The superior colliculus gates dopamine responses to conditioned stimuli in visual classical conditioning

Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Yan-Feng Zhang, Jean-Philippe Dufour, Peter Zatka-Haas, Peter Redgrave, Melony J Black, Armin Lak, Ed Mann, Stephanie J Cragg, Wickliffe Abraham and John NJ Reynolds | Summary: In classical Pavlovian conditioning, it is well-established that midbrain dopamine neurons respond to conditioned stimuli (CS) that predict a reward. However, how the […]

Targeted stimulation of motor cortex neural ensembles drives learned movements

Kavli Affiliate: Takaki Komiyama | Authors: An Wu, Qiyu Chen, Bin Yu, Soyoung Chae, Zijing Tan, Assaf Ramot and Takaki Komiyama | Summary: During the execution of learned motor skills, the neural population in the layer 2/3 (L2/3) of the primary motor cortex (M1) expresses a reproducible spatiotemporal activity pattern. It is debated whether M1 […]

Non-local modular flows across deformed null-cuts

Kavli Affiliate: Huajia Wang | First 5 Authors: Guan-Cheng Lu, Huajia Wang, , , | Summary: Modular flows probe important aspects of the entanglement structures, especially those of QFTs, in a dynamical framework. Despite the expected non-local nature in the general cases, the majority of explicitly understood examples feature local space-time trajectories under modular flows. […]
