Kavli Affiliate: Nathaniel Sawtell | Authors: Avner Wallach and Nathaniel B Sawtell | Summary: Nervous systems are hypothesized to learn and store internal models that predict the sensory consequences of motor actions. However, little is known about the neural mechanisms for generating accurate predictions under real-world conditions in which the sensory consequences of action depend […]

Kavli Affiliate: Costa, Rui | Authors: Claire L Warriner, Samaher Fageiry, Shreya Saxena, Rui M Costa and Andrew Miri | Summary: During limb movement, spinal circuits facilitate the alternating activation of antagonistic flexor and extensor muscles. Yet antagonist cocontraction is often required to stabilize joints, like when loads are handled. Previous results suggest that these […]

Du Bois and Daniel L. Minor, Jr. | Summary: American bullfrog (Rana castesbeiana) saxiphilin (RcSxph) is a high-affinity ‘toxin sponge’ protein thought to prevent intoxication by saxitoxin (STX), a lethal […]
Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Vignesh Ramachandran, Gregory Hatlestad and Travis White | Summary: Background: One way single-celled eukaryotes respond to DNA damage stress is by modifying their gene expression, facilitating genomic repair. Gene expression responses to DNA damage induced by methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) have been studied in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Solomon Snyder | Authors: Robin Roychaudhuri, Hasti Atashi and Solomon Snyder | Summary: The hippocampal CA3 subregion is a densely connected recurrent circuit that supports memory consolidation and retrieval by generating and storing sequential neuronal activity patterns that reflect recent experience. The encoding of precise temporal firing patterns in CA3 ensembles during awake-behavior […]
Kavli Affiliate: Solomon Snyder | Authors: Robin Roychaudhuri, Hasti Atashi and Solomon Snyder | Summary: The adult subventricular zone is one of the two neurogenic niches that continuously produce newborn neurons. Here we show that serine racemase (SR), an enzyme that catalyzes the racemization of L-serine to D-serine and vice versa, affects neurogenesis in the […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Courtney Glavis-Bloom, Casey R Vanderlip and John H Reynolds | Summary: Aging is the greatest risk factor for the development of neurodegenerative diseases, yet we still do not understand how the aging process leads to pathological vulnerability. The research community has relied heavily on mouse models, but the considerable […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Hawkins | Authors: Sreejan Kumar, Theodore R. Sumers, Takateru Yamakoshi, Ariel Goldstein, Uri Hasson, Kenneth A. Norman, Thomas L. Griffiths, Robert D. Hawkins and Samuel A. Nastase | Summary: Piecing together the meaning of a narrative requires understanding not only the individual words but also the intricate relationships between them. How does […]
