Kavli Affiliate: Franck Polleux | Authors: Daniel M Virga, Stevie Hamilton, Bertha Osei, Abigail Morgan, Emiliano Zamponi, Natalie J Park, Victoria L Hewitt, David Zhang, Kevin C Gonzalez, Erik Bloss, Franck Polleux and Tommy L Lewis, Jr. | Summary: Neuronal mitochondria play important roles beyond ATP generation, including Ca2+ uptake, and therefore have instructive roles […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline Gottlieb | Authors: Michael Cohanpour, Mariam Aly and Jacqueline Gottlieb | Summary: Humans are immensely curious and motivated to reduce uncertainty. Inspired by studies of sensory uncertainty, we hypothesized that visual areas provide multivariate representations of uncertainty, which are read out by higher-order areas that encode confidence and, ultimately, translated into curiosity. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Attila Losonczy | Authors: Bert Vancura, Tristan Geiller and Attila Losonczy | Summary: Excitatory-inhibitory interactions structure recurrent network dynamics for efficient cortical computations. In the CA3 area of the hippocampus, recurrent circuit dynamics, including experience-induced plasticity at excitatory synapses, are thought to play a key role in episodic memory encoding and consolidation via […]

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 […]
