Kavli Affiliate: Larry Abbott | Authors: Ching Fang, Dmitriy Aronov, Larry F Abbott and Emily Mackevicius | Summary: The predictive nature of the hippocampus is thought to be useful for memory-guided cognitive behaviors. Inspired by the reinforcement learning literature, this notion has been formalized as a predictive map called the successor representation (SR). The SR […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrea Chiba | Authors: Eric J Leonardis, Leo Breston, Rhiannon Lucero-Moore, Leigh Sena, Raunit Kohli, Luisa Schuster, Lacha Barton-Gluzman, Laleh K Quinn, Janet Wiles and Andrea Chiba | Summary: Interactive neurorobotics is a subfield which characterizes brain responses evoked during interaction with a robot, and their relationship with the behavioral responses. Gathering rich […]
Kavli Affiliate: Karen Christman | Authors: mma I Zelus, Aaron Panduro, Marianna Alperin, Andrew M Vahabzadeh-Hagh and Karen L Christman | Summary: Background: While head and neck cancer treatment regimens, including surgical resection, irradiation, and chemotherapy, are effective at removing tumors, they lead to muscle atrophy, denervation, and fibrosis, contributing to the pathogenesis of tongue […]

Kavli Affiliate: Solomon Snyder | Authors: Robin Roychaudhuri, Moataz M Gadalla, Lauren Albacarys, Timothy West, Harry Saavedra, Leon Mario Amzel and Solomon H. Snyder | Summary: Endogenous D-stereoisomers are being recognized as functionally important molecules in mammals. Here we report the first identification of endogenous D-cysteine in mammalian pancreas. Serine Racemase (SR) is the biosynthetic […]

Dinsdale, Robert Edwards and Scott Allyn Handley | Summary: The CRISPR-Cas9 system has enabled researchers to precisely modify/edit the sequence of a genome. A typical editing experiment consists of two steps: (i) editing cultured […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Michael J. Roach, Sarah Beecroft, Kathie Mihindukulasuriya, Leran Wang, Lais Farias Oliveira Lima, Elizabeth A. Dinsdale, Robert Edwards and Scott Allyn Handley | Summary: Analysis of viral diversity using modern nucleic acid sequencing technologies presents several unique challenges. Foremost being that virus detection requires a non-targeted, random (shotgun) approach. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jessica Cardin | Authors: Quentin Perrenoud, Antonio H. de O. Fonseca, Austin Airhart, James Bonanno, Rong Mao and Jessica A Cardin | Summary: Although behaviorally relevant patterns of neocortical activity in specific frequency bands have been broadly characterized, identifying individual underlying network events remains a key challenge in understanding information processing in cortical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kira Poskanzer | Authors: Kira Poskanzer, Trisha V Vaidyanathan, Vincent Tse and Esther M Lim | Summary: Astrocytes perform critical functions in the nervous system, many of which are dependent on neurotransmitter-sensing through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). However, whether specific astrocytic outputs follow specific GPCR activity remains unclear, and exploring this question is […]
