Factors governing attachment of Rhizobium leguminosarum to legume roots

Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Jack Parsons, Clare Cocker, Alison East, Rachel Wheatley, Vinoy Ramachandran, Farnusch Kaschani, Markus Kaiser and Philip Poole | Summary: Abstract Primary attachment of rhizobia to host legume roots depends on pH and is the first physical interaction during nodulation. Genome-wide insertion sequencing, luminescence-based attachment assays and proteomic analysis […]

Subcellular niche segregation of co-obligate symbionts in whiteflies

Kavli Affiliate: Ying Meng | Authors: Akiko FUJIWARA, Xian-Ying Meng, Yoichi Kamagata and Tsutomu TSUCHIDA | Summary: Abstract Many insects contain endosymbiotic bacteria within their bodies. In multiple endosymbiotic systems comprising two or more symbionts, each of the symbionts is generally localized in a different host cell or tissue. Bemisia tabaci (Sweet potato whitefly)possesses a […]

Quadratic computations maintain neural specificity to natural stimuli across stages of visual processing

Kavli Affiliate: Tatyana Sharpee | Authors: Ryan J. Rowekamp and Tatyana Sharpee | Summary: Abstract Despite recent successes in machine vision, artificial recognition systems continue to be less robust than biological systems. The brittleness of artificial recognition system has been attributed to the linearity of the core operation that matches inputs to target patterns at […]

An open-access EEG dataset for speech decoding: Exploring the role of articulation and coarticulation

Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: João Pedro Carvalho Moriera, Vinícius Rezende Carvalho, Eduardo Mazoni Andrade Marçal Mendes, Aria Fallah, Terrence J. Sejnowski, Claudia Lainscsek and Lindy B Comstock | Summary: Abstract Electroencephalography (EEG) holds promise for brain-computer interface (BCI) devices as a non-invasive measure of neural activity. With increased attention to EEG-based BCI systems, […]

Tumor proliferation and invasion are coupled through cell-extracellular matrix friction

Kavli Affiliate: Denis Wirtz | Authors: Ashleigh J. Crawford, Clara Gomez-Cruz, Gabriella C. Russo, Wilson Huang, Isha Bhorkar, Arrate Munoz-Barrutia, Denis Wirtz and Daniel Garcia-Gonzalez | Summary: Abstract Cell proliferation and invasion are two key drivers of tumor progression and are traditionally considered two independent cellular processes regulated by distinct pathways. Through in vitro and […]

A method of inferring partially observable Markov models from syllable sequences reveals the effects of deafening on Bengalese finch song syntax

Kavli Affiliate: Kristofer Bouchard | Authors: Jiali Lu, Sumithra Surendralal, Kristofer E Bouchard and Dezhe Z. Jin | Summary: Abstract Songs of the Bengalese finch consist of variable sequences of syllables. The sequences follow probabilistic rules, and can be statistically described by partially observable Markov models (POMMs), which consist of states and probabilistic transitions between […]

Direct Cortical Inputs to Hippocampal Area CA1 Transmit Complementary Signals for Goal-directed Navigation

Kavli Affiliate: Attila Losonczy | Authors: John C Bowler and Attila Losonczy | Summary: Summary The entorhinal cortex (EC) is central to the brain’s navigation system. Its subregions are conventionally thought to compute dichotomous representations for spatial processing: medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) provides a global spatial map, while lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) encodes specific sensory […]
