Kavli Affiliate: Douglas Nitz | Authors: Hin Wai Lui, Elizabeth R. Chrastil, Douglas A. Nitz and Jeffrey L. Krichmar | Summary: Humans and many animals possess the remarkable ability to navigate environments by seamlessly switching between first-person perspectives (FPP) and global map perspectives (GMP). However, the neural mechanisms that underlie this transformation remain poorly understood. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jyoti Mishra and Dhakshin Ramanathan | Authors: Morteza Salimi, Milad Nazari, Jonathan Mishler, Mishra Jyoti and Dhakshin Ramanathan | Summary: Background Repetitive brain stimulation is hypothesized to bidirectionally modulate excitability, with low-frequency trains decreasing and high-frequency (>5 Hz) trains increasing activity. Most insights on the neuroplastic effects of repetitive stimulation protocols stem from […]

Ellisman, Horacio O. de la Iglesia, M. Fernanda Ceriani and Julián Gargiulo | Summary: In vivo imaging of dynamic sub-cellular brain structures in Drosophila melanogaster is key to understanding several phenomena in neuroscience. […]

Hansen, Julian Gargiulo, Ezio Rosato, Horacio de la iglesia, Mark Ellisman and M. Fernanda Ceriani | Summary: In Drosophila, about 250 clock neurons in the brain form a network that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Takaki Komiyama | Authors: Sonja Blumenstock, David Arakelyan, Nicholas del Grosso, Sonja Schneider, Yufeng Shao, Enida Gjoni, Ruediger Klein, Irina Dudanova and Takaki Komiyama | Summary: Huntington′s disease (HD) is a devastating movement disorder without a current cure. Although the monogenic basis of HD is well-defined, the complex downstream effects that underlie behavioral […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anders Dale | Authors: Xueying Chen, Hao Wang, Iris Broce, Anders M Dale, Bing Yu, Laura Y Zhou, Xihao Li, Maria Argos, Martha L Daviglus, Jianwen Cai, Nora Franceschini and Tamar Sofer | Summary: Hispanic/Latino populations are admixed, with genetic contributions from multiple ancestral populations. Studies of genetic association in these admixed populations […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yishi Jin | Authors: Seungmee Park, Andrew D. Chisholm and Yishi Jin | Summary: Neurons maintain their morphology over prolonged periods of adult life with limited regeneration after injury. C. elegans DIP-2 is a conserved regulator of lipid metabolism that affects axon maintenance and regeneration after injury. Here, we investigated genetic interactions of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kathleen Cullen and Vikram Chib | 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 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jill Leutgeb | Authors: Mengni Wang, Li Yuan, Stefan Leutgeb and Jill K. Leutgeb | Summary: Mental exploration enables flexible evaluation of potential future choices, guiding decision-making without requiring direct real-world iterations. Although the hippocampus is known to be active while imagining the future, the precise mechanisms that support mental exploration of future […]
