Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Woolley | Authors: Isabella Catalano and Sarah C Woolley | Summary: Social and sensory experiences across the lifespan can shape social interactions, however, experience-dependent plasticity is widely studied within discrete life stages. In the socially monogamous zebra finch, in which females use learned vocal signals to identify individuals and form long-lasting pair […]

Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: Marcus A Triplett, Marta Gajowa, Benjamin Antin, Masato Sadahiro, Hillel Adesnik and Liam Paninski | Summary: Discovering how neural computations are implemented in the cortex at the level of monosynaptic connectivity requires probing for the existence of synapses from possibly thousands of presynaptic candidate neurons. Two-photon optogenetics has been […]

Kavli Affiliate: Stefano Fusi | Authors: W. Jeffrey Johnston and Stefano Fusi | Summary: The brain has a well-known large scale organization at the level of brain regions, where different regions have been argued to primarily serve different behavioral functions. This regional specialization has been explained theoretically as arising from constraints on connectivity and the […]

C/EBPβ is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: Yizi Zhang, Hanrui Lyu, Cole Hurwitz, Shuqi Wang, Charles Lincoln Findling, Felix Hubert, Alexandre Pouget, International Brain Laboratory, Erdem Varol and Liam Paninski | Summary: Traditional neural decoders model the relationship between neural activity and behavior within individual trials of a single experimental session, neglecting correlations across trials and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Stefano Fusi and Michael Goldberg | Authors: Anna Ipata, Valeria Fascianelli, Chris I De Zeeuw, Naveen Sendhilnathan, Stefano Fusi and Michael E. Goldberg | Summary: Visuomotor association involves linking an arbitrary visual cue to a well-learned movement. Transient inactivation of Crus I/II impairs primates’ ability to learn new associations and delays motor responses […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Churchland | Authors: Sean M. Perkins, Elom A. Amematsro, John P. Cunningham, Qi Wang and Mark M. Churchland | Summary: Decoders for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) assume constraints on neural activity, chosen to reflect scientific beliefs while yielding tractable computations. Recent scientific advances suggest that the true constraints on neural activity, especially its […]
