  • 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 ...
  • Neurobiological mechanisms underlying episodic memory retrieval 
    Roy, Dheeraj (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    Memory is a central function of the brain and is essential to everyday life. Memory disorders range from those of memory transience, such as Alzheimer's disease, to those of memory persistence, such as post-traumatic stress ...
