Long range projections of oxytocin neurons in the marmoset brain

Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Arthur Lefevre, Jazlynn Meza and Cory Miller | Summary: The neurohormone oxytocin (OT) has become a major target for the development of novel therapeutic strategies to treat psychiatric disorders such as autism spectrum disorder because of its integral role in governing many facets of mammalian social behavior. Whereas extensive work […]

Transforming chemigenetic bimolecular fluorescence complementation systems into chemical dimerizers using chemistry

Kavli Affiliate: Timothy Brown | Pratik Kumar, Alina Gutu, Amelia Waring, Timothy A Brown, Luke D Lavis and Alison G. Tebo | Summary: Chemigenetic tags are versatile labels for fluorescence microscopy that combine some of the advantages of genetically encoded tags with small molecule fluorophores. The Fluorescence Activating and absorbance Shifting Tags (FASTs) bind a […]

Acute Neuropixels recordings in the marmoset monkey

Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Nicholas M Dotson, Zachary W Davis, Patrick Jendritza and John H Reynolds | Summary: High-density linear probes, like Neuropixels, provide an unprecedented opportunity to understand how neural populations within specific laminar compartments contribute to behavior. Marmoset monkeys, unlike macaque monkeys, have a lissencephalic (smooth) cortex that enables recording perpendicular […]

Host–pathogen–vector continuum in a changing landscape: Drivers of Bartonella prevalence and evidence of historic spillover in a multi–host community

Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: B.R. Ansil, Ashwin Viswanathan, Vivek Ramachandran, H.M. Yeshwanth, Avirup Sanyal and Uma Ramakrishnan | Summary: Small mammals and their ectoparasites present a unique system to investigate the eco-epidemiology of multi-host vector-borne pathogens and identify specific bacterial spillover determinants. We applied ecological and evolutionary analyses in a rainforest-human-use mosaic […]

Mapping energy landscapes of homopolymeric RNAs via simulated tempering and deep unsupervised learning

Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Vysakh Ramachandran and Davit A Potoyan | Summary: Conformational dynamics plays crucial roles in RNA functions about sensing and responding to environmental signals. The liquid-liquid phase separation of RNAs and the formation of stress granules partly relies on RNA’s conformational plasticity and its ability to engage in multivalent […]

Brain state and cortical layer-specific mechanisms underlying perception at threshold

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy, John Reynolds | Authors: Mitchell P Morton, Sachira Denagamage, Isabel J Blume, John H Reynolds, Monika P Jadi and Anirvan S Nandy | Summary: Identical stimuli can be perceived or go unnoticed across successive presentations, producing divergent behavioral outcomes despite similarities in sensory input. We sought to understand how fluctuations in […]

A model of marmoset monkey vocal turn-taking

Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Dori Grijseels, Daniella Fairbank and Cory Miller | Summary: Vocal turn-taking has been described in a diversity of species. Yet a model that captures the various processes underlying this social behavior across species has not been developed. To this end, here we recorded a large and diverse dataset of […]
