    Abstract Animals can learn efficiently from a single experience and change their future behavior in response. However, in other instances, animals learn very slowly, requiring thousands of experiences. Here, I survey tasks involving fast and slow learning and consider some hypotheses for what differentiates the underlying neural mechanisms. It has been proposed that fast learning relies on neural representations that favor efficient Hebbian modification of synapses. These efficient representations may be encoded in the genome, resulting in a repertoire of fast learning that differs across species. Alternatively, the required neural representations may be acquired from experience through a slow process of unsupervised learning from the environment.

    Abstract The superior colliculus (SC) represents a major visual processing station in the mammalian brain that receives input from many types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). How many parallel channels exist in the SC, and what information does each encode? Here, we recorded from mouse superficial SC neurons under a battery of visual stimuli including those used for classification of RGCs. An unsupervised clustering algorithm identified 24 functional types based on their visual responses. They fall into two groups: one that responds similarly to RGCs and another with more diverse and specialized stimulus selectivity. The second group is dominant at greater depths, consistent with a vertical progression of signal processing in the SC. Cells of the same functional type tend to cluster near each other in anatomical space. Compared to the retina, the visual representation in the SC has lower dimensionality, consistent with a sifting process along the visual pathway.

    Abstract Contact tracing is a key tool for managing epidemic diseases like HIV, tuberculosis, COVID-19, and monkeypox. Manual investigations by human-contact tracers remain a dominant way in which this is carried out. This process is limited by the number of contact tracers available, who are often overburdened during an outbreak or epidemic. As a result, a crucial decision in any contact tracing strategy is, given a set of contacts, which person should a tracer trace next? In this work, we develop a formal model that articulates these questions and provides a framework for comparing contact tracing strategies. Through analyzing our model, we give provably optimal prioritization policies via a clean connection to a tool from operations research called a "branching bandit". Examining these policies gives qualitative insight into trade-offs in contact tracing applications.

    Abstract Multi-electrode arrays serve to record electrical signals of many neurons in the brain simultaneously. For most of the past century, electrodes that penetrate brain tissue have had exactly one shape: a straight needle. Certainly this was a good starting choice at the time, but there is no reason to think that a straight line would be the optimal shape in all Neuroscience applications. Here I argue that, in fact, a wide variety of curved shapes is equally practical: all possible helices. I discuss the manufacture and manipulation of such devices, and illustrate a few use cases where they will likely outperform conventional needles. With some collective action from the research community, curved arrays could be manufactured and distributed at low cost.

    Abstract The entorhinal cortex, a brain area critical for memory, contains neurons that fire when a rodent is in a certain location (eg, grid cells), or when a monkey looks at certain locations. In rodents, these spatial representations align to visual objects in the environment by firing when the animal is in a preferred location defined by relative position of visual environmental features. Recently, our laboratory found that simultaneously recorded entorhinal neurons in monkeys can exhibit different spatial reference frames for gaze position, including a reference frame of visual environmental features. We also discovered that most of the neurons represent gaze position. These results suggest that gaze information in multiple spatial reference frames is a potent signal used in the primate memory system. Here, I describe how these findings support three underappreciated views of the hippocampal memory system.

    Abstract The Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes metabolize a variety of drugs, which may potentially lead to toxicity or reduced efficacy when drugs are co-administered. These drug-drug interactions are often manifested by CYP3A4, the most prevalent of all CYP isozymes. We carried out multiple MD simulations employing CAVER to quantify the channels, and Hidden Markov Models (HMM) to characterize the behavior of the gating residues. We discuss channel properties, bottleneck residues with respect to their likelihood to deem the respective channel ingress or egress, gating residues regarding their open or closed states, and channel location relative to the membrane. Channels do not display coordinated motion and randomly transition between different conformations. Gateway residues also behave in a random fashion. Our findings shed light on the equilibrium behavior of the gating residues and channels in the apo state.
