  • Detecting the inclusion and exclusion of a neuronal XDP-associated microexon in situ 
    Ondik, Mercedes Maye (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    X-linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP), also known as torsion dystonia type 3 (DYT3), afflicts hundreds of individuals. Under an X-linked mode of inheritance, the DYT3 haplotype occurs in Filipino populations and is of the ...
  • A prefrontal source of visual target enhancement in the macaque area V4 
    Ghadooshahy, Azriel (Azriel Sion) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    The ventral pre-arcuate area (VPA) in the primate prefrontal cortex has recently been found to play an important role in feature-based selection of visual targets in the context of a naturalistic free-gaze visual search ...
  • The amygdala in value-guided decision making 
    Jaime-Bustamante, Kean (Kean Willyams) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    The amygdala is a structure well known for its role in fear and reward learning, but how these mechanisms are used for decision-making is not well understood. Decision-making involves the rapid updating of cue associations ...
  • Memory and locality in natural language 
    Futrell, Richard Landy Jones (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    I explore the hypothesis that the universal properties of human languages can be explained in terms of efficient communication given fixed human information processing constraints. I argue that under short-term memory ...
  • Interrogation of CRISPR-Cas targeting specificity for mammalian genome engineering 
    Scott, David (David Arthur) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    Class II CRISPR-Cas RNA programmable DNA endonucleases enable high efficiency genome editing across the biological diversity for research, industrial, and biomedical applications. Human genome editing with CRISPR-Cas just ...
