Kavli Affiliate: Jonathan Whitlock | Authors: Marcia Becu, Ivan Markel Krasovec, Pearl Saldanha, Jonathan Whitlock and Christian F Doeller | Summary: Vector-based spatial representation is key for navigation, mapping direction and distance between self and environment. Though observed in rodents, its neural basis in humans remains unclear. Using high-resolution imaging and a novel spatial updating […]

Kavli Affiliate: Giulia Quattrocolo | Authors: Kristian Moan, Robert P Machold and Giulia Quattrocolo | Summary: Cajal-Retzius (CR) cells are glutamatergic neurons that transiently populate the most superficial layer of the isocortex and allocortex during development, serving an essential role during both prenatal and early postnatal brain development. Notably, these cells disappear from most cortical […]

Kavli Affiliate: Emre Yaksi | Authors: Aytac Kadir Mutlu, Bram Serneels, Christoph Wiest, Anh-Tuan Trinh, Ricarda Bardenhewer, Fabrizio Palumbo, Oda Bjornevik Frisvold, Inger Kristine Fjeldskaar Aukrus, Anna Maria Ostenrath and Emre Yaksi | Summary: The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) plays an important role in shaping a wide range of behaviors, including mood, motivation, appetite, sleep, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Menno Witter | Authors: Paola Alemán-Andrade, Menno P. Witter, Ken-Ichiro Tsutsui and Shinya Ohara | Summary: Direct projections from the ventral hippocampus (vHPC) to the medial frontal cortex (MFC) play crucial roles in memory and emotional regulation. Using anterograde transsynaptic tracing and in vitro electrophysiology in mice, we document a previously unexplored pathway […]

Kavli Affiliate: Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser | Authors: Benjamin R Kanter, Christine M Lykken, May-Britt Moser and Edvard I. Moser | Summary: Our experience of the world is a continuous stream of events which must be segmented and organized simultaneously at multiple timescales. The neural mechanisms underlying this process remain unknown. Here, we simultaneously […]

Kavli Affiliate: Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser | Authors: Abraham Z. Vollan, Richard J. Gardner, May-Britt Moser and Edvard I. Moser | Summary: Place cells in the hippocampus and grid cells in the entorhinal cortex are elements of a neural map of self- position. To benefit navigation, this representation must be dynamically related to surrounding […]

Kavli Affiliate: Menno Witter | Authors: Daniel Reznik, Piotr Majka, Marcello GP Rosa, Menno P Witter and Christian F Doeller; | Summary: Throughout mammalian evolution, the hippocampal region, unlike the neocortex, largely preserved its cytoarchitectural organization and its role in mnemonic functions. This contrast raises the possibility that the hippocampal region receives different types of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Maryam Ziaei | Authors: Leona R Baetz, Shuer Ye, Xiaqing Lan and Maryam Ziaei | Summary: Across the adult lifespan, there are changes in how emotions are perceived and regulated. As individuals age, there is an observed improvement in emotion regulation and overall quicker recovery from negative emotions. While previous studies have shown […]
