Heterogeneous responses to embryonic critical period perturbations among different components of the Drosophila larval locomotor circuit

Posted by dbos Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Niklas Krick, Jacob Davies, Bramwell Coulson, Daniel Sobrido-Camean, Michael Miller, Matthew C.W. Oswald, Aref Arzan Zarin, Richard Baines and Matthias Landgraf | Summary: As developing neural circuits become functional, they undergo a phase of heightened plasticity in response to intrinsic and/or extrinsic stimuli. These developmental windows are termed critical […]

Purkinje cells in Crus I and II encode the visual stimulus and the impending choice as monkeys learn a reinforcement based visuomotor association task

Posted by dbos Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Stefano Fusi and Michael Goldberg | Authors: Anna Ipata, Valeria Fascianelli, Chris I De Zeeuw, Naveen Sendhilnathan, Stefano Fusi and Michael E. Goldberg | Summary: Visuomotor association involves linking an arbitrary visual cue to a well-learned movement. Transient inactivation of Crus I/II impairs primates’ ability to learn new associations and delays motor responses […]

Cholinergic feedback for context-specific modulation of sensory representations

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Takaki Komiyama | Authors: Bin Yu, Yuxuan Yue, Chi Ren, Rui Yun, Byungkook Lim and Takaki Komiyama | Summary: The brain’s ability to prioritize behaviorally relevant sensory information is crucial for adaptive behavior, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigated the role of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons in modulating olfactory bulb […]

Brain state and cortical layer-specific mechanisms underlying perception at threshold

Posted by klaurent UCSD / Salk, Yale

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy, John Reynolds | Authors: Mitchell P Morton, Sachira Denagamage, Isabel J Blume, John H Reynolds, Monika P Jadi and Anirvan S Nandy | Summary: Identical stimuli can be perceived or go unnoticed across successive presentations, producing divergent behavioral outcomes despite similarities in sensory input. We sought to understand how fluctuations in […]

Multiple and subject-specific roles of uncertainty in reward-guided decision-making

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Angela Yu | Authors: Alexander Paunov, Maëva L’Hôtellier, Zoe He, Dalin Guo, Angela Yu and Florent Meyniel | Summary: Decision-making in noisy, changing, and partially observable environments entails a basic tradeoff between immediate reward and longer-term information gain, known as the exploration-exploitation dilemma. Computationally, an effective way to balance this tradeoff is by […]
