Kavli Affiliate: Vikaas Sohal | Authors: Xiyu Zhu, Lara L. Hagopian, Kira E. Wallquist and Vikaas Singh Sohal | Summary: While glutamatergic synaptic plasticity is believed to be a fundamental mechanism mediating learning, the behavioral significance of plasticity at cortical GABAergic synapses remains less well understood. Furthermore, despite recent discoveries of long-range projections from neocortical […]

Kavli Affiliate: Arnold R. Kriegstein | Authors: Tianzhi Wu, lihua jiang, Tanzila Mukhtar, Li Wang, ruiqi jian, Cheng Wang, Tiffany Trinh, Arnold Kriegstein, Michael Snyder and Jingjing Li | Summary: Proteins are the functional effectors of virtually all biological processes, and accurately measuring their abundance and dynamics is essential for understanding development and disease. Although […]

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Craig Liddicoat, Bart A Eijkelkamp, Timothy R Cavagnaro, Jake M Robinson, Kiri Joy Wallace, Andrew D Barnes, Garth Harmsworth, Damien J Keating, Robert A Edwards and Martin F Breed | Summary: The global rise in human allergic and autoimmune diseases is linked to altered environmental microbiome exposures from increasing […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Keiser | Authors: Benjamin Orr, Stephanie E Crilly, Deniz Akpinaroglu, Eleanor Zhu, Michael J. Keiser and Tanja Kortemme | Summary: Nature uses structural variations on protein folds to fine-tune the geometries of proteins for diverse functions, yet deep learning-based de novo protein design methods generate highly regular, idealized protein fold geometries that […]

Kavli Affiliate: Arnold R. Kriegstein | Authors: Chujing Zhang, Eugene Gil, Sajad Hamid Ahanger, Mingcong Li, Li Wang, Eric J. Huang, Jingjing Li, Arnold R. Kriegstein and Daniel A. Lim | Summary: Approximately 30-40% of the human genome is anchored to the nuclear lamina (NL) through variably sized (10 kb-10 Mb) lamina-associated domains (LADs), which […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Anna Lebedeva, Friedrich Kling, Benjamin Rakela, Michael P Stryker and Yujiao Jennifer Sun | Summary: Experience-dependent plasticity in the adult visual cortex is enhanced by locomotion, a process mediated by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-expressing interneurons. While VIP interneurons are known to signal through both Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and VIP […]
