Kavli Affiliate: Lily Jan and Yuh Nung Jan | Authors: Chin Fen Teo, Sami T Tuomivaara, Niek van Hilten, David Crottès, Yuh Nung Jan, Michael Grabe and Lily Y Jan | Summary: The asymmetric resting distribution of the three major phospholipid classes on the mammalian plasma membrane, with phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine mostly on the inner […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Woolley | Authors: Logan S James, Sarah C Woolley, Jon T Sakata, Courtney B Hilton, Michael J Ryan and Samuel A Mehr | Summary: Many animals produce sounds during courtship, and receivers prefer some sounds over others. Shared ancestry and convergent evolution may generate similarities in preference across species and could underlie […]
Kavli Affiliate: Justus M Kebschull | Authors: Hyopil Kim, Cheng Xu, Craig Washington, Maggie Lowmann and Justus M Kebschull | Summary: Brain-wide neural circuits are formed by the diverse axonal branching patterns of many individual neurons. Here we introduce POINTseq (projections of interest by sequencing), a high-throughput and user-friendly barcoded connectomics method that uses cell […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Simone D’Ambrogio, Jan Grohn, Nima Khalighinejad, Marcelo Mattar, Laurence T Hunt and Matthew F Rushworth | Summary: It has been suggested that humans and other animals are driven by a fundamental desire to acquire information about opportunities available in their environments. Not only might such a desire explain pathological […]
Kavli Affiliate: Adam S. Charles | Authors: Sai Koukuntla, Tate DeWeese, Alexandra Cheng, Robyn Mildren, Aamna Lawrence, Austin R Graves, Jennifer Colonell, Timothy D Harris and Adam S Charles | Summary: The growing channel count of silicon probes has substantially increased the number of neurons recorded in electrophysiology (ephys) experiments, rendering traditional manual spike sorting […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gabriel Silva | Authors: Shahina Akter, Gabriel Vinícius Rolim Silva, Jonas Ivan Nobre Oliveira, Umberto Laino Fulco, Xianyang Xu and Yu Vincent Fu | Summary: The human skin serves as a dynamic ecosystem for beneficial commensal bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, which play a crucial role in maintaining skin barrier integrity and modulating […]
Kavli Affiliate: Arnold R. Kriegstein | Authors: Tianzhi Wu, lihua jiang, Tanzila Mukhtar, Li Wang, ruiqi jian, Cheng Wang, Tiffany Trinh, Arnold Kriegstein, Michael Snyder and Jingjing Li | Summary: Proteins are the functional effectors of virtually all biological processes, and accurately measuring their abundance and dynamics is essential for understanding development and disease. Although […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Craig Liddicoat, Bart A Eijkelkamp, Timothy R Cavagnaro, Jake M Robinson, Kiri Joy Wallace, Andrew D Barnes, Garth Harmsworth, Damien J Keating, Robert A Edwards and Martin F Breed | Summary: The global rise in human allergic and autoimmune diseases is linked to altered environmental microbiome exposures from increasing […]

Steele-Stallard, Luca Pinton, Valentina Maria Lionello, Lucia Rossi, Artadokht Aghaeipour, Salma Jalal, Cherry Tsz Yan Wong, Angela Clara-Hwang, Gisèle Bonne, Peter S. Zammit and Francesco Saverio Tedesco | Summary: LMNA-related congenital muscular dystrophy (L-CMD) is amongst the most severe forms of laminopathies, which […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kenneth Miller | Authors: Ho Yin Chau, Kenneth D Miller and Agostina Palmigiano | Summary: What are the principles that govern the responses of cortical networks to their inputs and the emergence of these responses from recurrent connectivity? Recent experiments have probed these questions by measuring cortical responses to two-photon optogenetic perturbations of […]
