Kavli Affiliate: Yuh Nung and Jan Yifan Cheng and Yuh Nung Jan | Authors: Yukun Wang, Peng Jin, Avinash Kumar, Lily Jan, Yifan Cheng, Yuh-Nung Jan and Yongli Zhang | Summary: TCytoskeleton-tethered mechanosensitive channels (MSCs) utilize compliant proteins or protein domains called gating springs to convert mechanical stimuli into electric signals, enabling sound and touch […]
Kavli Affiliate: Devanand Manoli | Authors: Kimberly Lorraine Page Long, Nerissa Emmy Graetz Hoglen, Alex J. Keip, Robert M. Klinkel, Déjenaé L. See, Joseph Maa, Jenna C. Wong, Michael Sherman and Devanand Manoli | Summary: The formation of enduring relationships dramatically influences future behavior, promoting affiliation between familiar individuals. How such attachments are encoded to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Flora Vaccarino | Authors: Yeongjun Jang, Livia Tomasini, Taejeong Bae, Anna Szekely, Flora M. Vaccarino and Alexej Abyzov | Summary: Little is known about the origin of germ cells in humans. We previously leveraged post-zygotic mutations to reconstruct zygote-rooted cell lineage ancestry trees in a phenotypically normal woman, termed NC0. Here, by sequencing […]

Kavli Affiliate: Shreesh P. Mysore | Authors: Ninad B Kothari, Wen-Kai You, Arunima Banerjee, Qingcheng Zhang and Shreesh P Mysore | Summary: Animal behavior at any instant is guided by information from only a subset of the plethora of stimuli in their sensory environments. The neural circuit mechanisms that select a behaviorally relevant ‘target’ from […]

Kavli Affiliate: Su Guo | Authors: Xiang Zhao, Wang Yiqi, Ahmet Can Solak, Jason Garcia, Vincent Mouilleau, Xingye Chen, Christopher J Wilkinson, Loic Alain Royer, Zhiqiang Alain Dong and Su Guo | Summary: Vertebrate radial glia progenitors (RGPs), the principal neural stem cells, balance self-renewal and differentiation through asymmetric cell division (ACD), during which unequal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser | Authors: Benjamin R Kanter, Christine M Lykken, May-Britt Moser and Edvard I. Moser | Summary: Our experience of the world is a continuous stream of events which must be segmented and organized simultaneously at multiple timescales. The neural mechanisms underlying this process remain unknown. Here, we simultaneously […]
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 […]
