Modulation of aggression by social novelty recognition memory in the hippocampal CA2 region

Kavli Affiliate: Steven Siegelbaum | Authors: Andres Villegas and Steven A Siegelbaum | Summary: The dorsal CA2 subregion (dCA2) of the hippocampus exerts a critical role in social novelty recognition (SNR) memory and in the promotion of social aggression. Whether the social aggression and SNR memory functions of dCA2 are related or represent independent processes […]

Two routes to value-based decisions in Parkinsons disease: differentiating incremental reinforcement learning from episodic memory

Kavli Affiliate: Daphna Shohamy | Authors: Peter Jendrichovsky, Hey-Kyoung Lee and Patrick O Kanold | Summary: Patients with Parkinsons disease are impaired at incremental reward-based learning. It is typically assumed that this impairment reflects a loss of striatal dopamine. However, many open questions remain about the nature of reward-based learning deficits in Parkinsons. Recent studies […]

Coordination and persistence of aggressive visual communication in Siamese fighting fish

Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: Claire P. Everett, Amy L. Norovich, Jessica E. Burke, Matthew R Whiteway, Pei-Yin Shih, Yuyang Zhu, Liam Paninski and Andres Bendesky | Summary: Animals coordinate their behavior with each other during both cooperative and agonistic social interactions. Such coordination often adopts the form of “turn taking”, in which the […]

Distinct anatomical and functional corticospinal inputs innervate different spinal neuron types

Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: Samaher Fageiry, Claire L Warriner, Jackson Loper, Liam Paninski, Thomas Reardon, Thomas M. Jessell, Rui M. Costa and Andrew Miri | Summary: The corticospinal tract exerts its influence on movement through spinal neurons, which can be divided into types that exhibit distinct functions. However, it remains unknown whether these […]
