Kavli Affiliate: Michael Keiser | Authors: Leo Gendelev, Jack Taylor, Douglas Myers-Turnbull, Steven Chen, Matthew N. McCarroll, Michelle R. Arkin, David Kokel and Michael J. Keiser | Summary: Behavioral larval zebrafish screens leverage a high-throughput small molecule discovery format to find neuroactive molecules relevant to mammalian physiology. We screened a library of 650 central nervous […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Xize Xu, Mitchell P Morton, Nyomi Hudson, Anirvan Nandy and Monika P. Jadi | Summary: Our visual experience is a result of the concerted activity of neuronal ensembles in the sensory hierarchy. Yet how the spatial organization of objects influences neural activity in this hierarchy remains poorly understood. We […]

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Junhui Peng, Nicolas Svetec, Henrik Molina and Li Zhao | Summary: Post-mating responses play a vital role in successful reproduction across diverse species. In fruit flies, sex peptide (SP) binds to sex peptide receptor (SPR), triggering a series of post-mating responses. However, the origin of SPR predates the emergence […]
Kavli Affiliate: Reza Shadmehr | Authors: Alden Shoup, Natasha Porwal, Mohammad Amin Fakharian, Paul Hage, Simon P Orozco and Reza Shadmehr | Summary: Electrophysiological recording with a new probe often yields better signal quality than with a used probe. Why does the signal quality degrade after only a few experiments? Here, we considered silicon probes […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexandra Nelson | Authors: Xiaowen Zhuang, Julia Lemak, Sadhana Sridhar and Alexandra B Nelson | Summary: Healthy action selection relies on the coordinated activity of striatal direct and indirect pathway neurons. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), in which loss of midbrain dopamine neurons is associated with progressive motor and cognitive deficits, this coordination is […]
