Temporal and Spatial Scales of Human Resting-state Cortical Activity Across the Lifespan

Posted by dbos July 29, 2025August 11, 2025Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Susanna R Grigson, George Bouras, Bhavya Papudeshi, Vijini Mallawaarachchi, Michael J Roach, Przemyslaw Decewicz and Robert A Edwards | Summary: Sensorimotor and cognitive abilities undergo substantial changes throughout the human lifespan, but the corresponding changes in the functional properties of cortical networks remain poorly understood. This can be studied […]

Synteny-aware functional annotation of bacteriophage genomes with Phynteny

Posted by dbos July 28, 2025August 11, 2025UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Susanna R Grigson, George Bouras, Bhavya Papudeshi, Vijini Mallawaarachchi, Michael J Roach, Przemyslaw Decewicz and Robert A Edwards | Summary: Accurate genome annotation is fundamental to decoding viral diversity and understanding bacteriophage biology; yet, the majority of bacteriophage genes remain functionally uncharacterised. Bacteriophage genomes often exhibit conserved gene order, […]

Mosquito sex under lock and key

Posted by dbos July 27, 2025August 4, 2025Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Leslie B. Vosshall | Authors: Leah Houri-Zeevi, Madison M. Walker, Jacopo Razzauti, Anurag Sharma, H. Amalia Pasolli and Leslie B. Vosshall | Summary: Female mosquitoes typically mate once in a lifetime, making this singular mating decision critically important for the female. Yet, mosquito mating has been historically viewed as male-guided, with the female […]

Continuous partitioning of neuronal variability

Posted by dbos July 27, 2025August 4, 2025Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Adam S. Charles | Authors: Anuththara Rupasinghe, Adam S Charles and Jonathan W Pillow | Summary: Neural variability poses a major challenge to understanding the information content of neural codes. Recent work by Goris et al. (Nat. Neurosci 2014) has provided new insights into variability in the visual pathway by partitioning it into […]

Axonal defasciculation is restricted to specific branching points during regeneration of the lateral line nerve in zebrafish

Posted by dbos July 25, 2025August 4, 2025Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: A. James Hudspeth | Authors: Rohan S Roy and A. J. Hudspeth | Summary: Peripheral nerve regeneration requires precise selection of the appropriate targets of innervation, often in an environment that differs from that during the developmental wiring of the neural circuit. Severed axons of the zebrafish posterior lateral line nerve have the […]

Dopamine release effects on striatal blood oxygenation and whole brain plasticity underlying associative learning

Posted by dbos July 24, 2025August 4, 2025Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Darcy Peterka | Authors: Amir Lawen, Isabella K Succi, Daniela Lichtman, Darcy S Peterka, Ishmail J Abdus-Saboor and Itamar Kahn | Summary: Dopaminergic signaling in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is central to reward-based learning, but its relationship to brain-wide hemodynamics remains unclear. Using concurrent fMRI and dopamine photometry in awake, behaving mice, we […]
