Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Timothy Tyree, Michael Metke and Cory Miller | Summary: Faces and voices are the dominant social signals used to recognize individuals amongst human and nonhuman primates (1–4). Yet it is not known how these critical signals are integrated into a cross-modal representation of individual identity in the primate brain. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kathleen Cullen | Authors: Oliver R Stanley, Ananya Swaminathan, Elias Wojahn, Zubair M Ahmed and Kathleen E Cullen | Summary: Quantifying behavior and relating it to underlying biological states is of paramount importance in many life science fields. Although barriers to recording postural data have been reduced by progress in deep-learning-based computer vision […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Yaeram Jeong, chung-ha Davis, Aaron Muscarella, Viraj Deshpande, Keun-Young Kim, Mark Ellisman and Nicholas Marsh-Armstrong | Summary: We previously described a process referred to as transmitophagy where mitochondria shed by retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons are transferred to and degraded by surrounding astrocytes in the optic nerve head of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: George A. Spirou, Matthew Kersting, Sean Carr, Bayan Razzaq, Carolyna Y. Alves-Pinto, Mariah Dawson, Mark H. Ellisman and Paul B. Manis | Summary: Globular bushy cells (GBCs) of the cochlear nucleus play central roles in the temporal processing of sound. Despite investigation over many decades, fundamental questions remain about […]
Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: Marcus A Triplett, Marta Gajowa, Hillel Adesnik and Liam Paninski | Summary: Two-photon optogenetics has transformed our ability to probe the structure and function of neural circuits. However, achieving precise optogenetic control of neural ensemble activity has remained fundamentally constrained by the problem of off-target stimulation (OTS): the inadvertent […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hey-Kyoung Lee, Richard Huganir | Authors: Yoichi Araki, Elizabeth E. Gerber, Kacey E. Rajkovich, Ingie Hong, Richard C. Johnson, Hey-Kyoung Lee, Alfredo Kirkwood and Richard L. Huganir | Summary: SYNGAP1 is a Ras-GTPase activating protein highly enriched at excitatory synapses in the brain. De novo loss-of-function mutations in SYNGAP1 are a major cause […]

Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Courtney Glavis-Bloom, Casey R Vanderlip, Payton A Asch and John H Reynolds | Summary: Age-related cognitive impairment is not expressed uniformly across cognitive domains. Cognitive functions that rely on brain areas that undergo substantial neuroanatomical changes with age often show age-related impairment, while those that rely on brain areas […]
