Dopamine signaling regulates predator-driven changes in Caenorhabditis elegans egg laying behavior

Posted by klaurent UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani | Authors: Amy Pribadi, Michael A Rieger, Kaila Rosales, Kirthi C Reddy and Sreekanth H Chalasani | Summary: Prey respond to predators by altering their behavior to optimize their own fitness and survival. Specifically, prey are known to avoid predator-occupied territories to reduce their risk of harm or injury to themselves […]

Prophage rates in the human microbiome vary by body site and host health.

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Laura K Inglis, Michael J. Roach and Robert A Edwards | Summary: Phages integrated into a bacterial genome–called prophages–continuously monitor the health of the host bacteria to determine when to escape the genome, protect their host from other phage infections, and may provide genes that promote bacterial growth. Prophages […]

Automatic Discovery of Cognitive Strategies with Tiny Recurrent Neural Networks

Posted by klaurent UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Li Ji-An, Marcus K Benna and Marcelo G Mattar | Summary: Normative frameworks such as Bayesian inference and reward-based learning are useful tools for explaining the fundamental principles of adaptive behavior. However, their ability to describe realistic animal behavior is limited by the often small number of parameters that […]
