State-Dependent Dissociation of Shared Input and Directed Information Flow in the Visual Cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Yuxuan Xue, Mitchell P Morton, Anirvan S Nandy and Monika P Jadi | Summary: Understanding how brain state and sensory input shape inter-laminar communication is essential for interpreting cortical population dynamics. Using laminar recordings in macaque V1, we apply reduced-rank regression to quantify low-dimensional predictive subspaces linking Input and […]

Afterimages drive a shared visual motion-reversal illusion in Drosophila

Kavli Affiliate: Damon Clark | Authors: Heng Wu, Tong Gou and Damon A. Clark | Summary: Illusions expose core computations in perception. In one visual apparent-motion illusion, perceptual direction is reversed when phase-shifted gratings are interleaved with uniform frames. Here, we demonstrate that Drosophila exhibits the same direction reversal reported in mammals. Combining behavior, targeted […]

Lysosomal swelling triggers LRRK2 activity

Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Fergusons | Authors: Tuyana Malankhanova, Zhiyong Liu, Samuel Strader, Weiping Wang, Ki Woon Sung, Zhong Li, Shawn M Ferguson and Andrew B West | Summary: LRRK2 is implicated in lysosomal functions, but the physiological upstream cues that engage endogenous LRRK2 activity are incompletely defined. Here we show that lysosomal swelling serves as […]
