Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Abhishek Gopal, Sartaj Ghuman, Navendu Page, Vivek Ramachandran and Rohit Naniwadekar | Summary: Oceanic islands, due to their evolutionary history and isolation, hold a disproportionately high proportion of endemic species. However, their evolutionary history also makes them vulnerable to extinctions, with most known extinctions occurring on islands. Plant-animal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Tylor R Lewis, Sebastien Phan, Carson M Castillo, Keun-Young Kim, Kelsey Coppenrath, William Thomas, Ying Hao, Nikolai P Skiba, Marko E Horb, Mark H Ellisman and Vadim Y Arshavsky | Summary: The first steps of vision take place within a stack of tightly packed disc-shaped membranes, or “discs”, located […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anastasia Kiyonaga | Authors: Arielle Tambini, Jacob Miller, Luke Ehlert, Anastasia Kiyonaga and Mark D’Esposito | Summary: Influential views of systems memory consolidation posit that the hippocampus rapidly forms representations of specific events, while neocortical networks extract regularities across events, forming the basis of schemas and semantic knowledge. Neocortical extraction of schematic memory […]
Kavli Affiliate: Donald Geman, Laurent Younes | Authors: Lanlan Ji, An Wang, Shreyash Sonthalia, Daniel Q Naiman, Laurent Younes, Carlo Colantuoni and Donald Geman | Summary: Accurate identification of cell classes across the tissues of living organisms is central in the analysis of growing atlases of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data across biomedicine. Such analyses […]
Kavli Affiliate: Elena Gracheva | Authors: Yury A Nikolaev, Luke H Ziolkowski, Song Pang, Wei-Ping Li, Viktor V Feketa, C Shan Xu, Elena O Gracheva and Sviatoslav N Bagriantsev | Summary: Mechanosensory corpuscles detect transient touch and vibratory signals in the skin of vertebrates, enabling navigation, foraging, and precise manipulation of objects1. The corpuscle core […]

Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Yusi Chen, Huanqiu Zhang and Terrence J Sejnowski | Summary: We linked the temporal precision of neural encoding to the implementation of cognitive functions through predictive sequence learning. The hippocampus of rodents receives sequences of sensory inputs from the cortex during exploration and then encodes the sequences with millisecond […]
