Mapping general anesthesia states based on electro-encephalogram transition phases

Kavli Affiliate: Jeanne Paz | Authors: Virginie Loison, Yuliya Voskobiynyk, Britta Lindquist, Deanna Necula, Dan Longrois, Jeanne T. Paz and David Holcman | Summary: Cortical electro-encephalography (EEG) has become the clinical reference for monitoring unconsciousness during general anesthesia. The current EEG-based monitors classify general anesthesia states simply as underdosed, adequate, or overdosed, with no transition […]

Population encoding of stimulus features along the visual hierarchy

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Luciano Dyballa, Andra M Rudzite, Mahmood S Hoseini, Mishek Thapa, Michael P Stryker, Greg D Field and Steven W Zucker | Summary: The retina and primary visual cortex (V1) both exhibit diverse neural populations sensitive to diverse visual features. Yet it remains unclear how neural populations in each area […]

Multi-night naturalistic cortico-basal recordings reveal mechanisms of NREM slow wave suppression and spontaneous awakenings in Parkinson’s disease

Kavli Affiliate: Philip Starr | Authors: Md Fahim Anjum, Clay Smyth, Derk-Jan Dijk, Philip Starr, Timothy Denison and Simon Little | Summary: Background: Sleep disturbance is a prevalent and highly disabling comorbidity in individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) that leads to worsening of daytime symptoms, accelerated disease progression and reduced quality of life. Objectives: We […]

Stimulus-specific enhancement of responses in mouse primary visual cortex mediated by GABA release from VIP cells

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Megumi Kaneko, Mahmood S Hoseini, James A Waschek and Michael P Stryker | Summary: When adult mice are repeatedly exposed to a particular visual stimulus for as little as one hour per day for several days while their visual cortex (V1) is in the high-gain state produced by locomotion, […]

Functionalized graphene-oxide grids enable high-resolution cryo-EM structures of the SNF2h-nucleosome complex without crosslinking

Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: Un Seng Chio, Eugene Palovcak, Anton A. A. Autzen, Henriette E. Autzen, Elise N. Munoz, Zanlin Yu, Feng Wang, David A. Agard, Jean-Paul Armache, Geeta Narlikar and Yifan Cheng | Summary: Single-particle cryo-EM is widely used to determine enzyme-nucleosome complex structures. However, cryo-EM sample preparation remains challenging and inconsistent […]

Generative models inferred using statistical tests reveal context-dependent syllable transitions in Bengalese finch songs

Kavli Affiliate: Kristofer Bouchard | Authors: Jiali Lu, Sumithra Surendralal, Kristofer E Bouchard and Dezhe Z. Jin | Summary: Generative models are widely used in modeling sequences from language to birdsong. Here we show that a statistical test designed to guard against overgeneralization of a model in generating sequences can be used to infer minimal […]

Impaired cerebellar plasticity hypersensitizes sensory reflexes in SCN2A-associated ASD

Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Bender | Authors: Chenyu Wang, Kimberly D Derderian, Elizabeth Hamada, Xujia Zhou, Andrew D Nelson, Henry Kyoung, Nadav Ahituv, Guy Bouvier and Kevin Bender | Summary: Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) commonly present with sensory hypersensitivity, or abnormally strong reactions to sensory stimuli. Such hypersensitivity can be overwhelming, causing high […]
