Kavli Affiliate: Deanna J. Greene | Authors: Aishwarya Rajesh, Nicole A. Seider, Dillan J. Newbold, Babatunde Adeyemo, Scott Marek, Deanna J. Greene, Abraham Z Snyder, Joshua S. Shimony, Timothy O Laumann, Nico U.F. Dosenbach and Evan M. Gordon | Summary: Structural connections (SC) between distant regions of the brain support synchronized function known as functional […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Goldberg | Authors: Michael E. Goldberg, Olivia Rutler, Randy M. Bruno, Jung Man Park, Serena Persaud, Stylianos Kosmidis and Nina Hirano | Summary: Because the retina moves constantly, the retinotopic representation of the visual world is spatially inaccurate and the brain must transform this spatially inaccurate retinal signal to a spatially accurate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Franck Polleux, Attila Losonczy | Authors: Kevin C Gonzalez, Adrian Negrean, Zhenrui Liao, Franck Polleux and Attila Losonczy | Summary: Learning and memory are fundamental to adaptive behavior and cognition. Various forms of synaptic plasticity have been proposed as cellular substrates for the emergence of feature selectivity in neurons underlying episodic memory. However, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Xiaoyin Chen, Stephan Fischer, Mara CP Rue, Aixin Zhang, Didhiti Mukherjee, Patrick O Kanold, Jesse Gillis and Anthony Zador | Summary: The cortex is composed of neuronal types with diverse gene expression that are organized into specialized cortical areas. These areas, each with characteristic cytoarchitecture (Brodmann 1909; Vogt and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael J Higley | Authors: Olivier Dubanet and Michael J. Higley | Summary: The ability of rodents to use visual cues for successful navigation and goal-directed behavior has been long appreciated, although the neural mechanisms supporting sensory representations in navigational circuits are largely unknown. Navigation is fundamentally dependent on the hippocampus and closely […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Stephen R Adams, Mason R Mackey, Ranjan Ramachandra, Thomas J Deerinck, Guillaume A Castillon, Sebastien Phan, Junru Hu, Daniela Boassa, John T Ngo and Mark H Ellisman | Summary: We introduce Fe-TAML, a small molecule-based peroxidase as a versatile new member of the correlated fluorescence and electron microscopy toolkit. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sreeganga Chandra | Authors: Na Wang, Biqing Zhu, Mary Alice Allnutt, Rosalie M Grijalva, Hongyu Zhao and Sreeganga S Chandra | Summary: Synapse maintenance is essential for generating functional circuitry and decrement in this process is a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease. While we are beginning to understand the basis of synapse formation, much […]

Berner, Stephen L. Young and Robert N. Schaeffer | Summary: Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop., CT) is one of the worst weeds threatening temperate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alex Kolodkin | Authors: Jakub Ziak, Joelle Dorskind, Brian Trigg, Sriram Sudarsanam, Randal Hand and Alex L Kolodkin | Summary: Regulation of directed axon guidance and branching during development is essential for the generation of neuronal networks. However, the molecular mechanisms that underlie interstitial axon branching in the mammalian brain remain unresolved. Here, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: Marcus A. Triplett, Marta Gajowa, Benjamin Antin, Masato Sadahiro, Hillel Adesnik and Liam Paninski | Summary: Abstract Discovering how neural computations are implemented in the cortex at the level of monosynaptic connectivity requires probing for the existence of synapses from possibly thousands of presynaptic candidate neurons. Two-photon optogenetics has […]
