Ancient midbrain inhibitory neurons control selective spatial attention

Kavli Affiliate: Shreesh P. Mysore | Authors: Ninad B Kothari, Wen-Kai You, Arunima Banerjee, Qingcheng Zhang and Shreesh P Mysore | Summary: Animal behavior at any instant is guided by information from only a subset of the plethora of stimuli in their sensory environments. The neural circuit mechanisms that select a behaviorally relevant ‘target’ from […]

Gapped-kmer sequence modeling robustly identifies regulatory vocabularies and distal enhancers conserved between evolutionarily distant mammals

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Beer | Authors: Jin Woo Oh and Michael A Beer | Summary: Gene regulatory elements drive many complex biological phenomena such as fetal development, and their mutations are linked to a multitude of common human diseases. The phenotypic impacts of regulatory variants are often tested using their conserved orthologous counterparts in model […]

Whole-cortex in situ sequencing reveals peripheral input-dependent cell type-defined area identity

Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Xiaoyin Chen, Stephan Fischer, Mara CP Rue, Aixin Zhang, Didhiti Mukherjee, Patrick O Kanold, Jesse Gillis and Anthony Zador | Summary: The cortex is composed of neuronal types with diverse gene expression that are organized into specialized cortical areas. These areas, each with characteristic cytoarchitecture (Brodmann 1909; Vogt and […]

Placebo treatment affects brain systems related to affective and cognitive processes, but not nociceptive pain

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Lindquist | Authors: Rotem Botvinik-Nezer, Bogdan Petre, Marta Ceko, Martin A. Lindquist, Naomi P. Friedman and Tor D. Wager | Summary: Placebo analgesia is a replicable and well-studied phenomenon, yet it remains unclear to what degree it includes modulation of nociceptive processes. Some studies find effects consistent with nociceptive effects, but meta-analyses […]
