Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Leah J Elias, Harrison Khoo, Francois Kroll, Caroline Zhang, Soojung C Hur, Jason Rihel and Seth Blackshaw | Summary: While sleep deprivation broadly disrupts health and well-being, the neural and molecular mechanisms that signal increased sleep pressure remain poorly understood. A key obstacle to progress is the fact that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Damon Clark | Authors: Samuel Brudner, Baohua Zhou, Viraaj Jayaram, Gustavo Madeira Santana, Damon Clark and Thierry Emonet | Summary: Odor cues guide animals to food and mates. Different environmental conditions can create differently patterned odor plumes, making navigation more challenging. Prior work has shown that animals turn upwind when they detect odor […]
Kavli Affiliate: Denis Wirtz | Authors: pei-hsun wu, Denis Wirtz, Tiffany Chu, yeongseo lim and Yufei Sun | Summary: Cell migration plays a key role in normal developmental programs and in disease, including immune responses, tissue repair, and metastasis. Unlike other cell functions, such as proliferation which can be studied using high-throughput assays, cell migration […]
Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Kate Maximov and Patrick O. Kanold | Summary: Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, is caused by changes in both the peripheral and the central auditory system. Many of the peripheral structures that degrade with age have been identified and characterized, but there is still a dearth of information pertaining […]
Kavli Affiliate: Denis Wirtz | Authors: pei-hsun wu, Denis Wirtz, Tiffany Chu, yeongseo lim and Yufei Sun | Summary: The accuracy of spatial gene expression profiles generated by probe-based in situ spatially-resolved transcriptomic technologies depends on the specificity with which probes bind to their intended target gene. Off-target binding, defined as a probe binding to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Bender | Authors: Joshua D Garcia, Chenyu Wang, Ryan Alexander, Emmie Banks, Timothy Fenton, Jean-Marc DeKeyser, Tatiana V Abramova, Alfred L George, Roy Ben-Shalom, David H Hackos and Kevin J Bender | Summary: Mature neocortical pyramidal cells functionally express two sodium channel (NaV) isoforms: NaV1.2 and NaV1.6. These isoforms are differentially localized […]
Kavli Affiliate: Attila Losonczy | Authors: Stephanie A Herrlinger, Jiayao Wang, Bovey Y Rao, Jonathan Chang, Joseph Gogos, Attila Losonczy and Dennis Vitkup | Summary: Neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) share genetic risk factors, including rare high penetrance single nucleotide variants and copy number variants (CNVs), and exhibit both […]

Kavli Affiliate: Daeyeol Lee | Authors: John Bero IV, Colin Humphries, Yang Li, Aviral Kumar, Heungyeol Lee, Maxwell Shinn, John D. Murray, Timothy Vickery and Daeyeol Lee | Summary: Sensorimotor and cognitive abilities undergo substantial changes throughout the human lifespan, but the corresponding changes in the functional properties of cortical networks remain poorly understood. This […]
