Kavli Affiliate: Michael Goldberg | Authors: Michael E. Goldberg, Olivia Rutler, Randy M. Bruno, Jung Man Park, Serena Persaud, Stylianos Kosmidis and Nina Hirano | Summary: Because the retina moves constantly, the retinotopic representation of the visual world is spatially inaccurate and the brain must transform this spatially inaccurate retinal signal to a spatially accurate […]

Kavli Affiliate: Franck Polleux, Attila Losonczy | Authors: Kevin C Gonzalez, Adrian Negrean, Zhenrui Liao, Franck Polleux and Attila Losonczy | Summary: Learning and memory are fundamental to adaptive behavior and cognition. Various forms of synaptic plasticity have been proposed as cellular substrates for the emergence of feature selectivity in neurons underlying episodic memory. However, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: Marcus A. Triplett, Marta Gajowa, Benjamin Antin, Masato Sadahiro, Hillel Adesnik and Liam Paninski | Summary: Abstract 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 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Stefano Fusi | Authors: Sean Chih-Hsiung Lim, Stefano Fusi and Rene Hen | Summary: The ventral hippocampus is a critical node in the distributed brain network that controls anxiety. Using miniature microscopy and calcium imaging, we recorded ventral CA1 (vCA1) neurons in freely moving mice as they explored variants of classic behavioral assays […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Goldberg | Authors: Xiao Wang, Cong Zhang, Lin Yang, Min Jin, Michael E Goldberg, Mingsha Zhang and Ning Qian | Summary: The nature and function of perisaccadic receptive-field (RF) remapping have been controversial. We used a delayed saccade task to reduce previous confounds and examined the remapping time course in areas LIP […]

Kavli Affiliate: Rafael Yuste | Authors: Alison Hanson, Raphael Reme, Noah Telerman, Wataru Yamamoto, Jean-Christophe Olivo-Marin, Thibault Lagache and Rafael Yuste | Summary: The ability to record every spike from every neuron in a behaving animal is one of the holy grails of neuroscience. Here, we report coming one step closer towards this goal with […]

Kavli Affiliate: Rui Costa | Authors: Leslie J Sibener, Alice C Mosberger, Tiffany X Chen, Vivek R Athalye, James M Murray and Rui M Costa | Summary: Reaches are complex movements that are critical for survival, and encompass the control of different aspects such as direction, speed, and endpoint precision. Complex movements have been postulated […]
