Converging pathways found in copy number variation syndromes with high schizophrenia risk

Kavli Affiliate: David Linden | Authors: Friederike Ehrhart, Ana Silva, Therese Amelsvoort, Emma von Scheibler, Chris Evelo and David E.J. Linden | Summary: Schizophrenia genetics is complex, and the contribution of common and rare variants are not fully understood. Several specific copy number variations (CNVs) confer increased risk for schizophrenia, and the study of their […]

Compression-enabled interpretability of voxel-wise encoding models

Kavli Affiliate: Reza Abbasi-Asl | Authors: Fatemeh Kamali, Amir Abolfazl Suratgar, Mohammadbagher Menhaj and Reza Abbasi-Asl | Summary: Voxel-wise encoding models based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have emerged as state-of-the-art predictive models of brain activity evoked by natural movies. Despite the superior predictive performance of CNN-based models, the huge number of parameters in these […]

Large-scale capture of hidden fluorescent labels for training generalizable markerless motion capture models

Kavli Affiliate: Eiman Azim | Authors: Daniel J Butler, Alexander P Keim, Shantanu Ray and Eiman Azim | Summary: Recent advances in deep learning-based markerless pose estimation have dramatically improved the scale and ease with which body landmarks can be tracked in studies of animal behavior. However, pose estimation for animals in a laboratory setting […]

High-Speed Imaging Reveals the Bimodal Nature of Dense Core Vesicle Exocytosis

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 […]

Uncertainty alters the balance between incremental learning and episodic memory

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 […]
