Leveraging vision to understand curiosity

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. […]

Mesoscale volumetric light field (MesoLF) imaging of neuroactivity across cortical areas at 18 Hz

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 […]

Comparative landscape of genetic dependencies in human and chimpanzee stem cells

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 […]

Defective callosal termination underlies the long-term behavioral deficits in NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis mouse model

Kavli Affiliate: Samuel Pleasure | Authors: Jing Zhou, Ariele Greenfield, Rita Loudermilk, Christopher Bartley, Baouyen Tran, Chao Zhao, Hong Wang, Michael Wilson and Samuel Pleasure | Summary: NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis (NMDAR-AE) is characterized by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-resident anti-NMDA receptor autoantibodies that cause a wide range of neurological manifestations. Although many symptoms are responsive to […]

Dual credit assignment processes underlie dopamine signals in a complex spatial environment

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Berke, Loren Frank | Authors: Timothy Amos Krausz, Alison E. Comrie, Loren M. Frank, Nathaniel Douglass Daw and Joshua D. Berke | Summary: Dopamine in the nucleus accumbens helps motivate behavior based on expectations of future reward (“values”). These values need to be updated by experience: after receiving reward, the choices that […]
