Kavli Affiliate: Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser | Authors: Abraham Z. Vollan, Richard J. Gardner, May-Britt Moser and Edvard I. Moser | Summary: Place cells in the hippocampus and grid cells in the entorhinal cortex are elements of a neural map of self- position. To benefit navigation, this representation must be dynamically related to surrounding […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristina Nielsen Loyal Goff | Authors: Soraia Barao, Yijun Xu, Rachel Vistein, Loyal Goff, Kristina Nielsen, Byoung-Il Bae, Richard S. Smith, Christopher A Walsh, Genevieve Stein O Brien and Ulrich Muller | Summary: The mammalian neocortex differs vastly in size and complexity between mammalian species, yet the mechanisms that lead to an increase […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani | Authors: Kathleen T Quach, Gillian A Hughes and Sreekanth H Chalasani | Summary: Prey must balance the need to avoid predators with the need to feed, a dilemma central to prey refuge theory. Additionally, prey must also assess predatory imminence, or how close predator threats are in space and time. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jean Fan | Authors: Jude Marvin Phillip, Pratik Kamat, Nico Macaluso, Chanhong Min, Yukang Li, Anshika Agrawal, Aaron Winston, Lauren Pan, Bartholomew Marvin Starich, Teasia Stewert, Pei-Hsun Wu, Jean Fan and Jeremy Walston | Summary: Cellular senescence is an established driver of aging, exhibiting context-dependent phenotypes across multiple biological length-scales. Despite its mechanistic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jin Kang | Authors: Alexandra Nelson and Anatol Kreitzer | Summary: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the death of substantia nigra (SNc) dopamine (DA) neurons, but the pathophysiological mechanisms that precede and drive their death remain unknown. The activity of DA neurons is likely altered in PD, but we understand little about […]
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: 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 […]
