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: 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: Sarah Woolley | Authors: Logan S James, Sarah C Woolley, Jon T Sakata, Courtney B Hilton, Michael J Ryan and Samuel A Mehr | Summary: Many animals produce sounds during courtship, and receivers prefer some sounds over others. Shared ancestry and convergent evolution may generate similarities in preference across species and could underlie […]
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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Min | Authors: Yaoqiang Ren, Baoping Qiao, Min Wei, Quanfa Tian and Wenke Guo | Summary: The authors have withdrawn this manuscript because [an error in the figures or improper use of them]. Therefore, the authors do not wish this work to be cited as reference for the project. If you have […]
Kavli Affiliate: Darcy Peterka | Authors: Eddy Albarran, Akira Fushiki, Anders Nelson, David Ng, Corryn Chaimowitz, Laudan Nikoobakht, Tanya Sippy, Darcy S Peterka and Rui M Costa | Summary: The basal ganglia and midbrain dopaminergic systems are critical for motor control, reward processing, and reinforcement learning, with dysfunction in these systems implicated in numerous neurodegenerative […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rui Costa | Authors: Ian Cone, Claudia Clopath and Rui Ponte Costa | Summary: Behavioral Timescale Synaptic Plasticity (BTSP) is a form of synaptic plasticity in which dendritic Ca2+ plateau potentials in hippocampal pyramidal neurons drive rapid place field formation. Unlike traditional learning rules, BTSP learns correlations on the timescales of seconds and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Goldberg | Authors: Michael E Goldberg, Harriet Dashnow, Kelley Harris and Aaron R Quinlan | Summary: Short tandem repeats (STRs) are hotspots of genomic instability that mutate at rates orders of magnitude greater than non-repetitive loci due to frequent replication slippage. Expansions at some STR loci cause Mendelian diseases, while variation at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Attila Losonczy | Authors: Simone Tasciotti, Daniel Maxim Iascone, Spyridon Chavlis, Luke Hammond, Yardena Katz, Attila Losonczy, Franck Polleaux and Panayiota Poirazi | Summary: The synaptic mechanisms driving feature selectivity in specific neuron types remains a fundamental and unresolved challenge in neuroscience. In hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons (PNs), the development of place selectivity, […]
