Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Megumi Kaneko and Michael P Stryker | Summary: Abstract We have previously shown that recovery of visual responses to a deprived eye during the critical period in mouse primary visual cortex (V1) requires both export of mRNA encoding brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) to the dendrites of cortical cells […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Fei Li, Jacob Eriksen, Juan A Oses-Prieto, Yessica K Gomez, Hongfei Xu, Janet Finer-Moore, Phuong Nguyen, Alisa Bowen, Andrew Nelson, Alma Burlingame, Michael Grabe, Robert Stroud and Robert Edwards | Summary: Abstract Concentration of neurotransmitter inside synaptic vesicles (SVs) underlies the quantal nature of synaptic transmission. In contrast to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Samuel Pleasure | Authors: Daniela S Moura, Alekhya Parvathaneni, Atehsa Sahagun, Hirofumi Noguchi, Iris Tilton, Emma Brennan, Robert M Brock, Lindsay R. Halladay, Samuel J Pleasure and Laura A. Cocas | Summary: Abstract The mechanisms that drive the timing and specificity of oligodendrocyte myelination during development, or remyelination after injury or immune attack […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristofer Bouchard, Edward Chang | Authors: Jesse A Livezey, Ahyeon Hwang, Kseniya Usovich, Maximilian Dougherty, Edward F Chang and Kristofer E Bouchard | Summary: A common challenge in neuroscience is how to decompose noisy, multi-source signals measured in experiments into biophysically interpretable components. Analysis of cortical surface electrical potentials (CSEPs) measured using electrocorticography […]

Larios, Michael Sherman, Srinivas Parthasarathy, Isidero Espineda, Joseph R. Knoedler, Annaliese Beery, Karen L. Bales, Nirao M Shah and Devanand S. Manoli | Summary: Prairie voles are among […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kira Poskanzer | Authors: Silvia Pittolo, Sae Yokoyama, Drew Willoughby, Charlotte Taylor, Michael Reitman, Vincent Tse, Zhaofa Wu, Roberto Etchenique, Yulong Li and Kira E Poskanzer | Summary: The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a hub for cognitive control, and dopamine profoundly influences its functions. In other brain regions, astrocytes sense diverse neurotransmitters and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Reza Abbasi-Asl | Authors: Fatemeh Kamali, Amir Abolfazl Suratgar, Mohammadbagher Menhaj and Reza Abbasi-Asl | Summary: Voxel-wise encoding models based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have emerged as state-of-the-art predictive models of brain activity evoked by natural movies. Despite the superior predictive performance of CNN-based models, the huge number of parameters in these […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Pengcheng Zhang, David Rumschitzki and Robert H Edwards | Summary: During exocytosis, the fusion of secretory vesicle with plasma membrane forms a pore that regulates release of neurotransmitter and peptide. Heterogeneity of fusion pore behavior has been attributed to stochastic variation in a common exocytic mechanism, implying a lack […]

[…]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Brainard | Authors: Lucas Y Tian, Timothy L Warren and Michael S Brainard | Summary: Complex behaviors depend on the coordinated activity of neural ensembles in interconnected brain areas. The behavioral function of such coordination, often measured as co-fluctuations in neural activity across areas, is poorly understood. One hypothesis is that rapidly […]
