    • Activation of the hypothalamic feeding centre upon visual prey detection 

      Muto, Akira; Lal, Pradeep; Ailani, Deepak; Abe, Gembu; Itoh, Mari; Kawakami, Koichi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The visual system plays a major role in food/prey recognition in diurnal animals, and food intake is regulated by the hypothalamus. However, whether and how visual information about prey is conveyed to the hypothalamic ...

    • Behavior-dependent directional tuning in the human visual-navigation network 

      Nau, Matthias (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The brain derives cognitive maps from sensory experience that guide memory formation and behavior. Despite extensive efforts, it still remains unclear how the underlying population activity unfolds during spatial navigation ...

    • Behavioral decomposition reveals rich encoding structure employed across neocortex in rats 

      Mimica, Bartul; Tombaz, Tuce; Battistin, Claudia; Fuglstad, Jingyi Guo; Dunn, Benjamin Adric; Whitlock, Jonathan Robert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The cortical population code is pervaded by activity patterns evoked by movement, but it remains largely unknown how such signals relate to natural behavior or how they might support processing in sensory cortices where ...

    • Glia-neuron interactions underlie state transitions to generalized seizures 

      Diaz Verdugo, Carmen; Myren-Svelstad, Sverre; Aydin, Ecem; Van Hoeymissen, Evelien; Deneubourg, Celine; Vanderhaeghe, Silke; Vancraeynest, Julie; Pelgrims, Robbrecht; Casacak, Mehmet Ilyas; Muto, Akira; Kawakami, Koichi; Jurisch-Yaksi, Nathalie; Yaksi, Emre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Brain activity and connectivity alter drastically during epileptic seizures. The brain networks shift from a balanced resting state to a hyperactive and hypersynchronous state. It is, however, less clear which mechanisms ...

    • Mental search of concepts is supported by egocentric vector representations and restructured grid maps 

      Viganò, Simone; Bayramova, Rena; Döller, Christian Fritz Andreas; Bottini, Roberto (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The human hippocampal-entorhinal system is known to represent both spatial locations and abstract concepts in memory in the form of allocentric cognitive maps. Using fMRI, we show that the human parietal cortex evokes ...

    • Mnemonic construction and representation of temporal structure in the hippocampal formation 

      Bellmund, Jacob Lukas Sarid; Deuker, Lorena; Montijn, Nicole D.; Doeller, Christian Fritz Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)

    • Perineuronal nets stabilize the grid cell network 

      Christensen, Ane Charlotte; Lensjø, Kristian Kinden; Lepperød, Mikkel Elle; Dragly, Svenn-Arne; Sutterud, Hallvard; Blackstad, Jan Sigurd; Fyhn, Marianne; Hafting, Torkel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Grid cells are part of a widespread network which supports navigation and spatial memory. Stable grid patterns appear late in development, in concert with extracellular matrix aggregates termed perineuronal nets (PNNs) ...

    • Perirhinal firing patterns are sustained across large spatial segments of the task environment 

      Bos, Jeroen J.; Vinck, Martin; van Mourik-Donga, Laura; Jackson, Jadin C.; Witter, Menno; Pennartz, Cyriel M.A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Spatial navigation and memory depend on the neural coding of an organism’s location. Fine-grained coding of location is thought to depend on the hippocampus. Likewise, animals benefit from knowledge parsing their environment ...

    • Sex differences in oncogenic mutational processes 

      Li, Constance H.; Prokopec, Stephenie D.; Sun, Ren X.; Yousif, Fouad; Schmitz, Nathaniel; Boutros, Paul C.; Aure, Miriam Ragle; Børresen-Dale, Anne-Lise; Langerød, Anita; Wright, Derek W.; Baumhoer, Daniel; Bjerkehagen, Bodil; Garred, Øystein; Lingjærde, Ole Christian; Sauer, Torill; Zaikova, Olga; Myklebost, Ola; Knappskog, Stian; Vazquez, Miguel; Van Loo, Peter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Sex differences have been observed in multiple facets of cancer epidemiology, treatment and biology, and in most cancers outside the sex organs. Efforts to link these clinical differences to specific molecular features ...
