Robust reprogramming of glia into neurons by inhibition of Notch signaling and NFI factors in adult mammalian retina.

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Nguyet Le, Trieu-Duc Vu, Isabella Palazzo, Ritvik Pulya, Yehna Kim, Seth Blackshaw and Thanh Hoang | Summary: Neurogenic competence is actively repressed in mature mammalian Muller glial cells, and previous studies have predicted that this is in part mediated by active Notch signaling. To determine whether global loss of […]

Simultaneous multi-transient linear-combination modeling of MRS data improves uncertainty estimation

Kavli Affiliate: Jeremias Sulam | Authors: Helge J Zollner, Christopher B. Davies-Jenkins, Dunja B. Simicic, Assaf Tal, Jeremias Sulam and Georg Oeltzschner | Summary: Purpose: The interest in application and modeling of dynamic MRS has recently grown. Therefore, it is imperative to systematically investigate accuracy, precision, and uncertainty estimation of 2D modeling algorithms. 2D modeling […]

Association cortical areas in the mouse contain a large population of fast-spiking GABAergic neurons that do not express parvalbumin

Kavli Affiliate: Menno Witter and Maximiliano Jose Nigro | Authors: Erik J Courcelles, Kasper Kjelsberg, Laura Convertino, Rajeevkumar Raveendran Nair, Menno P Witter and Maximiliano J Nigro | Summary: GABAergic neurons represent 10-15% of the neuronal population of the cortex but exert a powerful control over information flow in cortical circuits. The largest GABAergic class […]

A geometrical model of cell fate specification in the mouse blastocyst

Kavli Affiliate: Eric D. Siggia | Authors: Archishman Raju and Eric Siggia | Summary: The lineage decision that generates the epiblast and primitive endoderm from the inner cell mass (ICM) is a paradigm for cell fate specification. Recent mathematics has formalized Waddington’s landscape metaphor and proven that lineage decisions in detailed gene network models must […]

Neural signatures of stress susceptibility and resilience in the amygdala-hippocampal network

Kavli Affiliate: Stefano Fusi & Mazen Kheirbek | Authors: Frances Xia, Valeria Fascianelli, Nina Vishwakarma, Frances Grace Ghinger, Stefano Fusi and Mazen Kheirbek | Summary: The neural dynamics that underlie divergent anhedonic responses to stress remain unclear. Here, we identified neuronal dynamics in an amygdala-hippocampal circuit that distinguish stress resilience and susceptibility. In a reward-choice […]

Host–pathogen–vector continuum in a changing landscape: Drivers of Bartonella prevalence and evidence of historic spillover in a multi–host community

Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: B.R. Ansil, Ashwin Viswanathan, Vivek Ramachandran, H.M. Yeshwanth, Avirup Sanyal and Uma Ramakrishnan | Summary: Small mammals and their ectoparasites present a unique system to investigate the eco-epidemiology of multi-host vector-borne pathogens and identify specific bacterial spillover determinants. We applied ecological and evolutionary analyses in a rainforest-human-use mosaic […]
