Kavli Affiliate: Gabriel Silva | Authors: Gabriel Silva Santos, Xianyu Yang, Samuel Gascoigne, Aldo Compagnoni, Andre Dias, Shripad D Tuljapurkar, Maja Kajin and Roberto Salguero-Gomez | Summary: Forecasting responses of natural populations to increasingly stochastic environments is a major challenge in Ecology and Conservation Biology. We now know that populations can modulate how their vital […]

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Callaway | Authors: Shu-Jing Li, Balazs Hangya, Unmukt Gupta, Kyle B. Fischer, James Fitzhugh Sturgill, Edward M. Callaway and Adam Kepe | Summary: Sustained attention, as an essential cognitive faculty governing selective sensory processing, exhibits remarkable temporal fluctuations. However, the underlying neural circuits and computational mechanisms driving moment-to-moment attention fluctuations remain elusive. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Thomas M Bartol, Mariam Ordyan, Terrence J Sejnowski, Padmini Rangamani and Mary B Kennedy | Summary: Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a biochemical process in excitatory glutamatergic synapses in the Central Nervous System (CNS). It is initiated by a bout of synaptic activation that is strong enough to contribute to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Callaway | Authors: Rachel M. Cassidy, Angel V. Macias, Willian N. Lagos, Chiamaka Ugorji and Edward M. Callaway | Summary: Corticocortical (CC) projections in the visual system facilitate the hierarchical processing of sensory information. In addition to direct CC connections, indirect cortico-thalamo-cortical (CTC) pathways through the pulvinar nucleus of the thalamus can […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kay Tye | Authors: James R Howe, Chung-Lung Chan, Donghyung Lee, Marlon Blanquart, Haylie Romero, Abigail N Zadina, Mackenzie E Lemieux, Paula A Desplats, Kay M Tye and Cory M Root | Summary: Animals perform innate behaviors that are stereotyped responses to specific evolutionarily relevant stimuli in the absence of prior learning or […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Allen | Authors: James Deng, Lara Labarta-Bajo, Ashley N Brandebura, Samuel B Kahn, Antonio F M Pinto, Jolene K Diedrich and Nicola J Allen | Summary: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a monogenic neurodevelopmental disorder with manifestations spanning molecular, neuroanatomical, and behavioral changes. Astrocytes contribute to FXS pathogenesis and show hundreds of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Tatyana Sharpee | Authors: Yuansheng Zhou, Thomas F O’Connell, Majid Ghaninia, Brian Smith, Elizabeth J Hong and Tatyana O Sharpee | Summary: Odors provide an important communication channel between plants and animals. Fruits, vital nutrient sources for animals, emit a complex array of monomolecular volatiles. Animals can use the structure of these mixtures […]

Kavli Affiliate: Douglas Nitz | Authors: Alexander B Johnson and Douglas A Nitz | Summary: Neurons of posterior parietal cortex were recorded as rats performed a working memory task within a network of intersecting paths. The specific routes utilized in task performance provided opportunity to contrast responses of posterior parietal cortex sub-populations to linear and […]
