Cerebellar-driven cortical dynamics enable task acquisition, switching and consolidation

Kavli Affiliate: Costa, Rui | Authors: Joseph Pemberton, Paul Chadderton and Rui Ponte Costa | Summary: Abstract To drive behavior, the cortex must bridge sensory cues with future outcomes. However, the principles by which cortical networks learn such sensory-behavioural transformations remain largely elusive. Here, we posit that the cerebellum assumes a crucial role in driving […]

A Simple Subcortical Feeding Circuit Linking Interoceptive Inputs to Consummatory Behavior

Kavli Affiliate: Zachary Knight & Jeffrey M. Friedman | Authors: Christin Kosse, Jessica Ivanov, Zachary Knight, Kyle Pellegrino and Jeffrey Friedman | Summary: The brain processes an array of stimuli enabling the selection of an appropriate behavioural response but the underlying circuitry linking inputs to outputs is unknown. Here we delineate a subcortical circuit in […]

Mapping energy landscapes of homopolymeric RNAs via simulated tempering and deep unsupervised learning

Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Vysakh Ramachandran and Davit A Potoyan | Summary: Conformational dynamics plays crucial roles in RNA functions about sensing and responding to environmental signals. The liquid-liquid phase separation of RNAs and the formation of stress granules partly relies on RNA’s conformational plasticity and its ability to engage in multivalent […]

A model of marmoset monkey vocal turn-taking

Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Dori Grijseels, Daniella Fairbank and Cory Miller | Summary: Vocal turn-taking has been described in a diversity of species. Yet a model that captures the various processes underlying this social behavior across species has not been developed. To this end, here we recorded a large and diverse dataset of […]
