Separable global and local beta burst dynamics in motor cortex of primates

Posted by dbos UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Karunesh Ganguly | Authors: Preeya Khanna, behraz farrokhi, Hoseok Choi, Sandon Griffin, Ian Heimbuch, Lisa Novik, Katherina Thiesen, John H Morrison, Robert Morecraft and Karunesh Ganguly | Summary: Sensorimotor beta band oscillations are known to modulate during normal movement control and abnormal beta modulation is linked to pathological bradykinesia. However, the functional differences […]

Diverse and Flexible Strategies Enable Successful Cooperation in Marmoset Dyads

Posted by dbos Yale

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Olivia C Meisner, Weikang Shi, Amrita Nair, Gargi Nandy, Monika P Jadi, Anirvan S Nandy and Steve W. C. Chang | Summary: In humans, cooperation relies on advanced social cognition, but the extent to which these mechanisms support cooperation in nonhuman primates remains unclear. To investigate this, we examined […]

Dynamics of auditory word form encoding in human speech cortex

Posted by dbos UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Yizhen Zhang, Matthew K Leonard, Laura Gwilliams, Ilina Bhaya-Grossman and Edward F Chang | Summary: When we hear continuous speech, we perceive it as a series of discrete words, despite the lack of clear boundaries in the acoustic signal. The superior temporal gyrus (STG) encodes phonetic elements like consonants […]

Theory of interaction between untuned modulatory inputs and tuned sensory inputs

Posted by dbos Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Kenneth Miller | Authors: Tuan Nguyen, Agostina Palmigiano and Kenneth D Miller | Summary: How does the brain integrate sensory inputs with non-feature-tuned signals, such as those arising from behavioral state changes or neuromodulation? Here, we show that the dynamics of disordered E/I networks with structured, feature-dependent connectivity can be well characterized by […]

Overexpression of Meis factors in late-stage retinal progenitors yields complex effects on temporal patterning and neurogenesis.

Posted by dbos Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Patrick Leavey, Lizhi Jiang, Nicole Pannullo, Clayton Santiago and Seth Blackshaw | Summary: The vertebrate retina serves as a model for studying neurogenesis and cell fate specification, with retinal progenitor cells following a tightly regulated temporal sequence to generate distinct cell types. Meis1 and Meis2 are transcription factors implicated […]
