Kavli Affiliate: Robert E. Clark | Authors: Bert van den Berg, Emily Dunbar, Robert Clark, Arnaud Basle, Shenaz Allyjaun, Hector Newman, Julia Hubbard and Syma Khalid | Summary: Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that provide alternatives to small-molecule drugs to combat infections by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. To infect a bacterial host, a phage needs to bind to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Anand R Mysorekar, Anushka Vispute and Cory Miller | Summary: Prosocial behaviors, such as cooperation and food sharing, are critical for maintaining group cohesion in social species, yet the influence of transient physiological states on these behaviors remains poorly understood. This study investigates how short-term ecological factors impact social […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Simone D’Ambrogio, Jan Grohn, Nima Khalighinejad, Marcelo Mattar, Laurence T Hunt and Matthew F Rushworth | Summary: It has been suggested that humans and other animals are driven by a fundamental desire to acquire information about opportunities available in their environments. Not only might such a desire explain pathological […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gabriel Silva | Authors: Shahina Akter, Gabriel VinÃcius Rolim Silva, Jonas Ivan Nobre Oliveira, Umberto Laino Fulco, Xianyang Xu and Yu Vincent Fu | Summary: The human skin serves as a dynamic ecosystem for beneficial commensal bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, which play a crucial role in maintaining skin barrier integrity and modulating […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Hua-Dong Xiong, Li Ji-An, Marcelo G Mattar and Robert C Wilson | Summary: Cognitive modeling in psychology and neuroscience provides a formal approach to formulate and test hypotheses of cognitive processes. Such models rely on cognitive parameters that are intended to represent interpretable and identifiable psychological constructs. However, accurately […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Kleinfeld | Authors: Sangcheon Choi, Gabriel Hoffmann, Sebastian Schneider, Stephan Kaczmarz, David Kleinfeld, Xin Yu, Christian Sorg and Christine Preibisch | Summary: Vasomotor dynamics at the infra-slow frequencies (~0.1 Hz), driven by synchronized oscillation of smooth muscle cells in vessel walls, play an important role in regulating cerebral perfusion and constitute a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani | Authors: Jessica A Haley, Tianyi Chen, Mikio Aoi and Sreekanth H Chalasani | Summary: Decision-making is a ubiquitous component of animal behavior that is often studied in the context of foraging. Foragers make a series of decisions while locating food (food search), choosing between food types (diet or patch choice), […]
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, […]
