Cohesin erases genomic-proximity biases to drive stochastic Protocadherin expression for proper neural wiring

Kavli Affiliate: Daniele Canzio | Authors: Lea Kiefer, Gabrielle Isabelle F. Servito, Sandy M Rajkumar, Jennifer Langen, Anna Chiosso, Alexander Buckley, Elizabeth S. Cha, Adan Horta, Michael H Mui and Daniele Canzio | Summary: Clustered Protocadherin (Pcdh) proteins act as cell-surface recognition barcodes for neural circuit formation. Neurites expressing the same barcode repel each other, […]

Not optimal, just noisy: the geometry of correlated variability leads to highly suboptimal sensory coding

Kavli Affiliate: Kristofer Bouchard | Authors: Jesse A Livezey, Pratik Singh Sachdeva, Maximilian E Dougherty, Mathew T Summers and Kristofer E Bouchard | Summary: The brain represents the world through the activity of neural populations. Correlated variability across simultaneously recorded neurons (noise correlations) has been observed across cortical areas and experimental paradigms. Many studies have […]

In situ architecture of the lipid transport protein VPS13C at ER-lysosomes membrane contacts

Kavli Affiliate: Pietro DeCamilli | Authors: Shujun Cai, Yumei Wu, Andres Guillen-Samander, William F Hancock-Cerutti, Jun Liu and Pietro De Camilli | Summary: VPS13 is a eukaryotic lipid transport protein localized at membrane contact sites. Previous studies suggested that it may transfer lipids between adjacent bilayers by a bridge-like mechanism. Direct evidence for this hypothesis […]

Sub-harmonic Entrainment of Cortical Gamma Oscillations to Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson’s Disease: Predictions and Validation of a Patient-Specific Non-Linear Model

Kavli Affiliate: Philip Starr | Authors: James J. Sermon, Maria Olaru, Juan Anso, Simon Little, Rafal Bogacz, Philip A. Starr, Timothy Denison and Benoit Duchet | Summary: Background Entrainment of brain oscillations has been hypothesised as a potential mechanism of neuromodulation. While neuromodulation has been shown to be an effective therapy for a variety of […]
