The h-current controls cortical recurrent network activity through modulation of dendrosomatic communication

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea Hasenstaub | Authors: David A. McCormick, Yousheng Shu and Andrea R Hasenstaub | Summary: A fundamental feature of the cerebral cortex is the ability to rapidly turn on and off maintained activity within ensembles of neurons through recurrent excitation balanced by inhibition. Here we demonstrate that reduction of the h-current, which is […]

Resolving Non-identifiability Mitigates Bias in Models of Neural Tuning and Functional Coupling

Kavli Affiliate: Kristofer Bouchard, Loren Frank, Christoph Kirst | Authors: Pratik Sachdeva, Ji Hyun Bak, Jesse A Livezey, Loren Frank, Christoph Kirst, Sharmodeep Bhattacharyya and Kristofer Bouchard | Summary: In the brain, all neurons are driven by the activity of other neurons, some of which maybe simultaneously recorded, but most are not. As such, models […]

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 […]
