Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Vikram Pal Singh, Jingwen Li, Jude Mitchell and Cory Miller | Summary: Our understanding of how vision functions as primates actively navigate the real-world is remarkably sparse. As most data have been limited to chaired and typically head-restrained animals, the synergistic interactions of different motor actions/plans inherent to active […]
Kavli Affiliate: Timothy Brown | Authors: Fadi Jradi, Brian P English, Timothy A Brown, Jesse Arron, Satya Khuon, James A Galbraith, Catherine G Galbraith and Luke D Lavis | Summary: Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) uses activatable or switchable fluorophores to create non-diffraction limited maps of molecular location in biological samples. Despite the utility of this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Flora Vaccarino | Authors: Yifan Wang, Liana Fasching, Feinan Wu, Anita Huttner, Sabina Berretta, Rosalinda Roberts, James F. Leckman, Alexej Abyzov and Flora M. Vaccarino | Summary: Tourette syndrome (TS) is a disorder of high-order integration of sensory, motor, and cognitive functions afflicting as many as 1 in 150 children and characterized by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Min | Authors: Sushmitha Sriramulu, Shivani Thoidingjam, Wei-Min Chen, Oudai Hassan, Farzan Siddiqui, Stephen L Brown, Benjamin Movsas, Michael D Green, Anthony J Davis, Corey Speers, Eleanor Walker and Shyam Nyati | Summary: Background Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive form of breast cancer subtype often treated with radiotherapy (RT). […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anders Dale | Authors: Diana M. Smith, Pravesh Parekh, Joseph Kennedy, Robert J. Loughnan, Oleksandr Frei, Thomas E. Nichols, Ole A. Andreassen, Terry L. Jernigan and Anders M. Dale | Summary: The relative contributions of genetic variation and experience in shaping the morphology of the adolescent brain are not fully understood. Using longitudinal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Menno Witter | Authors: Daniel Reznik, Piotr Majka, Marcello GP Rosa, Menno P Witter and Christian F Doeller; | Summary: Throughout mammalian evolution, the hippocampal region, unlike the neocortex, largely preserved its cytoarchitectural organization and its role in mnemonic functions. This contrast raises the possibility that the hippocampal region receives different types of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kay Tye | Authors: Alexander Lin, Cyril Akafia, Olga Dal Monte, Siqi Fan, Nicholas Fagan, Philip Putnam, Kay M. Tye, Steve Chang, Demba Ba and AZA Stephen Allsop; | Summary: In neuroscience, understanding how single-neuron firing contributes to distributed neural ensembles is crucial. Traditional methods of analysis have been limited to descriptions of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: Ziao Fu and Roderick MacKinnon; | Summary: In this study we used cryo-electron microscopy to determine the structures of the Flotillin protein complex, part of the Stomatin, Prohibitin, Flotillin, and HflK/C (SPFH) superfamily, from cell-derived vesicles without detergents. It forms a right-handed helical barrel consisting of 22 pairs of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Vogelstein | Authors: Jaewon Chung, Eric W Bridgeford, Michael Powell, Derek Pisner, Ting Xu and Joshua T Vogelstein; | Summary: A complete understanding of human behavior and disease depends upon our ability to parse genetic and environmental influences in the human brain. The heritability of a trait quantifies the degree of its […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Berke | Authors: Mariana Duhne, Ali Mohebi, Kyoungjun Kim, Lilian Pelattini and Joshua D. Berke; | Summary: Movement, motivation and reward-related learning depend strongly on striatal dopamine and acetylcholine. These neuromodulators each regulate the other, and disturbances to their coordinated signals contribute to human disorders ranging from Parkinson’s Disease to depression and […]
