Spatially distributed computation in cortical circuits

Kavli Affiliate: Thomas Albright | Authors: Sergei Gepshtein, Ambarish Pawar, Sunwoo Kwon, Sergey Savel’ev and Thomas D Albright | Summary: The traditional view of neural computation in the cerebral cortex holds that sensory neurons are specialized, i.e., selective for certain dimensions of sensory stimuli. This view was challenged by evidence of contextual interactions between stimulus […]

Conserved neuropeptidergic regulation of intestinal integrity in invertebrate models of aging

Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani, Ethan Bier | Authors: Anupama Singh, Bhagyashree Kaduskar, Kirthi C Reddy, Caroline Kumsta, Ethan Bier, Malene Hansen and Sreekanth H Chalasani | Summary: Age-related decline in intestinal barrier function impacts survival across species, but the underlying cell intrinsic and extrinsic factors remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate a role for neuropeptides in […]

Dynamic Interrogation of Stochastic Transcriptome Trajectories Using Disease Associated Genes Reveals Distinct Origins of Neurological and Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Kavli Affiliate: Fred Gage, Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Thodoros Bermperidis, Simon Schafer, Fred H. Gage, Terrence Sejnowski and Elizabeth B Torres | Summary: The advent of open access to genomic data offers new opportunities to revisit old clinical debates while approaching them from a different angle. We examine anew the question of whether psychiatric and […]

Reduced Dimension, Biophysical Neuron Models Constructed From Observed Data

Kavli Affiliate: Henry Abarbanel | Authors: Randall E Clark, Lawson Fuller, Jason A Platt and Henry Abarbanel | Summary: Using methods from nonlinear dynamics and interpolation techniques from applied mathematics, we show how to use data alone to construct discrete time dynamical rules that forecast observed neuron properties. These data may come from from simulations […]

Long-term learning transforms prefrontal cortex representations during working memory

Kavli Affiliate: Anastasia Kiyonaga | Authors: Jacob Miller, Arielle Tambini, Anastasia Kiyonaga and Mark D’Esposito | Summary: The lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) is reliably active during working memory (WM) across human and animal models, but the role of lPFC in successful WM is under debate. For instance, non-human primate (NHP) electrophysiology research finds that lPFC […]

Long-term ketogenic diet increases expression of SOX2-dependent oligodendrocyte- and myelination-associated genes in the aged mouse brain.

Kavli Affiliate: Jose Suarez Lopez | Authors: Matthew Stratton, Jose Alberto Lopez-Dominguez, Alessandro Canella, Jon J Ramsey and Gino A Cortopassi | Summary: Aging is associated with multiple neurodegenerative conditions that severely limit quality of life and shorten lifespan. Studies in rodents indicate that in addition to extending lifespan, the ketogenic diet improves cognitive function […]
