Dissecting neural computations of the human auditory pathway using deep neural networks for speech

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Yuanning Li, Gopala K Anumanchipalli, Abdelrahman Mohamed, Junfeng Lu, Jinsong Wu and Edward F Chang | Summary: The human auditory system extracts rich linguistic abstractions from the speech signal. Traditional approaches to understand this complex process have used classical linear feature encoding models, with limited success. Artificial neural networks […]

Cohesin erases genomic-proximity biases to drive stochastic Protocadherin expression for proper neural wiring

Kavli Affiliate: Daniele Canzio | Authors: Lea Kiefer, Gabrielle Isabelle F. Servito, Sandy M Rajkumar, Jennifer Langen, Anna Chiosso, Alexander Buckley, Elizabeth S. Cha, Adan Horta, Michael H Mui and Daniele Canzio | Summary: Clustered Protocadherin (Pcdh) proteins act as cell-surface recognition barcodes for neural circuit formation. Neurites expressing the same barcode repel each other, […]

Not optimal, just noisy: the geometry of correlated variability leads to highly suboptimal sensory coding

Kavli Affiliate: Kristofer Bouchard | Authors: Jesse A Livezey, Pratik Singh Sachdeva, Maximilian E Dougherty, Mathew T Summers and Kristofer E Bouchard | Summary: The brain represents the world through the activity of neural populations. Correlated variability across simultaneously recorded neurons (noise correlations) has been observed across cortical areas and experimental paradigms. Many studies have […]

Sub-harmonic Entrainment of Cortical Gamma Oscillations to Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson’s Disease: Predictions and Validation of a Patient-Specific Non-Linear Model

Kavli Affiliate: Philip Starr | Authors: James J. Sermon, Maria Olaru, Juan Anso, Simon Little, Rafal Bogacz, Philip A. Starr, Timothy Denison and Benoit Duchet | Summary: Background Entrainment of brain oscillations has been hypothesised as a potential mechanism of neuromodulation. While neuromodulation has been shown to be an effective therapy for a variety of […]

Dynamic Synchronization between Hippocampal Spatial Representations and the Stepping Rhythm

Kavli Affiliate: Loren Frank | Authors: Abhilasha Joshi, Eric L. Denovellis, Abhijith Mankili, Yagiz Meneksedag, Thomas Davidson, Anna K Gillespie, Jennifer Ann Guidera, Demetris Roumis and Loren M. Frank | Summary: The hippocampus is a vertebrate brain structure that expresses spatial representations1 and is critical for navigation2,3. Navigation in turn intricately depends on locomotion; however, […]
