Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Joel E Brame, Craig Liddicoat, Catherine A Abbott, Robert A Edwards, Jake M Robinson, Nicolas E Gauthier and Martin F Breed | Summary: Abstract Butyrate-producing bacteria are found in many ecosystems and organisms, including humans. They ferment organic matter, producing the by-product butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid with important […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani | Authors: Amy Pribadi, Kaila Rosales, Kirthi C Reddy and Sreekanth H Chalasani | Summary: Abstract Prey respond to predators by altering their behavior to optimize their own fitness and survival. We probe the interactions between Caenorhabditis elegans and its naturally cohabiting predator Pristionchus uniformis to reveal the pathways driving changes […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bradley Voytek | Authors: Michael Preston, Natalie Schaworonkow and Bradley Voytek | Summary: Abstract Electrical recordings of human brain activity via electroencephalography (EEG) show prominent, rhythmic voltage fluctuations. These periodic oscillations have been linked to nearly every cognitive and perceptual process, as well numerous disease states. Recent methodological and theoretical advances, however, have […]

Kavli Affiliate: Stefano Fusi | Authors: Valeria Fascianelli, Fabio Stefanini, Satoshi Tsujimoto, Aldo Genovesio and Stefano Fusi | Summary: Abstract Animals likely use a variety of strategies to solve laboratory tasks. Traditionally, combined analysis of behavioral and neural recording data across subjects employing different strategies may obscure important signals and give confusing results. Hence it […]
Kavli Affiliate: Costa, Rui | Authors: Paul Botros, Nuria Vendrell-Llopis, Rui Costa and Jose Carmena | Summary: Abstract Throughout learning, refinement of cortical activity in cortex, a process termed “credit assignment”, underlies the refinement of behavioral actions leading to reward. While previous research shows striatum’s role in linking behavior to reward, striatum’s role in linking […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Minor | Authors: Zhou Chen, Abhisek Mondal, Fayal Abderemane-Ali, Jose Montano, Balyn Zaro and Daniel L Minor, Jr. | Summary: Abstract Voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs) comprise multiple structural units whose assembly is required for function1,2. There is scant structural understanding of how VGIC subunits assemble and whether chaperone proteins are required. High-voltage […]

Nowakowski, Nadav J. Ahituv, Alex Aaron Pollen and Katherine S Pollard | Summary: Abstract Human Accelerated Regions (HARs) are conserved genomic loci that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeremiah Cohen | Authors: Jae Hyung Woo, Claudia G Aguirre, Bilal A Bari, Ken-Ichiro Tsutsui, Fabian Grabenhorst, Jeremiah Y Cohen, Wolfram Schultz, Alicia Izquierdo and Alireza Soltani | Summary: Abstract Despite being unpredictable and uncertain, reward environments often exhibit certain regularities, and animals navigating these environments try to detect and utilize such regularities […]
