BrainLine: An Open Pipeline for Connectivity Analysis of Heterogeneous Whole-Brain Fluorescence Volumes

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller, Joshua Vogelstein | Authors: Thomas Athey, Matthew Wright, Marija Pavlovic, Vikram Chandrashekhar, Karl Deisseroth, Michael Miller and Joshua Vogelstein | Summary: Whole-brain fluorescence images require several stages of computational processing to fully reveal the neuron morphology and connectivity information they contain. However, these computational tools are rarely part of an integrated […]

Inhibitory control of speech production in the human premotor frontal cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Lingyun Zhao, Alexander B. Silva, Garret L. Kurteff and Edward F. Chang | Summary: Natural speech is full of starts and stops. Here, we studied the neural mechanisms that underlie the inhibitory control of speech, specifically the ability to stop speaking on demand. We recorded direct cortical activity while […]

A frontosensory circuit for visual context processing is synchronous in the theta/alpha band

Kavli Affiliate: Darcy Peterka | Authors: Georgia Bastos, Jacob T Holmes, Jordan M Ross, Anna M Rader, Connor G Gallimore, Darcy S Peterka and Jordan P Hamm | Summary: Visual processing is strongly influenced by context. Stimuli that deviate from contextual regularities elicit augmented responses in primary visual cortex (V1). These heightened responses, known as […]

Neuronal Transcriptome Disruption, Tau Accumulation and Synapse Loss in Alzheimer’s Knock-in Mice Require Cellular Prion Protein

Kavli Affiliate: Stephen Strittmatter | Authors: Austin Stoner, Li Fu, LaShae Nicholson, Chao Zheng, Takuya Toyonaga, Joshua Spurrier, Will Laird, Zhengxin Cai and Stephen M. Strittmatter | Summary: Background Cellular prion protein (PrPC) is a high-affinity cell-surface receptor for Amyloid-β oligomers (Aßo). In certain overexpression models of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), pharmacology and genetics demonstrate its […]

Early retinal deprivation crossmodally alters nascent subplate circuits and activity in the auditory cortex during the precritical period

Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Didhiti Mukherjee, Binghan Xue, Chih-Ting Chen, Minzi Chang, Joseph P-Y. Kao and Patrick O. Kanold | Summary: Sensory perturbation in one modality results in adaptive reorganization of neural pathways within the spared modalities, a phenomenon known as “crossmodal plasticity”, which has been examined during or after the classic ‘critical […]

Spatial heterogeneity in biofilm metabolism elicited by local control of phenazine methylation

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Min | Authors: Christopher R. Evans, Marina K. Smiley, Sean Asahara Thio, Mian Wei, Alexa Price-Whelan, Wei Min and Lars E.P. Dietrich | Summary: Within biofilms, gradients of electron acceptors such as oxygen stimulate the formation of physiological subpopulations. This heterogeneity can enable cross-feeding and promote drug resilience, features of the multicellular […]

Alteration of functional connectivity in the cortex and major brain networks of non-human primates following focused ultrasound exposure

Kavli Affiliate: Vincent Ferrera | Authors: Dong Liu, Fabian A Munoz Silva, Soroosh Sanatkhani, Antonios Pouliopoulos, Elisa Konofagou, Jack Grinband and Vincent P. Ferrera | Summary: Focused ultrasound (FUS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technology that is being investigated for potential treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Focused ultrasound combined with microbubbles can temporarily open the […]
