Here […]
Kavli Affiliate: Darcy Peterka | Authors: Georgia Bastos, Jacob T Holmes, Jordan M Ross, Anna M Rader, Connor G Gallimore, Darcy S Peterka and Jordan P Hamm | Summary: Visual processing is strongly influenced by context. Stimuli that deviate from contextual regularities elicit augmented responses in primary visual cortex (V1). These heightened responses, known as […]

Montague, Julian Lucas, Chris Condon, Jordan Eizenga, Sissel Juul, Sean McKenzie, Sara Simmonds, Jimin Park, Mobin Asri, Sergey Koren, Evan Eichler, Richard Axel, Bruce Martin, Paolo Carnevali, Karen Miga and Benedict Paten | […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Min | Authors: Christopher R. Evans, Marina K. Smiley, Sean Asahara Thio, Mian Wei, Alexa Price-Whelan, Wei Min and Lars E.P. Dietrich | Summary: Within biofilms, gradients of electron acceptors such as oxygen stimulate the formation of physiological subpopulations. This heterogeneity can enable cross-feeding and promote drug resilience, features of the multicellular […]
Kavli Affiliate: Vincent Ferrera | Authors: Dong Liu, Fabian A Munoz Silva, Soroosh Sanatkhani, Antonios Pouliopoulos, Elisa Konofagou, Jack Grinband and Vincent P. Ferrera | Summary: Focused ultrasound (FUS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technology that is being investigated for potential treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Focused ultrasound combined with microbubbles can temporarily open the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stefano Fusi | Authors: Lara M. Boyle, Lorenzo Posani, Sarah Irfan, Steven A. Siegelbaum and Stefano Fusi | Summary: Social recognition consists of multiple memory processes, including the detection of familiarity – the ability to rapidly distinguish familiar from novel individuals – and recollection – the effortful recall of where a social episode […]
Kavli Affiliate: Elizabeth Hillman | Authors: Dena Goldblatt, Stephanie Huang, Marie R. Greaney, Kyla R. Hamling, Venkatakaushik Voleti, Citlali Perez-Campos, Kripa B. Patel, Wenze Li, Elizabeth M. C. Hillman, Martha W. Bagnall and David Schoppik | Summary: Abstract Across the nervous system, neurons with similar attributes are topographically organized. This topography reflects developmental pressures. Oddly, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Aniruddha Das | Authors: Aniruddha Das, Debojyoti Das, Arundhati Das and Amaresh Chandra Panda | Summary: Current RNA purification methods widely use silica-based columns that allow quick isolation of high-quality and good quantities of RNA. However, the major limitations include high cost, the requirement of different kits for small RNA isolation, genomic DNA […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott Small | Authors: Scott T. Small, Carlo Costantini, N’Fale Sagnon, Moussa W. Guelbeogo, Scott J. Emrich, Andrew D. Kern, Michael C. Fontaine and Nora J. Besansky | Summary: Species distributed across heterogeneous environments often evolve locally adapted ecotypes, but understanding of the genetic mechanisms involved in their formation and maintenance in the […]
