Discovering Cognitive Strategies with Tiny Recurrent Neural Networks

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Li Ji-An, Marcus K Benna and Marcelo G Mattar | Summary: Normative modeling frameworks such as Bayesian inference and reinforcement learning provide valuable insights into the fundamental principles governing adaptive behavior. While these frameworks are valued for their simplicity and interpretability, their reliance on few parameters often limits their […]

Nucleoprotein phase-separation affinities revealed via atomistic simulations of short peptide and RNA fragments

Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Vysakh Ramachandran, William Brown and Davit A Potoyan | Summary: Liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins and nucleic acids into condensate phases is a versatile mechanism for ensuring compartmentalization of cellular biochemistry. RNA molecules play critical roles in these condensates, particularly in transcriptional regulation and stress responses, exhibiting a […]

High-Resolution Laminar Identification in Macaque Primary Visual Cortex Using Neuropixels Probes

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Callaway | Authors: Li Alex Zhang, Peichao Li and Edward M. Callaway | Summary: Summary: Laminar electrode arrays allow simultaneous recording of activity of many cortical neurons and assignment to layers using current source density (CSD) analyses. Electrode arrays with 100-micron contact spacing have been used to estimate borders between layer 4 […]

Lateral prefrontal cortex controls interplay between working memory and actions

Kavli Affiliate: Anastasia Kiyonaga | Authors: Anastasia Kiyonaga, Jacob Miller and Mark D’Esposito | Summary: Humans must often keep multiple task goals in mind, at different levels of priority and immediacy, while also interacting with the environment. We might need to remember information for an upcoming task while engaged in more immediate actions. Consequently, actively […]

Manipulating attentional priority creates a trade-off between memory and sensory representations in human visual cortex

Kavli Affiliate: John Serences | Authors: Rosanne L Rademaker and John Serences | Summary: People often remember visual information over brief delays while actively engaging with ongoing inputs from the surrounding visual environment. Depending on the situation, one might prioritize mnemonic contents (i.e., remembering details of a past event), or preferentially attend sensory inputs (i.e., […]

Cholinergic feedback for context-specific modulation of sensory representations

Kavli Affiliate: Takaki Komiyama | Authors: Bin Yu, Yuxuan Yue, Chi Ren, Rui Yun, Byungkook Lim and Takaki Komiyama | Summary: The brain’s ability to prioritize behaviorally relevant sensory information is crucial for adaptive behavior, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigated the role of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons in modulating olfactory bulb […]
