Exact linear theory of perturbation response in a space- and feature-dependent cortical circuit model

Posted by dbos Columbia, This Week: Neuroscience

Kavli Affiliate: Kenneth Miller | Authors: Ho Yin Chau, Kenneth D Miller and Agostina Palmigiano | Summary: What are the principles that govern the responses of cortical networks to their inputs and the emergence of these responses from recurrent connectivity? Recent experiments have probed these questions by measuring cortical responses to two-photon optogenetic perturbations of […]

A genetic driver of epileptic encephalopathy impairs gating of synaptic glycolysis

Posted by dbos Rockefeller, This Week: Neuroscience

Kavli Affiliate: Timothy A. Ryan | Authors: Zhanat Koshenov, Alexandros C. Kokotos, Lorena Benedetti, Jennifer Lippincott Schwartz and Timothy A. Ryan | Summary: The brain is a disproportionately large consumer of fuel, estimated to expend ∼20% of the whole-body energy budget, and therefore it is critical to adequately control brain fuel expenditures while satisfying its […]

Deep Learning Improves Parameter Estimation in Reinforcement Learning Models

Posted by dbos This Week: Neuroscience, UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Hua-Dong Xiong, Li Ji-An, Marcelo G Mattar and Robert C Wilson | Summary: Cognitive modeling in psychology and neuroscience provides a formal approach to formulate and test hypotheses of cognitive processes. Such models rely on cognitive parameters that are intended to represent interpretable and identifiable psychological constructs. However, accurately […]

Spectral disruption of inter-hemispheric resting-state BOLD coherence at vasomotor frequency (~0.1 Hz) links vascular dysfunction to functional connectivity loss in carotid artery stenosis

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: David Kleinfeld | Authors: Sangcheon Choi, Gabriel Hoffmann, Sebastian Schneider, Stephan Kaczmarz, David Kleinfeld, Xin Yu, Christian Sorg and Christine Preibisch | Summary: Vasomotor dynamics at the infra-slow frequencies (~0.1 Hz), driven by synchronized oscillation of smooth muscle cells in vessel walls, play an important role in regulating cerebral perfusion and constitute a […]

Accept-reject decision-making revealed via a quantitative and ethological study of C. elegans foraging

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani | Authors: Jessica A Haley, Tianyi Chen, Mikio Aoi and Sreekanth H Chalasani | Summary: Decision-making is a ubiquitous component of animal behavior that is often studied in the context of foraging. Foragers make a series of decisions while locating food (food search), choosing between food types (diet or patch choice), […]

Architecture, Activation, and Conformational Plasticity in the GluA4 AMPA Receptor

Posted by dbos Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Huganir | Authors: William Dylan Hale, Richard L. Huganir and Edward C Twomey | Summary: AMPA-subtype glutamate receptors (AMPARs), composed of subunits GluA1-4, mediate fast, excitatory synaptic transmission in the brain. After glutamate binding, AMPAR ion channels exhibit multiple subconductance states that tune neuronal responses to glutamate. GluA4 is the rarest subunit […]
