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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
