Kavli Affiliate: David Linden | Authors: Ruben Andreas Bressler, Assunta Ciarlo, Sophie Raible, Giancarlo Valente, Michael Lührs, Ralph Tier, David E Linden and Rainer Goebel | Summary: Multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) is a powerful technique to decode brain states from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activity patterns. In neurofeedback (NF) applications, it has been used […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Junhui Peng, Bing-Jun Wang, Nicolas Svetec and Li Zhao | Summary: The regulation of gene expression is crucial for the functional integration of evolutionarily young genes, particularly those that emerge de novo. However, the regulatory programs governing the expression of de novo genes remain unknown. To address this, we […]
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 that underlies learning in excitatory glutamatergic synapses in the Central Nervous System (CNS). The critical early driver of LTP is autophosphorylation of the abundant postsynaptic enzyme, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: Venkata Shiva Mandala and Roderick MacKinnon | Summary: Gating in voltage-dependent ion channels is regulated by the transmembrane voltage. This form of regulation is enabled by voltage sensing domains (VSDs) that respond to transmembrane voltage differences by changing their conformation and exerting force on the pore to open or […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Luciano Dyballa, Greg D Field, Michael P Stryker and Steven W Zucker | Summary: A challenge in sensory neuroscience is understanding how populations of neurons operate in concert to represent diverse stimuli. To meet this challenge, we have created “encoding manifolds” that reveal the overall responses of brain areas […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea Hasenstaub | Authors: Timothy R Olsen and Andrea R Hasenstaub | Summary: Recent work has claimed that most apparently cross-modal responses in sensory cortex are instead caused by the face movements evoked by stimuli of the non-dominant modality. We show that visual stimuli rarely trigger face movements in awake mice; when they […]
