Machine assisted annotation in neuroanatomy

Kavli Affiliate: David Kleinfeld | Authors: Kui Qian, David Kleinfeld, Beth Friedman and Yoav Freund | Summary: One routine and necessary, yet time-consuming task in neuroanatomy is the annotation of labeled cells relative to the background. Currently, staining and imaging techniques enable the marking of specific cell groups with fluorescent dyes. Modern high throughput scanning […]

Categorization dynamically alters representations in human visual cortex

Kavli Affiliate: John Serences | Authors: Margaret M Henderson, John T Serences and Nuttida Rungratsameetaweemana | Summary: Everyday visual search tasks require objects to be categorized according to behavioral goals. For example, when searching for an apple at the supermarket, one might first find the Granny Smith apples by separating all visible apples into the […]

Laws for Glia Organization Conserved Across Mammals

Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Antonio Pinto-Duarte, Katharine Bogue, Terrence J. Sejnowski and Shyam Srinivasan | Summary: The organizational principles of glia remain largely unknown despite their vital role in nervous system function. Previous work has shown that the number of glia per unit volume of neocortex is constant across mammalian species. We hypothesize […]

Beyond Lux: Methods for Species and Photoreceptor-Specific Quantification of Ambient Light for Mammals

Kavli Affiliate: Timothy Brown | Authors: Richard J McDowell, Altug Didikoglu, Tom Woelders, Mazie J Gatt, Roelof A. Hut, Timothy M Brown and Robert J Lucas | Summary: Background Light is a key environmental regulator of physiology and behaviour. Mistimed or insufficient light disrupts circadian rhythms and is associated with impaired health and well-being across […]
