Deep Learning Improves Parameter Estimation in Reinforcement Learning Models

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Hua-Dong Xiong, Li Ji-An, Marcelo G Mattar and Robert C Wilson | Summary: Cognitive modeling in psychology and neuroscience provides a formal approach to formulate and test hypotheses of cognitive processes. Such models rely on cognitive parameters that are intended to represent interpretable and identifiable psychological constructs. However, accurately […]

Spectral disruption of inter-hemispheric resting-state BOLD coherence at vasomotor frequency (~0.1 Hz) links vascular dysfunction to functional connectivity loss in carotid artery stenosis

Kavli Affiliate: David Kleinfeld | Authors: Sangcheon Choi, Gabriel Hoffmann, Sebastian Schneider, Stephan Kaczmarz, David Kleinfeld, Xin Yu, Christian Sorg and Christine Preibisch | Summary: Vasomotor dynamics at the infra-slow frequencies (~0.1 Hz), driven by synchronized oscillation of smooth muscle cells in vessel walls, play an important role in regulating cerebral perfusion and constitute a […]

Accept-reject decision-making revealed via a quantitative and ethological study of C. elegans foraging

Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani | Authors: Jessica A Haley, Tianyi Chen, Mikio Aoi and Sreekanth H Chalasani | Summary: Decision-making is a ubiquitous component of animal behavior that is often studied in the context of foraging. Foragers make a series of decisions while locating food (food search), choosing between food types (diet or patch choice), […]

Architecture, Activation, and Conformational Plasticity in the GluA4 AMPA Receptor

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Huganir | Authors: William Dylan Hale, Richard L. Huganir and Edward C Twomey | Summary: AMPA-subtype glutamate receptors (AMPARs), composed of subunits GluA1-4, mediate fast, excitatory synaptic transmission in the brain. After glutamate binding, AMPAR ion channels exhibit multiple subconductance states that tune neuronal responses to glutamate. GluA4 is the rarest subunit […]

Clover-like object vector representations support human spatial cognition

Kavli Affiliate: Jonathan Whitlock | Authors: Marcia Becu, Ivan Markel Krasovec, Pearl Saldanha, Jonathan Whitlock and Christian F Doeller | Summary: Vector-based spatial coding has been demonstrated in rodents, yet its neural basis in humans and its contribution to navigation remain poorly understood. Using a novel spatial updating task, we show that egocentric directional signals […]

Credit Assignment via Behavioral Timescale Synaptic Plasticity: Theoretical Frameworks

Kavli Affiliate: Rui Costa | Authors: Ian Cone, Claudia Clopath and Rui Ponte Costa | Summary: Behavioral Timescale Synaptic Plasticity (BTSP) is a form of synaptic plasticity in which dendritic Ca2+ plateau potentials in hippocampal pyramidal neurons drive rapid place field formation. Unlike traditional learning rules, BTSP learns correlations on the timescales of seconds and […]
