Kavli Affiliate: Emre Yaksi | Authors: Anh-Tuan Trinh, Anna Maria Ostenrath, Ignacio del Castillo-Berges, Susanne Kraus, Fanchon Cachin, Bram Serneels, Koichi Kawakami and Emre Yaksi | Summary: Thalamocortical projections contribute to the spatial organization and functional hierarchies of the mammalian cortex. Primary sensory cortices receive topographically segregated information from first-order thalamic nuclei, which process distinct […]
Kavli Affiliate: Reza Shadmehr | Authors: Alkis M. Hadjiosif, Kahori Kita, Scott T. Albert, Robert A. Scheidt, Reza Shadmehr and John W. Krakauer | Summary: Moving and holding still have been posited to be under separate control regimes for both eye and arm movements. The paretic arm after stroke is notable for abnormalities both at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Vijini Mallawaarachchi, George Bouras, Ryan R. Wick, Susanna R. Grigson, Bhavya Papudeshi and Robert A. Edwards | Summary: Assembly graphs are a fundamental data structure used by genome and metagenome assemblers to represent sequences and their overlap information, facilitating the assembler to construct longer genomic fragments. Apart from their […]
Kavli Affiliate: Darcy Peterka and Michael Shadlen | Authors: Jia Shen, Nuttida Rungratsameetaweemana, Prayshita Sharma, Darcy S. Peterka, Herbert Zheng Wu and Michael N. Shadlen | Summary: Cognitive operations often require flexible implementation of stimulus–response contingencies, depending on context. We developed an olfactory task in which mice learned to associate a test odor with a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rafael Yuste | Authors: Jason Ken Adhinarta, Yutian Fan, Adam Gohain, Michael Lin, Paige Nurkin, Richard Ren, Micaela Roth, Shulin Zhang, Ayal Yakobe, Rafael Yuste and Donglai Wei | Summary: Vesicles are critical components of neurons that package neurotransmitters and neuropeptides for their release, in order to communicate with other neurons and cells. […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Serences | Authors: Kirsten C.S. Adam, Edward Awh and John T. Serences | Summary: Increasing working memory (WM) load incurs behavioral costs, and whether the neural constraints on behavioral costs are localized (i.e., emanating from the intraparietal sulcus) or distributed across cortex remains an active area of debate. In a pre-registered fMRI […]
