Decoding contextual influences on auditory perception from primary auditory cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Mounya Elhilali | Authors: Bernhard Englitz, Sahar Akram, Mounya Elhilali and Shihab Shamma | Summary: SPerception can be highly dependent on stimulus context, but whether and how sensory areas encode the context remains uncertain. We used an ambiguous auditory stimulus – a tritone pair – to investigate the neural activity associated with a […]

Mammalian D-Cysteine controls insulin secretion in the pancreas

Kavli Affiliate: Solomon Snyder | Authors: Robin Roychaudhuri, Timothy West, Soumyaroop Bhattacharya, Harry Saavedra, Lauren Albacarys, Moataz M Gadalla, Leon Mario Amzel, Peixin Yang and Solomon H. Snyder | Summary: D-amino acids are being recognized in mammals as important molecules with function. This is a first identification of endogenous D-cysteine in mammalian pancreas. D-cysteine is […]

Laplacian pair state transfer in Q-graph

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Ming Jiang, Xiaogang Liu, Jing Wang, , | Summary: In 2018, Chen and Godsil proposed the concept of Laplacian perfect pair state transfer which is a brilliant generalization of Laplacian perfect state transfer. In this paper, we study the existence of Laplacian perfect pair state transfer in […]

Towards a universal analytical model for Population III star formation: interplay between feedback and fragmentation

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Boyuan Liu, James Gurian, Kohei Inayoshi, Shingo Hirano, Takashi Hosokawa | Summary: JWST has brought us new insights into Cosmic Dawn with tentative detection of the unique signatures of metal-free Population III (Pop III) stars, such as strong HeII emission, extremely blue UV spectrum, and enhanced nitrogen […]

A spatial model of autophosphorylation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II in a glutamatergic spine reveals dynamics of kinase activation in the first several seconds after a complex synaptic stimulus.

Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Thomas M Bartol, Mariam Ordyan, Terrence J Sejnowski, Padmini Rangamani and Mary B Kennedy | Summary: Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a biochemical process in excitatory glutamatergic synapses in the Central Nervous System (CNS). It is initiated by a bout of synaptic activation that is strong enough to contribute to […]

The Neurobiology of Cognitive Fatigue and Its Influence on Effort-Based Choice

Kavli Affiliate: Vikram Chib | Authors: Grace E Steward and Vikram S Chib | Summary: Feelings of cognitive fatigue emerge through repeated mental exertion and are ubiquitous in our daily lives. However, there is a limited understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the influence of cognitive fatigue on decisions to exert. We use functional magnetic […]

Sst- and Vip-Cre mouse lines without age-related hearing loss

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea Hasenstaub | Authors: Calvin T Foss, Timothy Olsen, James Bigelow and Andrea R Hasenstaub | Summary: GABAergic interneurons, including somatostatin (SST) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) positive cells, play a crucial role in cortical circuit processing. Cre recombinase-mediated manipulation of these interneurons is facilitated by commercially available knock-in mouse strains such as […]
