Donaldson, Chun-Jun Guo and Daniel Mucida | Summary: Enteric neurons control gut physiology by regulating peristalsis, nutrient absorption, and secretion. Disruptions in microbial communities caused by antibiotics or enteric […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cynthia F. Moss | Authors: Nikita M Finger, Keegan E Eveland, Xiaoyan Yin and Cynthia F Moss | Summary: Echolocating bats can navigate complex 3D environments by integrating prior knowledge of spatial layouts and real-time sensory cues. This study demonstrates that inattentional blindness to sensory information undermines successful navigation in Egyptian fruit bats, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Janak | Authors: Robin Magnard, Yifeng Cheng, Joanna Zhou, Haley Province, Nathalie Thiriet, Patricia H Janak and Youna Vandaele | Summary: Reward-associated cues serve different functions depending on whether they precede or terminate action sequences. Cues that precede action sequences and signal opportunity for reward could serve as GO signals to initiate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Emmanuel C Ijezie, Michael J Miller, Celine Hardy, Ava R Jarvis, Timothy Czajka, Lianna D’Brant, Natasha Rugenstein, Adam Waickman, Eain Murphy and David Butler | Summary: INTRODUCTION Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection alters critical markers of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in neurons. One key marker of AD is the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Woolley | Authors: Isabella Catalano and Sarah C Woolley | Summary: Social and sensory experiences across the lifespan can shape social interactions, however, experience-dependent plasticity is widely studied within discrete life stages. In the socially monogamous zebra finch, in which females use learned vocal signals to identify individuals and form long-lasting pair […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Li Ji-An, Marcus K Benna and Marcelo G Mattar | Summary: Normative modeling frameworks such as Bayesian inference and reinforcement learning provide valuable insights into the fundamental principles governing adaptive behavior. While these frameworks are valued for their simplicity and interpretability, their reliance on few parameters often limits their […]

Kavli Affiliate: Carey Priebe and Joshua Vogelstein | Authors: Qingyang Wang, Albert Cardona, Marta Zlatic, Joshua Vogelstein and Carey Priebe | Summary: Approximately four in five neurons are excitatory. This is true across functional regions and species. Why do we have so many excitatory neurons? Little is known. Here we provide a normative answer to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Ammon Thompson, Michael R. May, Ben Hopkins, Nerisa Riedl, Olga Barmina, Benjamin J. Liebeskind, Li Zhao, David Begun and Artyom Kopp | Summary: Changes in gene expression are a key driver of phenotypic evolution, leading to a persistent interest in the evolution of transcriptomes. Traditionally, gene expression is modeled […]
