Kavli Affiliate: Stefano Fusi | Authors: W. Jeffrey Johnston and Stefano Fusi | Summary: The brain has a well-known large scale organization at the level of brain regions, where different regions have been argued to primarily serve different behavioral functions. This regional specialization has been explained theoretically as arising from constraints on connectivity and the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Huganir | Authors: Kevin Chen, Junhua Yang, Bian Liu, Chaohua Jiang, Nicholas Koylass, Zhe Zhang, Shuying Sun, Richard L. Huganir and Zhaozhu Qiu | Summary: Endosomal homeostasis is critical for neuronal function, including the post-synaptic trafficking of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPARs). Dynamic AMPAR trafficking is a major component of synaptic plasticity, such […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: Mingliang Jin, Robert Seed, Tiffany Shing, Yifan Cheng and Stephen Nishimura | Summary: The multifunctional cytokine TGF-β is produced in a latent form (L-TGF-β) where a RGD containing homodimeric prodomain forms a “ring” encircling mature TGF-β shielding it from its receptors. Thus L-TGF-β must be activated to function, a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zachary Knight | Authors: Heeun Jang, Alexis Behne Sharma, Usan Dan, Jasmine H. Wong, Zachary A. Knight and Jennifer L. Garrison | Summary: Chronic dehydration is a leading cause of morbidity for the elderly, but how aging alters the fluid homeostasis system is not well understood. Here, we used a combination of physiologic, […]
Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Vysakh Ramachandran, William Brown and Davit A Potoyan | Summary: Liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins and nucleic acids into condensate phases is a versatile mechanism for ensuring compartmentalization of cellular biochemistry. RNA molecules play critical roles in these condensates, particularly in transcriptional regulation and stress responses, exhibiting a […]

Kavli Affiliate: George A. Alvarez | Authors: Fenil R. Doshi, Talia Konkle and George A. Alvarez | Summary: Summary: Deep neural network models provide a powerful experimental platform for exploring core mechanisms underlying human visual perception, such as perceptual grouping and contour integration — the process of linking local edge elements to arrive at a […]
