Kavli Affiliate: Kristina Nielsen | Authors: Dallas C Khamiss, Augusto A Lempel, Brandon R Nanfito and Kristina Juliane Nielsen | Summary: A fundamental aspect of visual motion processing is the computation of motion direction. In ferrets, as in primates, selectivity for motion direction is found both in early cortical stages like the primary visual cortex […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marina Picciotto | Authors: WenLiang Zhou, Hanna Yousuf, Yann S Mineur and Marina Picciotto | Summary: Activity of the mesolimbic system is essential for adaptive performance of reward-related behaviors. Within this system, dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons play a critical role in driving motivation to obtain rewards and encoding predictions and error signals during reinforcement […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jean Fan | Authors: Caleb Hallinan, Calixto-Hope G Lucas, Jr. and Jean Fan | Summary: Abstract Spatial transcriptomics technologies enable high-throughput quantification of gene expression at specific locations across tissue sections, facilitating insights into the spatial organization of biological processes. However, high costs associated with these technologies have motivated the development of deep […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jonathan Whitlock | Authors: Pearl Saldanha, Martin Bjerke, Benjamin Adric Dunn and Jonathan Robert Whitlock | Summary: Spatial navigation is commonly studied in static environments, but adaptive behavior frequently hinges on tracking moving goals in real time. Active pursuit exemplifies this challenge, since it is an inherently egocentric spatial behavior requiring continual localization […]
Kavli Affiliate: Maryam Ziaei | Authors: Arjun Dave, Shuer Ye, Xiaqing Lan, Alireza Salami, Heidi Jacobs and Maryam Ziaei | Summary: The locus coeruleus (LC) regulates attention, arousal and adaptive behavior via widespread noradrenergic projections to cortex, yet its large-scale cortical organization and vulnerability to aging remain poorly understood. Using ultra-high-field 7T–MRI during naturalistic viewing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Maryam Ziaei and Menno Witter | Authors: Shuer Ye, Arjun Dave, Xiaqing Lan, Menno P. Witter, Alireza Salami and Maryam Ziaei | Summary: Amygdala-related functional connectivity plays a crucial role in human emotion, cognition, and mental well-being. The amygdala is a highly heterogeneous structure, with subregions that have both distinct and overlapping functions. […]

Hammand, Christoph Wirblich, Bosiljka Tasic, Vilas Menon, Joaquim Alves da Silva and Rui M. Costa | Summary: In Parkinson′s disease (PD), dopaminergic neurons (DANs) in the midbrain gradually degenerate, with ventral substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) […]
