Kavli Affiliate: David Linden | Authors: Daniel C de la Fuente, Claudia Tamburini, Emily Stonelake, William J Griffiths, Jeremy Hall, Michael J Owen, David E. J. Linden, Andrew Pocklington, Yuqin Wang and Meng Li | Summary: Dysregulation in neural progenitor proliferation and neuronal differentiation has been increasingly recognised as a common pathology in neural cells […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alex Kolodkin | Authors: Joelle M Dorskind, Sriram Sudarsanam, Randal A Hand, Jakub Ziak, Maame Amoah-Dankwah, Luis Guzman-Clavel, John Lee Soto-Vargas and Alex L Kolodkin | Summary: Proper cortical lamination is essential for cognition, learning, and memory. Within the somatosensory cortex, pyramidal excitatory neurons elaborate axon collateral branches in a laminar-specific manner that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Loren Koçillari, Marco Celotto, Nikolas A. Francis, Shoutik Mukherjee, Behtash Babadi, Patrick O. Kanold and Stefano Panzeri | Summary: Measures of functional connectivity have played a central role in advancing our understanding of how information is communicated within the brain. Traditionally, these studies have focused on identifying redundant functional […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kishore V. Kuchibhotla, Cynthia F. Moss | Authors: Jennifer Lawlor, Melville Wohlgemuth, Cynthia F Moss and Kishore V Kuchibhotla | Summary: Rapid categorization of vocalizations enables adaptive behavior across species. While categorical perception is thought to arise in the neocortex, humans and other animals could benefit from functional organization of ethologically-relevant sounds at […]
