Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Berke | Authors: Bon-Mi Gu and Joshua D. Berke | Summary: Suppressing actions is essential for flexible behavior. Multiple neural circuits involved in behavioral inhibition converge upon a key basal ganglia output nucleus, the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr). To examine how changes in basal ganglia output contribute to self-restraint, we recorded […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Serences | Authors: Margaret M. Henderson, Rosanne L. Rademaker and John T. Serences | Summary: Working memory provides flexible storage of information in service of upcoming behavioral goals. Some models propose specific fixed loci and mechanisms for the storage of visual information in working memory, such as sustained spiking in parietal and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ali Brivanlou, Eric Siggia | Authors: Anna Yoney, Lu Bai, Ali H. Brivanlou and Eric D Siggia | Summary: Vocal communication in both songbirds and humans relies on categorical perception of smoothly varying acoustic spaces. Vocal perception can be biased by expectation and context, but the mechanisms of this bias are not well […]

Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Victoria Ngo, Cory Miller, Julia Gorman, Maria Fernanda De La Fuente, Antonio Souto and Nicola Schiel | Summary: Here, we examined prey-capture in wild common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) to explicate the active role of primate vision for high-precision, goal-directed motor actions in challenging natural environments. We observed distinct marmoset […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Serences | Authors: Timothy C. Sheehan and John T. Serences | Summary: Sensory responses and behavior are strongly shaped by stimulus history. For instance, perceptual reports are sometimes biased towards previously viewed stimuli (serial dependence). While behavioral studies have pointed to both perceptual and post-perceptual origins of this phenomenon, neural data that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Adam Aron | Authors: Vignesh Muralidharan, Adam R Aron, Micheal X Cohen and Robert Schmidt | Summary: Mid-frontal theta is well-known to be involved in conflict and error-processing. In paradigms known to evoke response conflict, the temporal sequence of events leading up to conflict or error resolution and theta’s involvement in such scenarios […]

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Flora Bouchacourt, Sina Tafazoli, Marcelo Gomes Mattar, Timothy J Buschman and Nathaniel Douglass Daw | Summary: To adapt to a changing world, we must be able to switch between rules already learned and, at other times, learn rules anew. Often we must do both at the same time, switching […]
