Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Kristopher T. Jensen, Guillaume Hennequin and Marcelo G. Mattar | Summary: When interacting with complex environments, humans can rapidly adapt their behavior to changes in task or context. To facilitate this adaptation, we often spend substantial periods of time contemplating possible futures before acting. For such planning to be […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Sachira Denagamage, Mitchell P Morton and Anirvan Nandy | Summary: Our eyes are in constant motion, yet we perceive the visual world as being stable. Predictive remapping of receptive fields is thought to be one of the critical mechanisms for enforcing perceptual stability during eye movements. While receptive field […]

Daniel Salzman | Summary: Sensory stimuli associated with aversive outcomes can cause multiple behavioral responses related to an animal’s evolving emotional state. We employed chemogenetic inactivation and two-photon imaging […]

Kavli Affiliate: Adam Gazzaley | Authors: Lorenzo Pasquini, Alexander Simon, Courtney Gallen, Hannes Kettner, Leor Roseman, Adam Gazzaley, Robin Carhart-Harris and Christopher Timmermann | Summary: N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a serotonergic psychedelic, known to rapidly induce short-lasting alterations in conscious experience, characterized by a profound and immersive sense of physical transcendence alongside rich and vivid auditory […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey M. Friedman | Authors: Bowen Tan, Kristina Hedbacker, Leah Kelly, Zhaoyue Zhang, Ji-Dung Luo, Joshua D. Rabinowitz and Jeffrey M. Friedman | Summary: Obese humans and diet induced obese mice (DIO) have high leptin levels and fail to respond to the exogenous hormone suggesting that obesity is caused by leptin resistance, the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Vincent Ferrera | Authors: Samuel Lippl, Kenneth Kay, Greg Jensen, Vincent P. Ferrera and L.F. Abbott | Summary: Humans and animals routinely infer relations between different items or events and generalize these relations to novel combinations of items (“compositional generalization”). This allows them to respond appropriately to radically novel circumstances and is fundamental […]
