Substructure and maturation of lamina-associated domains in neurons of the developing and adult human brain

Kavli Affiliate: Arnold R. Kriegstein | Authors: Chujing Zhang, Eugene Gil, Sajad Hamid Ahanger, Mingcong Li, Li Wang, Eric J. Huang, Jingjing Li, Arnold R. Kriegstein and Daniel A. Lim | Summary: Approximately 30-40% of the human genome is anchored to the nuclear lamina (NL) through variably sized (10 kb-10 Mb) lamina-associated domains (LADs), which […]

Fentanyl reinforcement history has sex-specific effects on multi-step decision-making

Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Janak | Authors: Eric Garr, Yifeng Cheng, Andy Dong and Patricia H. Janak | Summary: It is commonly thought that drug addiction involves a transition to habitual control of action, where the choice to consume drugs becomes automatized and reflects a failure to deliberate over possible negative outcomes. Determining whether the pursuit […]

Common and distinct neural correlates of social interaction perception and theory of mind

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Lindquist | Authors: Zizhuang Miao, Heejung Jung, Philip A. Kragel, Ke Bo, Patrick Sadil, Martin A. Lindquist and Tor D. Wager | Summary: Social interaction perception and theory of mind (ToM) frequently co-occur, but their commonalities and distinctions at behavioral and neural levels remain unclear. Participants (N = 231) provided moment-by-moment ratings […]

From Morphology to Computation: How Synaptic Organization Shapes Place Fields in CA1 Pyramidal Neurons

Kavli Affiliate: Attila Losonczy | Authors: Simone Tasciotti, Daniel Maxim Iascone, Spyridon Chavlis, Luke Hammond, Yardena Katz, Attila Losonczy, Franck Polleaux and Panayiota Poirazi | Summary: The synaptic mechanisms driving feature selectivity in specific neuron types remains a fundamental and unresolved challenge in neuroscience. In hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons (PNs), the development of place selectivity, […]

Rapid rebalancing of co-tuned ensemble activity in the auditory cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: HiJee Kang, Travis Babola and Patrick O Kanold | Summary: Sensory information is represented by small neuronal ensembles in sensory cortices. Neuronal activity shows high trial-by-trial variability in that repeated presentation of the same stimulus, e. g., multiple presentations of the same sound activate differing ensembles in the auditory […]

Deep Learning Improves Parameter Estimation in Reinforcement Learning Models

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Hua-Dong Xiong, Li Ji-An, Marcelo G Mattar and Robert C Wilson | Summary: Cognitive modeling provides a formal method to articulate and test hypotheses about cognitive processes. However, accurately and reliably estimating model parameters remains challenging due to common issues in behavioral science, such as limited data, measurement noise, […]

Age-related Increase in Locus Coeruleus Activity and Connectivity with Prefrontal Cortex during Ambiguity Processing

Kavli Affiliate: Maryam Ziaei | Authors: Arjun Dave, Shuer Ye, Leona R Batz, Xiaqing Lan, Heidi Jacobs and Maryam Ziaei | Summary: Interpreting ambiguous environmental cues, like facial expressions, becomes increasingly challenging with age, especially as cognitive resources decline. Managing these challenges requires adaptive neural mechanisms that are essential for maintaining mental well-being. The locus […]
