Hierarchical Deviant Processing in Auditory Cortex of Awake Mice

Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Dan Luo, Ji Liu, Ryszard Auksztulewicz, Tony Ka Wing Yip, Patrick O. Kanold and Jan W. Schnupp | Summary: Detecting patterns, and noticing unexpected pattern changes, in the environment is a vital aspect of sensory processing. Adaptation and prediction error responses are two components of neural processing related to […]

Bacterial meningitis in the early postnatal mouse studied at single-cell resolution

Kavli Affiliate: Jeremy Nathans | Authors: Jie Wang, Amir Rattner and Jeremy Nathans | Summary: Bacterial meningitis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among infants and the elderly. Here we study mice to assess the response of each of the major meningeal cell types to early postnatal E. coli infection using single […]

Cellular and Fibrillar Collagen Analyses in an Animal Model of Retinal Detachment-Related Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy Reveals a Defined Transition to Chronic Fibrosis

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Cornelia Peterson, Clayton P. Santiago, Yuchen Lu, Antoinette Price, Minda M. McNally, William Schubert, Seth Blackshaw, Charles G. Eberhart and Mandeep S. Singh | Summary: SUMMARY Purpose Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is the most common cause of failure of surgically repaired rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Chemically-induced and cell-injection PVR models […]

Interactive auditory task reveals complex sensory-action integration in mouse primary auditory cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Ji Liu and Patrick O Kanold | Summary: SUMMARY Predictive coding theory postulates that the brain achieves perception by actively making predictions about the incoming sensory information and correcting them if errors signals arise. These signals are likely the most relevant when the individual is actively interacting with the […]

Two types of locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons drive reinforcement learning

Kavli Affiliate: Jeremiah Cohen | Authors: Zhixiao Su and Jeremiah Y. Cohen | Summary: Abstract The cerebral cortex generates flexible behavior by learning. Reinforcement learning is thought to be driven by error signals in midbrain dopamine neurons. However, they project more densely to basal ganglia than cortex, leaving open the possibility of another source of […]

Automated head-fixation training system with high levels of animal participation in psychoacoustic tasks

Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Ji Liu, Kate Maximov and Patrick O Kanold | Summary: Abstract Many animal training paradigms rely on head-fixation. Head-fixation training is typically laborious and can benefit from automation to relieve the workload as well as to reduce the variability in the training outcome. Several groups have reported successful implementations […]

Generative network modeling reveals quantitative definitions of bilateral symmetry exhibited by a whole insect brain connectome

Kavli Affiliate: Carey Priebe, Joshua Vogelstein | Authors: Benjamin D. Pedigo, Mike Powell, Eric W. Bridgeford, Michael Winding, Carey E. Priebe and Joshua T. Vogelstein | Summary: Abstract Comparing connectomes can help explain how neural connectivity is related to genetics, disease, development, learning, and behavior. However, making statistical inferences about the significance and nature of […]
