Balancing Stability and Flow in Hippocampal Networks via Inductive Bias and Learned Symmetry Breaking

Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Margot Wagner, Yusi Chen, Arjun Karuvally, Mia Cameron and Terrence J Sejnowski | Summary: sequential dynamics underlying replay, prediction and traveling waves. How hippocampal circuitry achieves both remains unclear. Here, we show that recurrent neural networks trained on continuous prediction tasks converge to a mixed-symmetry dynamical regime, in which […]

Active gaze behavior organizes V1 activity in freely-moving marmosets

Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Jingwen Li, Vikram Pal Singh, Jude F. Mitchell, Alexander C. Huk and Cory T. Miller | Summary: Human and nonhuman primates rely heavily on vision to actively explore and navigate their environment. Although primate visual cortex has been studied extensively in head-fixed animals, little is known about how the […]

Prefrontal working memory activity partially mediates link between enriched neighborhood environments and episodic memory among 9-13-year-olds

Kavli Affiliate: Wesley Thompson | Authors: Michael Rosario, Carlos Cardenas-Iniguez, Jennifer V Chavez, Katherine L Bottenhorn, Hedyeh Ahmadi, Megan M Herting and Wesley K Thompson | Summary: Background Enriched environments support neurodevelopment. The pathways linking enrichment to cognitive processes such as episodic memory among youth remain unclear. This study examined whether brain function and structure […]

Sonogenetic control of cardiomyocytes and cardiac pacing using exogenous Transient Receptor Potential A1 channels

Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani | Authors: Lei Zhang, Jing Zhang, Tsui-Min Wang, Callum Walsh, Farah Sheikh, Sreekanth H. Chalasani and James Friend | Summary: Electronic cardiac pacemakers are the standard of care for treating arrhythmias but, even for wireless pacemakers, they require an intracardiac implant procedure and are invasive. Lead-related complications, including life-threatening infections, and […]

Episodic memory facilitates flexible decision making via access to detailed events

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Jonathan Nicholas and Marcelo G Mattar | Summary: Our experiences contain countless details that may be important in the future, yet we rarely know which will matter and which won’t. This uncertainty poses a difficult challenge for adaptive decision making, as failing to preserve relevant information can prevent us […]

Dopaminergic Modulation of Mushroom Body Output Neurons Mediates Nociception-Induced Escape in Drosophila

Kavli Affiliate: Ann-Shyn Chiang | Authors: Chi-Lien Yang, Chia-Wen Chen, Kuan-Lin Feng, Hsiao-Chien Peng, Ming-Chin Wu, Ching-Che Charng, Li-An Chu, Yeong-Ray Wen and Ann-Shyn Chiang | Summary: In Drosophila, noxious heat is detected by peripheral nociceptors expressing transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, including Painless and TrpA1, and rapidly triggers escape behavior. Although peripheral transduction has […]
