Kavli Affiliate: Edvard Moser, May-Britt Moser | Authors: Anne Nagelhus, Sebastian Andersson, Soledad Gonzalo Cogno, Edvard I. Moser and May-Britt Moser | Summary: Objects and landmarks are crucial for guiding navigation and must be integrated into the cognitive map of space. Studies of object coding in the hippocampus have primarily focused on activity of single […]

Logsdon, David Porubsky, Benedict Paten, Kelley Harris, PingHsun Hsieh and Evan […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Pengcheng Zhang, David Rumschitzki and Robert H Edwards | Summary: During exocytosis, the fusion of secretory vesicle with plasma membrane forms a pore that regulates release of neurotransmitter and peptide. Heterogeneity of fusion pore behavior has been attributed to stochastic variation in a common exocytic mechanism, implying a lack […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daphna Shohamy | Authors: Jonathan Nicholas, Nathaniel Douglass Daw and Daphna Shohamy | Summary: A key question in decision making is how humans arbitrate between competing learning and memory systems to maximize reward. We address this question by probing the balance between the effects, on choice, of incremental trial-and-error learning versus episodic memories […]
Kavli Affiliate: Menno Witter | Authors: Christiana Bjorkli, Nora Cecilie Ebbesen, Joshua B Julian, Menno P Witter, Axel Sandvig and Ioanna Sandvig | Summary: One of the neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, which is preceded by intraneuronal build-up of toxic, aggregated Aβ during disease progression. Aβ plaques […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ann McDermott | Authors: Ann E McDermott and Eric G Keeler | Summary: Magic angle spinning NMR rotating frame relaxation measurements provide a powerful experimental strategy to probe biomolecules dynamics, as is illustrated by numerous recent applications. We discuss experimental strategies for this class of experiments, with a particular focus on systems where […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jean Laurent Casanova | Authors: Gaspard Kerner, Anna-Lena Neehus, Laurent Abel, Jean-Laurent Casanova, Etienne Patin, Guillaume Laval and Lluis Quintana-Murci | Summary: Ancient genomics can directly detect human genetic adaptation to environmental cues. However, it remains unclear how pathogens have exerted selective pressures on human genome diversity across different epochs and affected present-day […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dwight Bergles | Authors: Calvin J Kersbergen, Travis A Babola, Jason Rock and Dwight E Bergles | Summary: Neurons that process sensory information exhibit bursts of electrical activity during development, providing early training to circuits that will later encode similar features of the external world. In the mammalian auditory system, this intrinsically generated […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erich Jarvis | Authors: Gregory L Gedman, Matthew T Biegler, Bettina Haase, Morgan Wirthlin, Olivier Fedrigo, Andreas R Pfenning and Erich D Jarvis | Summary: Vocal learning is a skilled motor behavior observed in several mammalian and avian species and is critical for human speech. While convergent gene expression patterns have highlighted similar […]
