Kavli Affiliate: Eiman Azim | Authors: Jake Lustig, Alexander Lammers, Julia Kaiser, Payal Patel, Aidan Raghu, James M. Conner, Phong Nguyen, Eiman Azim and Vibhu Sahni | Summary: The corticospinal tract (CST) facilitates skilled, precise movements, which necessitates that subcerebral projection neurons (SCPN) establish segmentally specific connectivity with brainstem and spinal circuits. Developmental molecular delineation […]

Kavli Affiliate: John Serences | Authors: Anna Shafer-Skelton, Timothy F Brady and John T Serences | Summary: Understanding 3D representations of spatial information, particularly in naturalistic scenes, remains a significant challenge in vision science. This is largely because of conceptual difficulties in disentangling higher-level 3D information from co-occurring features and cues (e.g., the 3D shape […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yishi Jin | Authors: Erin M Ritchie, Siming Zhong, Qianyi Pu, Yunbo Li, Binhai Zheng and Yishi Jin | Summary: The conserved MAP3K12/Dual Leucine Zipper Kinase (DLK) plays versatile roles in neuronal development, axon injury and stress responses, and neurodegeneration, depending on cell-type and cellular contexts. Emerging evidence implicates abnormal DLK signaling in […]

Kavli Affiliate: Deanna J. Greene and Jeremy Willsey | Authors: Shefali S. Rai, Kate J. Godfrey, Kirk Graff, Ryann Tansey, Daria Merrikh, Shelly Yin, Matthew Feigelis, Damion V. Demeter, Tamara Vanderwal, Deanna J. Greene and Signe L. Bray | Summary: functional connectivity (FC) measurements are important for robust and reproducible findings, yet pediatric functional magnetic […]

Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Vikram Pal Singh, Jingwen Li, Jude Mitchell and Cory Miller | Summary: Our understanding of how vision functions as primates actively navigate the real-world is remarkably sparse. As most data have been limited to chaired and typically head-restrained animals, the synergistic interactions of different motor actions/plans inherent to active […]

Kavli Affiliate: Massimo Scanziani | Authors: Guy Bouvier, Alessandro Sanzeni, Elizabeth Hamada, Nicolas Brunel and Massimo Scanziani | Summary: Head movements are sensed by the vestibular organs. Unlike classical senses, signals from vestibular organs are not conveyed to a dedicated cortical area but are broadcast throughout the cortex. Surprisingly, the routes taken by vestibular signals […]

Kavli Affiliate: Gabriel Silva | Authors: Jeziel D Damasceno, Gabriel LA Silva, Catarina A Marques, Marija Krasilnikova, Craig Lapsley, Dario Beraldi and Richard McCulloch | Summary: Understanding genome duplication requires characterisation of the locations where DNA replication initiates, termed origins. Genome-wide mapping of DNA replication origins has mainly been derived from population-based techniques, with only […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Francisco Joaquín Tassara, Mariano Barella, Lourdes Simó, Mailen Folgueira, Micaela Rodríguez-Caron, Juan Ignacio Ispizua, Mark H. 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. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Li Ji-An, Marcus K Benna and Marcelo G Mattar | Summary: Normative modeling frameworks such as Bayesian inference and reinforcement learning provide valuable insights into the fundamental principles governing adaptive behavior. While these frameworks are valued for their simplicity and interpretability, their reliance on few parameters often limits their […]
