Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Vogelstein | Authors: Jaewon Chung, Eric W Bridgeford, Michael Powell and Joshua T Vogelstein | Summary: The heritability of human connectomes is crucial for understanding the genetic and environmental factors that influence variations in connectomes, which can provide insights into behavior and disease. However, current approaches to studying connectome heritability assume an […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ekaterina V. Vinogradova | Authors: Ekaterina Vinogradova, Alisa Mikhaylina, Oleg Nikonov and Ekaterina Nikonova | Summary: Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) are the main enzymes of protein biosynthesis. Human glycyl-tRNA synthetase, in addition to the main function of amino acid transfer to the corresponding tRNA molecules, is also involved in the initiation of IRES I […]
Kavli Affiliate: Laurent Younes, Michael Miller, Jean Fan | Authors: Kaitlin M Stouffer, Alain Trouve, Laurent Younes, Michael Kunst, Lydia Ng, Hongkui Zeng, Manjari Anant, Jean Fan, Yongsoo Kim and Michael I Miller | Summary: This paper explicates a solution to the problem of building correspondences between molecular-scale transcriptomics and tissue-scale atlases. The central model […]

Kavli Affiliate: Franck Polleux | Authors: Daniel M Virga, Stevie Hamilton, Bertha Osei, Abigail Morgan, Emiliano Zamponi, Natalie J Park, Victoria L Hewitt, David Zhang, Kevin C Gonzalez, Erik Bloss, Franck Polleux and Tommy L Lewis, Jr. | Summary: Neuronal mitochondria play important roles beyond ATP generation, including Ca2+ uptake, and therefore have instructive roles […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yuh Nung Jan, Lily Jan | Authors: Sami Tapio Tuomivaara, Chin Fen Teo, Yuh Nung Jan, Lily Y Jan and Arun Paul Wiita | Summary: To facilitate our understanding of the often rapid and nuanced dynamics of extracellularly exposed proteomes during signaling events, it is important to devise robust workflows affording fast time […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline Gottlieb | Authors: Michael Cohanpour, Mariam Aly and Jacqueline Gottlieb | Summary: Humans are immensely curious and motivated to reduce uncertainty. Inspired by studies of sensory uncertainty, we hypothesized that visual areas provide multivariate representations of uncertainty, which are read out by higher-order areas that encode confidence and, ultimately, translated into curiosity. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Samuel Pfaff | Authors: Marito Hayashi, Miriam Gullo, Gokhan Senturk, Stefania Di Costanzo, Shinji C. Nagasaki, Ryoichiro Kageyama, Itaru Imayoshi, Martyn Goulding, Samuel L. Pfaff and Graziana Gatto | Summary: Innate and goal-directed movements require a high-degree of trunk and appendicular muscle coordination to preserve body stability while ensuring the correct execution of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alipasha Vaziri | Authors: Tobias Nöbauer, Yuanlong Zhang, Hyewon Kim and Alipasha Vaziri | Summary: Various implementations of mesoscopes provide optical access for calcium imaging across multi-millimeter fields-of-view (FOV) in the mammalian brain. However, capturing the activity of the neuronal population within such FOVs near-simultaneously and in a volumetric fashion has remained challenging […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alex Pollen | Authors: Richard She, Tyler Fair, Nathan K. Schaefer, Reuben A. Saunders, Bryan J Pavlovic, Jonathan S. Weissman and Alex A. Pollen | Summary: Comparative studies of great apes provide a window into our evolutionary past, but the extent and identity of cellular differences that emerged during hominin evolution remain largely […]
