Kavli Affiliate: Winrich Freiwald | Authors: Zetian Yang and Winrich A. Freiwald | Summary: Abstract Faces in motion reveal a plethora of information through visual dynamics. Faces can move in complex patterns while transforming facial shape, e.g. during the generation of different emotional expressions. While motion and shape processing have been studied extensively in separate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Samuel Pleasure | Authors: Daniela S Moura, Alekhya Parvathaneni, Atehsa Sahagun, Hirofumi Noguchi, Iris Tilton, Emma Brennan, Robert M Brock, Lindsay R. Halladay, Samuel J Pleasure and Laura A. Cocas | Summary: Abstract The mechanisms that drive the timing and specificity of oligodendrocyte myelination during development, or remyelination after injury or immune attack […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristofer Bouchard, Edward Chang | Authors: Jesse A Livezey, Ahyeon Hwang, Kseniya Usovich, Maximilian Dougherty, Edward F Chang and Kristofer E Bouchard | Summary: A common challenge in neuroscience is how to decompose noisy, multi-source signals measured in experiments into biophysically interpretable components. Analysis of cortical surface electrical potentials (CSEPs) measured using electrocorticography […]

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Vogelstein | Authors: Aki Nikolaidis, Andrew An Chen, Xiaoning He, Russell Shinohara, Joshua Vogelstein, Michael Milham and Haochang Shou | Summary: Biomarkers of behavior and psychiatric illness for cognitive and clinical neuroscience remain out of reach. Suboptimal reliability of biological measurements, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), is increasingly cited as […]
Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: James Yu, Amin Nejatbakhsh, Mahdi Torkashvand, Sahana Gangadharan, Maedeh Seyedolmohadesin, Jinmahn Kim, Liam Paninski and Vivek Venkatachalam | Summary: Tracking body parts in behaving animals, extracting fluorescence signals from cells embedded in deforming tissue, and analyzing cell migration patterns during development all require tracking objects with partially correlated motion. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kira Poskanzer | Authors: Silvia Pittolo, Sae Yokoyama, Drew Willoughby, Charlotte Taylor, Michael Reitman, Vincent Tse, Zhaofa Wu, Roberto Etchenique, Yulong Li and Kira E Poskanzer | Summary: The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a hub for cognitive control, and dopamine profoundly influences its functions. In other brain regions, astrocytes sense diverse neurotransmitters and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Costa, Rui | Authors: Riccardo Avvisati, Anna-Kristin Kaufmann, Callum J Young, Gabriella E Portlock, Sophie Cancemi, Rui Ponte Costa, Peter J Magill and Paul D Dodson | Summary: Midbrain dopamine neurons are thought to play key roles in learning by conveying the difference between expected and actual outcomes. While this teaching signal is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Young | Authors: Michael N Young, Michael J Sindoni, Amanda H Lewis, Stefan Zauscher and Jorg Grandl | Summary: Cells throughout the human body detect mechanical forces. While it is known that the rapid (millisecond) detection of mechanical forces is mediated by force-gated ion channels, a detailed quantitative understanding of cells as […]
