Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Narayan Sankaran, Matthew K Leonard, Frederic E Theunissen and Edward F Chang | Summary: Melody is a core component of music in which discrete pitches are serially arranged to convey emotion and meaning. Perception of melody varies along several pitch-based dimensions: (1) the absolute pitch of notes, (2) the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Yackle | Authors: Alastair MacDonald and Kevin Yacklei | Summary: Intonation in speech is the control of vocal pitch to layer expressive meaning to communication, like increasing pitch to indicate a question. Also, stereotyped patterns of pitch are used to create distinct “words”, like the ten sounds in the murine lexicon. A […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zachary Knight & Jeffrey M. Friedman | Authors: Christin Kosse, Jessica Ivanov, Zachary Knight, Kyle Pellegrino and Jeffrey Friedman | Summary: The brain processes an array of stimuli enabling the selection of an appropriate behavioural response but the underlying circuitry linking inputs to outputs is unknown. Here we delineate a subcortical circuit in […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Wendy Xin, Megumi Kaneko, Richard H Roth, Albert Zhang, Sonia Nocera, Jun B Ding, Michael P Stryker and Jonah R Chan | Summary: BACKGROUND: Developmental myelination is a protracted process in the mammalian brain. One theory for why oligodendrocytes mature so slowly posits that myelination may stabilize neuronal circuits […]
Kavli Affiliate: Reza Abbasi Asl | Authors: Robert Cahill, Yu Wang, Alex Lee, Hongkui Zeng, Bin Yu, Bosiljka Tasic and Reza Abbasi-Asl | Summary: The growth of large-scale spatial gene expression data requires new computational tools to extract major trends in gene expression in their native spatial context. Here, we describe an unsupervised and interpretable […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip Starr | Authors: Bahman Abdi-Sargezeh, Sepehr Shirani, Abhinav Sharma, Philip Starr, Simon Little and Ashwini Oswal | Summary: Neural activities within the beta frequency range (13-30 Hz) are not stationary, but occur in transient packets known as beta bursts. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the occurrence of beta bursts of increased […]
