Purkinje cells in Crus I and II encode the visual stimulus and the impending choice as monkeys learn a reinforcement based visuomotor association task

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 […]

An emerging view of neural geometry in motor cortex supports high-performance decoding

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 […]

Human-specific paralogs of SRGAP2 induce neotenic features of microglia structural and functional maturation

Kavli Affiliate: Franck Polleux | Authors: Carlos Diaz-Salazar, Marine A KRZISCH, Juyoun Yoo, Patricia Nano, Aparna Bhaduri, Rudolph Jaenisch and Franck Polleux | Summary: Microglia play key roles in shaping synaptic connectivity during neural circuits development. Whether microglia display human-specific features of structural and functional maturation is currently unknown. We show that the ancestral gene […]
