Kavli Affiliate: Donald Geman | Authors: An Wang, Stephanie C Hicks, Donald Geman and Laurent Younes | Summary: The selection of marker gene panels is critical for capturing the cellular and spatial heterogeneity in the expanding atlases of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics data. Most current approaches to marker gene selection operate in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Reza Shadmehr | Authors: Paul Hage, Mohammad Amin Fakharian, Alden M. Shoup, Jay S Pi, Ehsan Sedaghat-Nejad, Simon P Orozco, In Kyu Jang, Vivian Looi, Toren Arginteanu and Reza Shadmehr | Summary: We use our tongue much like our hands: to interact with objects and transport them. For example, we use our hands […]
Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Nguyet Le, Sherine Awad, Isabella Palazzo, Thanh Hoang and Seth Blackshaw | Summary: Retinal Müller glia in cold-blooded vertebrates can reprogram into neurogenic progenitors to replace neurons lost to injury, but mammals lack this ability. While recent studies have shown that transgenic overexpression of neurogenic bHLH factors and glial-specific […]
Kavli Affiliate: Reza Shadmehr | Authors: Mohammad Amin Fakharian, Alden Shoup, Paul Hage, Hisham Elseweifi and Reza Shadmehr | Summary: Null space theory predicts that a neuron will often generate spikes not to produce behavior, but to prevent another neuron’s impact on behavior. Here, we present a direct test of this theory in the brain. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kathleen Cullen and Vikram Chib | Authors: Joonhee Leo Lee, Agostina Casamento-Moran, Amy J Bastian, Kathleen E Cullen and Vikram S. Chib | Summary: Goal-directed motor performance relies on the brain’s ability to distinguish between actions that lead to successful and unsuccessful outcomes. The basal ganglia (BG) and cerebellum (CBL) are integral to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Vogelstein | Authors: Eric W Bridgeford, Jaewon Chung, Robert J Anderson, Ali Mahzarnia, Jacques A Stout, Hae Sol Moon, Zay Yar Han, Joshua T Vogelstein and Alexandra Badea | Summary: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) lacks effective cures and is typically detected after substantial pathological changes have occurred, making intervention challenging. Early detection and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Krishna Singh, yang jin, Mingwen Hu, Isabella Pallazo, Marisol Cano,, Thanh Hoang, Imran Bhutto, Shusheng Wang, Debasish Sinha, Seth Blackshaw, Jiang Qian and James T. Handa | Summary: Environmental exposure such as cigarette smoke induces epigenetic changes that can induce degenerative heterogeneity and accelerate aging. In early age-related macular […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kathleen Cullen | Authors: Hannah R Martin, Brandie Morris Verdone, Omar Lopez-Ramirez, Merrill Green, Dana Silvian, Emily Scott, Kathleen E Cullen and Ruth Anne Eatock | Summary: Vestibular hair cells (HCs) faithfully and rapidly detect head motions and gravity, driving motor reflexes that stabilize balance and gaze during locomotion. With the transition from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Daniel Sobrid-Camean, Bramwell Coulson, Michael Miller, Matthew CW Oswald, Tom Pettini, Richard A Baines and Matthias Landgraf | Summary: As developing networks transition from spontaneous irregular to patterned activity, they undergo plastic tuning phases, termed “critical periods”; “critical” because disturbances during these phases can lead to lasting changes in […]
