Leveraging place field repetition to understand positional versus nonpositional inputs to hippocampal field CA1

Kavli Affiliate: James Knierim | Authors: William Hockeimer, Ruo-Yah Lai, Maanasa Natrajan, William Snider and James J. Knierim | Summary: The hippocampus is believed to encode episodic memory by binding information about the content of experience within a spatial framework encoding the location of that experience. Previous work implies a distinction between positional inputs to […]

Hippocampal-medial entorhinal circuit is differently organized along the dorsoventral axis in rodents

Kavli Affiliate: Menno Witter | Authors: Shinya Ohara, Märt Rannap, Ken-Ichiro Tsutsui, Andreas Draguhn, Alexei V. Egorov and Menno P. Witter | Summary: The general understanding of hippocampal circuits is that the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex (EC) are topographically connected through parallel identical circuits along the dorsoventral axis. Our anterograde tracing and in vitro […]

The role of the cerebellum in learning to predict reward: evidence from cerebellar ataxia

Kavli Affiliate: Daphna Shohamy | Authors: Jonathan Nicholas, Christian Amlang, Chi-Ying Lin, Leila Montaser-Kouhsari, Natasha Desai, Ming-Kai Pan, Sheng-Han Kuo and Daphna Shohamy | Summary: Recent findings in animals have challenged the traditional view of the cerebellum solely as the site of motor control, suggesting that the cerebellum may also be important for learning to […]

A developmental pathway for epithelial-to-motoneuron transformation in C. elegans

Kavli Affiliate: Shai Shaham | Authors: Alina Rashid, Maya Tevlin, Yun Lu and Shai Shaham | Summary: Motoneurons and motoneuron-like pancreatic beta cells arise from radial glia and ductal cells, both tube-lining progenitors that share molecular regulators. To uncover programs underlying motoneuron formation, we studied a similar, cell-division-independent transformation of the C. elegans tube-lining Y […]

Unifying model for three forms of contextual modulation including feedback input from higher visual areas

Kavli Affiliate: Kenneth Miller | Authors: Serena Di santo, Mario Dipoppa, Andreas Keller, Morgane Roth, Massimo Scanziani and Kenneth D Miller | Summary: Neural responses to a localized visual stimulus are modulated by the content of its surrounding. This phenomenon manifests in several forms of contextual modulation, including three interrelated properties of the visual cortex: […]
