Survey of hippocampal responses to sound in naive mice reveals widespread activation by broadband noise onsets

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea Hasenstaub | Authors: James Bigelow, Toshiaki Suzuki, Yulang Wu, Ying Hu and Andrea R Hasenstaub | Summary: Recent studies suggest some hippocampal (HC) neurons respond to passively presented sounds in naive subjects, but the specificity and prevalence of these responses remain unclear. We used Neuropixels probes to record unit activity in HC […]

D3 dopamine receptors implicate a subtype of medium spiny neuron in the aversive effects of antipsychotic medications

Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Bender | Authors: Elinor Lewis, Jessie Muir, Ling C Li, Julianna Glienke, Sarah Warren Gooding, Kevin Bender, Christina Kim and Jennifer Whistler | Summary: Second generation antipsychotics (SGAs) are widely used clinical tools, yet they often cause negative side effects and take weeks to become effective, leading to poor patient compliance. The […]

Mosquito sex under lock and key

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 […]

ATG2A engages Rab1a and ARFGAP1 positive membranes during autophagosome biogenesis

Kavli Affiliate: Pietro De Camilli | Authors: Devin M Fuller, Yumei Wu, Florian Schueder, Burha Rasool, Shanta Nag, Justin L. Korfhage, Rolando Garcia-Milian, Katerina D Melnyk, Joerg Bewersdorf, Pietro De Camilli and Thomas Melia | Summary: Autophagosomes form from seed membranes that expand through bulk-lipid transport via the bridge-like lipid transporter ATG2. The origins of […]

Hippocampus facilitates reinforcement learning under partial observability

Kavli Affiliate: Rui Costa | Authors: Dabal Pedamonti, Samia Mohinta, Martin Dimitrov, Hugo Malagon-Vina, Stephane Ciocchi and Rui Ponte Costa | Summary: Mastering navigation in environments with limited visibility is crucial for survival. Although the hippocam-pus has been associated with goal-oriented navigation, its role in real-world behaviour remains unclear. To investigate this, we combined deep […]

Vascular endothelial-specific loss of TGF-beta signaling as a model for choroidal neovascularization and central nervous system vascular inflammation

Kavli Affiliate: Jeremy Nathans | Authors: Yanshu Wang, Amir Rattner, Zhongming Li, Philip M Smallwood and Jeremy Nathans | Summary: Cajal-Retzius (CR) cells are glutamatergic neurons that transiently populate the most superficial layer of the isocortex and allocortex during development, serving an essential role during both prenatal and early postnatal brain development. Notably, these cells […]

Differences in Cajal-Retzius cell density and postnatal persistence across cortical areas revealed by a novel intersectional genetic labeling approach

Kavli Affiliate: Giulia Quattrocolo | Authors: Kristian Moan, Robert P Machold and Giulia Quattrocolo | Summary: Cajal-Retzius (CR) cells are glutamatergic neurons that transiently populate the most superficial layer of the isocortex and allocortex during development, serving an essential role during both prenatal and early postnatal brain development. Notably, these cells disappear from most cortical […]
