Insulin/IGF Signaling Regulates Presynaptic Glutamate Release in Aversive Olfactory Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Cornelia Bargmann | Authors: Du Cheng, James Lee, Maximillian Brown, Margaret S. Ebert, Masahiro Tomioka, Yuichi Iino and Cornelia I Bargmann | Summary: Information flow through neural circuits is continuously modified by context-dependent learning. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, pairing specific odors with food deprivation results in aversion to the odor. Here we […]

Transient oscillations of neural firing rate associated with routing of evidence in a perceptual decision

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Shadlen | Authors: Naomi N Odean, Mehdi Sanayei and Michael N Shadlen | Summary: Abstract To form a perceptual decision the brain must acquire samples of evidence from the environment and incorporate them in computations that mediate choice behavior. While much is known about the neural circuits that process sensory information and […]

Fast rule switching and slow rule updating in a perceptual categorization task

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Flora Bouchacourt, Sina Tafazoli, Marcelo Gomes Mattar, Timothy J Buschman and Nathaniel Douglass Daw | Summary: Abstract To adapt to a changing world, we must be able to switch between rules already learned and, at other times, learn rules anew. Often we must do both at the same time, […]

Transcriptional and mutational signatures of the aging germline

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Evan Witt, Christopher B Langer, Nicolas Svetec and Li Zhao | Summary: Abstract Aging is a complex biological process that is accompanied by changes in gene expression and mutational load. In many species, including humans, older fathers pass on more paternally-derived de novo mutations; however, the cellular basis and […]
