TLR4 signaling drives tissue inflammation, Claudin-5 internalization, and vascular barrier breakdown in a mouse model of neonatal meningitis

Kavli Affiliate: Jeremy Nathans | Authors: Philip V Seegren, Amir Rattner, Philip M Smallwood and Jeremy Nathans | Summary: Neonatal bacterial meningitis is a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality, yet the molecular and cellular basis of the leptomeningeal response to infection remains poorly defined. Here, we study a mouse model of neonatal E. […]

A Beta-Binomial Model for Estimating Zero- or One-inflated Pain Trajectories

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Lindquist | Authors: Yanxi Liu, Richard E. Harris, Daniel Clauw, Emine Bayman, Andrew Leroux and Martin A. Lindquist | Summary: Chronic pain is a widespread public health issue that imposes substantial health, emotional, and economic burdens on individuals and communities. Because pain is subjective and lacks objective biomarkers, it is typically measured […]

Neural substrates underlying the expectation of rewards resulting from effortful exertio

Kavli Affiliate: Vikram Chib | Authors: Aram Kim and Vikram S. Chib | Summary: Decisions to exert effort for reward are often conceptualized as reflecting a trade-off between anticipated benefits and effort costs. However, economic theories propose that valuation is reference-dependent, such that behavior is shaped relative to expected outcomes rather than absolute reward magnitude. […]

Uncovering internal states with a robust shared-state multi-neuron GLM-HMM framework

Kavli Affiliate: Adam S. Charles and Patricia Janak | Authors: Aamna Lawrence, Eva Yezerets, Patricia H Janak and Adam Charles | Summary: Neural systems exhibit multiple firing states that reflect an organism’s internal state and modulate the relationship between external environmental stimuli and behavior. Several studies have inferred these latent states by supplementing the traditional […]

Instrumental-Motor Transfer: The Relative Value of Competing Movement Goals Modulates Implicit Motor Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Vikram Chib | Authors: Naser Al-Fawakhiri, Vikram S. Chib and Samuel D. McDougle | Summary: Multiple learning signals can shape motor output, including reward and punishment (via value-based reinforcement learning) and sensorimotor error (via motor adaptation). However, it is unclear if action values, learned via reinforcement learning, interact with error-based motor learning. Here, […]
