Kavli Affiliate: Jonathan Whitlock | Authors: Marcia Becu, Ivan Markel Krasovec, Pearl Saldanha, Jonathan Whitlock and Christian F Doeller | Summary: Vector-based spatial coding has been demonstrated in rodents, yet its neural basis in humans and its contribution to navigation remain poorly understood. Using a novel spatial updating task, we show that egocentric directional signals […]
Kavli Affiliate: Maryam Ziaei | Authors: Arjun Dave, Shuer Ye, Leona R Batz, Xiaqing Lan, Heidi Jacobs and Maryam Ziaei | Summary: Interpreting ambiguous environmental cues, like facial expressions, becomes increasingly challenging with age, especially as cognitive resources decline. Managing these challenges requires adaptive neural mechanisms that are essential for maintaining mental well-being. The locus […]
Kavli Affiliate: Maryam Ziaei | Authors: Shuer Ye, Arjun Dave, Alireza Salami and Maryam Ziaei | Summary: Functional dedifferentiation, a hallmark of brain aging particularly evident within the frontoparietal network (FPN), has been extensively investigated in the context of cognitive decline, yet its implications for late-life mental health remain poorly understood. Leveraging naturalistic fMRI combined […]
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: 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 […]

F. Neuhauss, Nathalie Jurisch-Yaksi and Emre Yaksi | Summary: Inhibition contributes to various brain computations from sensory motor transformations to cognitive operations. […]

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 […]
