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 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Stefano Fusi | Authors: W. Jeffrey Johnston and Stefano Fusi | Summary: Humans and other animals demonstrate a remarkable ability to generalize knowledge across distinct contexts and objects during natural behavior. We posit that this ability to generalize arises from a specific representational geometry, that we call abstract and that is referred to […]
