Preservation of prehearing spontaneous activity enables early auditory system development in deaf mice

Kavli Affiliate: Dwight Bergles, Patrick Kanold | Authors: Calvin J Kersbergen, Travis A Babola, Patrick O Kanold and Dwight E Bergles | Summary: ABSTRACT Intrinsically generated neural activity propagates through the developing auditory system to promote maturation and refinement of sound processing circuits prior to hearing onset. This early patterned activity is induced by non-sensory […]

A machine learning based approach towards high-dimensional mediation analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Brian Caffo, Martin Lindquist | Authors: Tanmay Nath, Brian Caffo, Tor Wager and Martin Lindquist | Summary: Abstract Mediation analysis is used to investigate the role of intermediate variables (mediators) that lie in the path between an exposure and an outcome variable. While significant research has focused on developing methods for assessing the […]
