Kavli Affiliate: Ying Meng | Authors: Akiko FUJIWARA, Xian-Ying Meng, Yoichi Kamagata and Tsutomu TSUCHIDA | Summary: Abstract Many insects contain endosymbiotic bacteria within their bodies. In multiple endosymbiotic systems comprising two or more symbionts, each of the symbionts is generally localized in a different host cell or tissue. Bemisia tabaci （Sweet potato whitefly）possesses a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tatyana Sharpee | Authors: Ryan J. Rowekamp and Tatyana Sharpee | Summary: Abstract Despite recent successes in machine vision, artificial recognition systems continue to be less robust than biological systems. The brittleness of artificial recognition system has been attributed to the linearity of the core operation that matches inputs to target patterns at […]

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Greengard | Authors: Ran Zhang, Margarete Knudsen, Pedro Del Cioppo Vasques, Alicja Tadych, Patricia Rodriguez-Rodriguez, Paul Greengard, Jean-Pierre Roussarie, Ana Milosevic and Olga G. Troyanskaya | Summary: Abstract Astrocytes have been shown to play a central role in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). However, the genes and biological pathways underlying disease manifestation are unknown, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: João Pedro Carvalho Moriera, Vinícius Rezende Carvalho, Eduardo Mazoni Andrade Marçal Mendes, Aria Fallah, Terrence J. Sejnowski, Claudia Lainscsek and Lindy B Comstock | Summary: Abstract Electroencephalography (EEG) holds promise for brain-computer interface (BCI) devices as a non-invasive measure of neural activity. With increased attention to EEG-based BCI systems, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Denis Wirtz | Authors: Ashleigh J. Crawford, Clara Gomez-Cruz, Gabriella C. Russo, Wilson Huang, Isha Bhorkar, Arrate Munoz-Barrutia, Denis Wirtz and Daniel Garcia-Gonzalez | Summary: Abstract Cell proliferation and invasion are two key drivers of tumor progression and are traditionally considered two independent cellular processes regulated by distinct pathways. Through in vitro and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristofer Bouchard | Authors: Jiali Lu, Sumithra Surendralal, Kristofer E Bouchard and Dezhe Z. Jin | Summary: Abstract Songs of the Bengalese finch consist of variable sequences of syllables. The sequences follow probabilistic rules, and can be statistically described by partially observable Markov models (POMMs), which consist of states and probabilistic transitions between […]
Kavli Affiliate: Attila Losonczy | Authors: John C Bowler and Attila Losonczy | Summary: Summary The entorhinal cortex (EC) is central to the brain’s navigation system. Its subregions are conventionally thought to compute dichotomous representations for spatial processing: medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) provides a global spatial map, while lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) encodes specific sensory […]
Kavli Affiliate: Steven Siegelbaum | Authors: Tobias Bock, Eric W Buss, Olivia M Lofaro, Felix W Leroy, Bina Santoro and Steven A Siegelbaum | Summary: Abstract Hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels generate the cationic Ih current in neurons and regulate the excitability of neuronal networks. The function of HCN channels depends, in part, on their […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gaby Maimon | Authors: Peter Mussells Pires, L F Abbott and Gaby Maimon | Summary: Abstract Neuronal signals relevant for spatial navigation have been described in many species[1-12], however, a circuit-level understanding of how such signals interact to guide behaviour is lacking. Here we characterize a neuronal circuit in the Drosophila central complex […]
