How the Brain Accumulates Evidence during Decision-Making
How the Brain Accumulates Evidence during Decision-Making. Making good decisions requires evidence accumulation, in which newly acquired information is used to update beliefs and select future actions...
Independent Encoding of Spatial and Nonspatial Factors in Parietal Cortex
David Freedman and Chris Rishel discuss their work examining the RELATIONSHIP between spatial and non-spatial cognitive signals in posterior parietal cortex. During performance of a visual categorizat...
Wnts come in small packages - Wnts are signaling molecules important for development and neuronal functions. Watch and listen as Vivian Budnik and her colleagues take you on a brief personally guided...
Li et al. show that thalamocortical neurotransmission is required for the normal columnar, laminar, morphologic, and molecular-genetic development of sensory cortex....
Liam Redgrave, Sam Sutton, Mark Webber, and Laura Piddock discuss bacterial resistance to fluoroquinolones. They explore how fluoroquinolones target bacterial type II topoisomerases to interfere with ...
This video is of the model furrow formation, which captures the lengthening and shortening dynamics that are observed in vivo. The color bar shows the forces that are active in the model furrow....
Previous genome-wide association studies identified CD33 as a Alzheimer's disease risk gene. Through examination of human samples and mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, Griciuc et al. uncover a nove...
Exploring Astrocyte Diversity in Neural Circuits. Chai, Díaz-Castro et al. briefly highlight methods used to explore astrocytes in the hippocampus and striatum. The data show that astrocytes are disti...
