The shape of attention: How cognitive goals sculpt cortical representation of speech.

Kavli Affiliate: Mounya Elhilali | Authors: Moïra-Phoebé Huet and Mounya Elhilali | Summary: Perception requires more than passive sensing—it involves prioritizing the features most relevant to ongoing cognitive goals, a process guided by selective attention. A central question is whether attention operates by enhancing all features of a selected target, or by optimizing neural encoding […]

Shared and distinct cortical mechanisms for working memory and decision-making.

Kavli Affiliate: Daeyeol Lee | Authors: Hyojung Seo, Daeyeol Lee and Shanna K Murray | Summary: The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and lateral intraparietal cortex (LIP) in the primate brain are critically involved in working memory during tasks that require the retention of information over a delay. These same regions have also been implicated in […]

Dynamic Resting-State Network Markers of Disruptive Behavior Problems in Youth

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Lindquist | Authors: Heather Shappell, Zhiyuan Liu, Mohammadreza Khodaei, George He, Dylan Gee, Martin Lindquist, Denis G. Sukhodolsky, Gregory McCarthy and Karim Ibrahim | Summary: Background Childhood disruptive behavior problems are linked to aberrant integrity within large-scale cognitive control networks. However, it is unclear if transitory or dynamic variation in the functional […]

Early development of direction selectivity in higher visual cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Kristina Nielsen | Authors: Dallas C Khamiss, Augusto A Lempel, Brandon R Nanfito and Kristina Juliane Nielsen | Summary: A fundamental aspect of visual motion processing is the computation of motion direction. In ferrets, as in primates, selectivity for motion direction is found both in early cortical stages like the primary visual cortex […]

Overexpression of Meis factors in late-stage retinal progenitors yields complex effects on temporal patterning and neurogenesis.

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Patrick Leavey, Lizhi Jiang, Nicole Pannullo, Clayton Santiago and Seth Blackshaw | Summary: The vertebrate retina serves as a model for studying neurogenesis and cell fate specification, with retinal progenitor cells following a tightly regulated temporal sequence to generate distinct cell types. Meis1 and Meis2 are transcription factors implicated […]
