Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Ting Qi, Maria Luisa Mandelli, Christa L. Watson Pereira, Emma Wellman, Rian Bogley, Abigail E. Licata, Edward F. Chang, Yulia Oganian and Maria Luisa Gorno-Tempini | Summary: Developmental dyslexia (DD) is typically associated with difficulties in manipulating speech sounds and, sometimes, in basic auditory processing. However, the neuroanatomical correlates […]

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Callaway | Authors: Shu-Jing Li, Balazs Hangya, Unmukt Gupta, Kyle B. Fischer, James Fitzhugh Sturgill, Edward M. Callaway and Adam Kepe | Summary: Sustained attention, as an essential cognitive faculty governing selective sensory processing, exhibits remarkable temporal fluctuations. However, the underlying neural circuits and computational mechanisms driving moment-to-moment attention fluctuations remain elusive. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Byungjin Lee, Fanny Sunden, Michael Miller, Bumshik Pak, Anke Krebber, Stefan Lutz and Polly M Fordyce | Summary: Engineered enzymes with enhanced or novel functions are specific catalysts with wide-ranging applications in industry and medicine. Here, we introduce Droplet Array Microfluidic Enzyme Kinetics (DA-MEK), a high-throughput enzyme screening platform […]
Kavli Affiliate: Keri Martinowich | Authors: Genevieve E Craig, Lizbeth Ramos, Samuel R Essig, Nicholas J Eagles, Andrew E Jaffe, Keri Martinowich and Henry L Hallock | Summary: Deficits in attention are common across a range of neuropsychiatric disorders. A multitude of brain regions, including the frontal cortex (FC) and locus coeruleus (LC), have been […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mounya Elhilali | Authors: Bernhard Englitz, Sahar Akram, Mounya Elhilali and Shihab Shamma | Summary: SPerception can be highly dependent on stimulus context, but whether and how sensory areas encode the context remains uncertain. We used an ambiguous auditory stimulus – a tritone pair – to investigate the neural activity associated with a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Solomon Snyder | Authors: Robin Roychaudhuri, Timothy West, Soumyaroop Bhattacharya, Harry Saavedra, Lauren Albacarys, Moataz M Gadalla, Leon Mario Amzel, Peixin Yang and Solomon H. Snyder | Summary: D-amino acids are being recognized in mammals as important molecules with function. This is a first identification of endogenous D-cysteine in mammalian pancreas. D-cysteine is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Thomas M Bartol, Mariam Ordyan, Terrence J Sejnowski, Padmini Rangamani and Mary B Kennedy | Summary: Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a biochemical process in excitatory glutamatergic synapses in the Central Nervous System (CNS). It is initiated by a bout of synaptic activation that is strong enough to contribute to […]
