Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski and Darcy Peterka | Authors: Marcus A Triplett, Edgar Bäumler, Alex Prodan, Rokas Stonis, Darcy S Peterka, Michael Häusser and Liam Paninski | Summary: Determining the intricate structure and function of neural circuits requires the ability to precisely manipulate circuit activity. Two-photon holographic optogenetics has emerged as a powerful tool for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Hua-Dong Xiong, Li Ji-An, Robert C Wilson and Marcelo G Mattar | Summary: A hallmark of intelligence is the ability to adapt behavior to changing environments, which requires adapting one’s own learning strategies. This phenomenon is known as learning to learn in cognitive science and meta-learning in artificial intelligence. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Parris Washington Chandler, Sang Soo Lee, Leighton Duncan, Dong Won Thomas Kim, Mark Wu and Seth Blackshaw | Summary: Sleep pressure, the accumulating drive towards sleep during wakefulness, is shaped by Lhx6-positive GABAergic neurons in the zona incerta (ZI). Here, we show that these neurons are broadly activated both […]

Kavli Affiliate: Vincent Ferrera | Authors: Dong Liu, Xingfeng Shao, Fabian A Munoz Silva, Soroosh Sanatkhani, Ray Lee, Elisa Konofagou, Danny JJ Wang and Vincent P Ferrera | Summary: This study applied diffusion-prepared pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (DP-pCASL) to quantify cerebral blood flow (CBF), arterial transit time (ATT), and blood-brain barrier (BBB) water exchange rate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Niklas Krick, Jacob Davies, Bramwell Coulson, Daniel Sobrido-Camean, Michael Miller, Matthew C.W. Oswald, Aref Arzan Zarin, Richard Baines and Matthias Landgraf | Summary: As developing neural circuits become functional, they undergo a phase of heightened plasticity that facilitates network tuning in response to intrinsic and/or extrinsic stimuli. These developmental […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Susanna R Grigson, George Bouras, Bhavya Papudeshi, Vijini Mallawaarachchi, Michael J Roach, Przemyslaw Decewicz and Robert A Edwards | Summary: Sensorimotor and cognitive abilities undergo substantial changes throughout the human lifespan, but the corresponding changes in the functional properties of cortical networks remain poorly understood. This can be studied […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Susanna R Grigson, George Bouras, Bhavya Papudeshi, Vijini Mallawaarachchi, Michael J Roach, Przemyslaw Decewicz and Robert A Edwards | Summary: Accurate genome annotation is fundamental to decoding viral diversity and understanding bacteriophage biology; yet, the majority of bacteriophage genes remain functionally uncharacterised. Bacteriophage genomes often exhibit conserved gene order, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leslie B. Vosshall | Authors: Leah Houri-Zeevi, Madison M. Walker, Jacopo Razzauti, Anurag Sharma, H. Amalia Pasolli and Leslie B. Vosshall | Summary: Female mosquitoes typically mate once in a lifetime, making this singular mating decision critically important for the female. Yet, mosquito mating has been historically viewed as male-guided, with the female […]
