Kavli Affiliate: Su Guo | Authors: Krishnashish Bose, Su Guo and Karnika Bhardwaj | Summary: Paradoxical kinesia—the temporary alleviation of motor deficits by powerful, urgent stimuli in Parkinson’s disease (PD)—remains poorly understood at the neural circuit level. Through chemo-genetic ablation of tyrosine hydroxylase-expressing neurons in larval zebrafish and brain-wide calcium imaging under head-fixed, tail-free conditions, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Haley Appel, Rogger Carmen-Orozco, Clayton Santiago, Thanh Hoang and Seth Blackshaw | Summary: The RNA-binding protein Ptbp1 has been proposed as a master regulator of neuronal fate, repressing neurogenesis through its effects on alternative splicing and miRNA maturation. While prior studies using RNA interference suggested that Ptbp1 loss promotes […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nathaniel Sawtell | Authors: Krista E Perks, Mariela D Petkova, Salomon Z Muller, Michael Genecin, Adishree Ghatare, Richard Schalek, Yuelong Wu, Michal Januszewski, Viren Jain, Jeff W Lichtman, LF Abbott and Nathaniel B Sawtell | Summary: Transitive inference (TI) is a cognitive process in which decisions are guided by internal representations of abstract […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Keisuke Harigaya, Wayne Hu, Rayne Liu, Huangyu Xiao, | Summary: We show that enhancement of the axion relic abundance compared to the standard misalignment contribution generically leads to the production of nonzero momentum axion modes, resulting in warm dark matter behavior and enhanced isocurvature perturbations. It leads […]
Kavli Affiliate: Vincent Ferrera | Authors: Fabian A Munoz Silva, Greg Jensen, Maxwell Shinn, Yelda Alkan, John Murray, Herbert Terrace and Vincent P Ferrera | Summary: Transitive inference (TI) is a cognitive process in which decisions are guided by internal representations of abstract relationships. While the mechanisms underlying transitive learning have been well studied, the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeanne Paz | Authors: Jeremy B Ford, Olive N Tambou, Jarret AP Weinrich, Debleena Chatterjee, Allan Basbaum and Jeanne T. Paz | Summary: Central post-stroke pain (CPSP) is a highly distressing condition that develops in 50% of people who suffer a thalamic stroke, and is typically unresponsive to current clinical treatments. Hypoxic damage […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Chen Gong, Bo Liang, Wei Gao, Chenren Xu, | Summary: Generative models have gained significant attention for their ability to produce realistic synthetic data that supplements the quantity of real-world datasets. While recent studies show performance improvements in wireless sensing tasks by incorporating all synthetic data into […]
Kavli Affiliate: Vikaas Sohal | Authors: Xiyu Zhu, Lara L. Hagopian, Kira E. Wallquist and Vikaas Singh Sohal | Summary: While glutamatergic synaptic plasticity is believed to be a fundamental mechanism mediating learning, the behavioral significance of plasticity at cortical GABAergic synapses remains less well understood. Furthermore, despite recent discoveries of long-range projections from neocortical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Lei Hu, Tomás Cabrera, Antonella Palmese, James Freeburn, Mattia Bulla | Summary: Gravitational wave (GW) neutron star mergers with an associated electromagnetic counterpart constitute powerful probes of binary evolution, the production sites of heavy elements, general relativity, and the expansion of the universe. Only a handful […]
