Selective Targeting of a Defined Subpopulation of Corticospinal Neurons using a Novel Klhl14-Cre Mouse Line Enables Molecular and Anatomical Investigations through Development into Maturity

Kavli Affiliate: Eiman Azim | Authors: Jake Lustig, Alexander Lammers, Julia Kaiser, Payal Patel, Aidan Raghu, James M. Conner, Phong Nguyen, Eiman Azim and Vibhu Sahni | Summary: The corticospinal tract (CST) facilitates skilled, precise movements, which necessitates that subcerebral projection neurons (SCPN) establish segmentally specific connectivity with brainstem and spinal circuits. Developmental molecular delineation […]

Proactive and reactive construction of memory-based preferences

Kavli Affiliate: Daphna Shohamy | Authors: Jonathan Nicholas, Nathaniel D. Daw and Daphna Shohamy | Summary: We are often faced with decisions we have never encountered before, requiring us to infer possible outcomes before making a choice. Computational theories suggest that one way to make these types of decisions is by accessing and linking related […]

Neural mechanisms underlying the effects of cognitive fatigue on physical effort-based decision-making Michael Dryzer and Vikram S. Chib

Kavli Affiliate: Vikram Chib | Authors: Michael Dryzer and Vikram S. Chib | Summary: Fatigue is a state of exhaustion that influences our willingness to engage in effortful tasks. While both physical and cognitive exertion can cause fatigue, there is a limited understanding of how fatigue in one exertion domain (e.g., cognitive) affects decisions to […]

Rarely categorical, always high-dimensional: how the neural code changes along the cortical hierarchy

Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: Stefano Fusi and Liam Paninski | Summary: The brain is highly structured both at anatomical and functional levels. However, within individual brain areas, neurons often exhibit very diverse and seemingly disorganized responses. A more careful analysis shows that these neurons can sometimes be grouped together into specialized subpopulations (categorical […]

Translatome analysis reveals cellular network in DLK-dependent hippocampal glutamatergic neuron degeneration

Kavli Affiliate: Yishi Jin | Authors: Erin M Ritchie, Siming Zhong, Qianyi Pu, Yunbo Li, Binhai Zheng and Yishi Jin | Summary: The conserved MAP3K12/Dual Leucine Zipper Kinase (DLK) plays versatile roles in neuronal development, axon injury and stress responses, and neurodegeneration, depending on cell-type and cellular contexts. Emerging evidence implicates abnormal DLK signaling in […]
