New study shows hierarchical and nonhierarchical network architectures between areas of mouse visual cortex
The Burkhalter lab finds that areas are embedded within a hierarchical network in which image fragments from the retina are sent through bottom-up pathways to extract percepts, and top-down pathways from higher to lower areas provide prior knowledge for interpreting the visual scene.
Enhanced sleep improves learning and memory in flies with learning deficits
Paul Shaw’s lab demonstrates that sleep induction in fruit flies otherwise unable to perform learning and memory tasks rescues their behavioral performance.
Study identifies brain area that controls novelty seeking
Monosov lab demonstrates that neurons in the zona incerta are responsible for the motivation to seek novelty.
Collaborative team investigates protein that underlies CHARGE syndrome
The researchers find that loss of the CHD7 protein in mice lead to changes in gene regulation and abnormal brain folds, indicating possible mechanisms for the rare neurodevelopmental disorder.
