Kavli Affiliate: Franck Polleux Attila Losonczy | Authors: Justin K. O’Hare, Jamie Wang, Margjele D. Shala, Franck Polleux and Attila Losonczy | Summary: Hippocampal pyramidal neurons support episodic memory by integrating complementary information streams into new ‘place fields’. Distal tuft dendrites are thought to initiate place field formation via plateau potentials. However, the hitherto experimental […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Serences | Authors: Anna Shafer-Skelton, Timothy F Brady and John T Serences | Summary: Understanding 3D representations of spatial information, particularly in naturalistic scenes, remains a significant challenge in vision science. This is largely because of conceptual difficulties in disentangling higher-level 3D information from co-occurring features and cues (e.g., the 3D shape […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiaoqin Wang | Authors: Chaoqun Cheng, Zijian Huang, Ruiming Zhang, Guozheng Huang, Han Wang, Likai Tang and Xiaoqin Wang | Summary: The common marmoset has become an important experimental animal model in scientific research. The ability to capture and quantify behaviors of marmosets in natural environment and social scenarios is highly desired by […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Xize Xu, Mitchell P Morton, Nyomi Hudson, Anirvan Nandy and Monika P. Jadi | Summary: Our visual experience is a result of the concerted activity of neuronal ensembles in the sensory hierarchy. Yet how the spatial organization of objects influences neural activity in this hierarchy remains poorly understood. We […]
