Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Hua-Dong Xiong, Li Ji-An, Marcelo G Mattar and Robert C Wilson | Summary: Cognitive modeling provides a formal method to articulate and test hypotheses about cognitive processes. However, accurately and reliably estimating model parameters remains challenging due to common issues in behavioral science, such as limited data, measurement noise, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Thomas Deerinck, Steven Peltier and Mark Ellisman | Summary: Serial block-face scanning electron microscopy (SBEM) enables high-resolution 3D imaging of biological specimens but is often limited by specimen charging due to the use of non-conductive epoxy resins. While heavy metal staining and variable-pressure SEM can reduce charging, these methods […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Jonathan Choy, Shadi Charara, Kalyani Cauwenberghs, Quintyn McKaughan, Keun-Young Kim, Mark Ellisman and Chih-Ying Su | Summary: Dendritic morphology is a defining characteristic of neuronal subtypes. In Drosophila, heterotypic olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) expressing different receptors display diverse dendritic morphologies, but whether such diversity exists among homotypic ORNs remains […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dhakshin Ramanathan and Jyoti Mishra | Authors: Morteza Salimi, Milad Nazari, Jonathan Mishler, Jennifer Rodger, Sahar Jomehpour, Jyoti Mishra and Dhakshin Ramanathan | Summary: Varying inter-train intervals (ITIs) during theta burst stimulation (TBS) differentially modulates neuronal activity in the medial prefrontal cortex. Short ITIs (e.g., ITI 4 s) induce strong glutamatergic excitation but […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wesley Thompson | Authors: Masaya Misaki, Chun Chieh Fan, Wesley K Thompson, Heekyeong Park, Bohan Xu and Martin M Paulus | Summary: Neuroticism is characterized by emotional instability and increased susceptibility to stress-related disorders. While traditionally treated as a unitary construct, growing evidence suggests that neuroticism is heterogeneous in both its genetic basis […]

Kavli Affiliate: Tatyana Sharpee and Sreekanth Chalasani | Authors: Iulia Rusu, Zachary T Cecere, Javier J How, Kathleen T Quach, Eviatar Yemini, Tatyana O Sharpee and Sreekanth H Chalasani | Summary: Neurons represent changes in external and internal environments by altering their activity patterns. While coherent brain-wide patterns of neural activity have been observed in […]
