Corrsin lecture on hairy hydrodynamics
(American Physical Society (APS), 2019-11)Flexible slender structures in flow are everywhere. While a great deal is known about individual flexible fibers interacting with fluids, considerably less work has been done on fiber ensembles, such as fur or hair, in ... -
Corruption in Developing Countries
(Annual Reviews, 2012-04)Recent years have seen a remarkable expansion in economists' ability to measure corruption. This in turn has led to a new generation of well-identified, microeconomic studies. We review the evidence on corruption in ... -
Corsetto: A Kinesthetic Garment for Designing, Composing for, and Experiencing an Intersubjective Haptic Voice
(ACM|Proceedings of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2023-04-19) -
The cortical analysis of speech-specific temporal structure revealed by responses to sound quilts
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-05)Speech contains temporal structure that the brain must analyze to enable linguistic processing. To investigate the neural basis of this analysis, we used sound quilts, stimuli constructed by shuffling segments of a natural ... -
Cortical circuits for the control of attention
(Elsevier, 2012-12)How are some thoughts favored over others? A wealth of data at the level of single neurons has yielded candidate brain areas and mechanisms for our best-understood model: visual attention. Recent work has naturally evolved ... -
Cortical column and whole-brain imaging with molecular contrast and nanoscale resolution
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2019)© 2019 American Association for the Advancement of Science. All Rights Reserved. Optical and electron microscopy have made tremendous inroads toward understanding the complexity of the brain. However, optical microscopy ... -

The cortical connectome of primate lateral prefrontal cortex
(Elsevier BV, 2021-11)The lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) of primates plays an important role in executive control, but how it interacts with the rest of the cortex remains unclear. To address this, we densely mapped the cortical connectome ... -

Cortical Control of Affective Networks
(Society for Neuroscience, 2013-01)Transcranial magnetic stimulation and deep brain stimulation have emerged as therapeutic modalities for treatment refractory depression; however, little remains known regarding the circuitry that mediates the therapeutic ... -
Cortical Dynein and Asymmetric Membrane Elongation Coordinately Position the Spindle in Anaphase
(Elsevier, 2013-07)Mitotic spindle position defines the cell-cleavage site during cytokinesis. However, the mechanisms that control spindle positioning to generate equal-sized daughter cells remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate ... -
Cortical enhanced tissue segmentation of neonatal brain MR images acquired by a dedicated phased array coil
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-08)The acquisition of high quality MR images of neonatal brains is largely hampered by their characteristically small head size and low tissue contrast. As a result, subsequent image processing and analysis, especially for ... -
Cortical ensembles orchestrate social competition through hypothalamic outputs
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)Most social species self-organize into dominance hierarchies1,2, which decreases aggression and conserves energy3,4, but it is not clear how individuals know their social rank. We have only begun to learn how the brain ... -
Cortical Folding Patterns and Predicting Cytoarchitecture
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2007-12)The human cerebral cortex is made up of a mosaic of structural areas, frequently referred to as Brodmann areas (BAs). Despite the widespread use of cortical folding patterns to perform ad hoc estimations of the locations ... -
Cortical GABAergic neurons: stretching it
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012-05)In the cerebellum and basal ganglia, projection neurons are GABAergic; but in the cerebral cortex, there has been a historically strong dichotomy between glutamatergic projection neurons and GABAergic local circuit neurons. ... -
Cortical gray-matter thinning is associated with age-related improvements on executive function tasks
(Elsevier, 2013-07)Across development children show marked improvement in their executive functions (EFs), including the ability to hold information in working memory and to deploy cognitive control, allowing them to ignore prepotent responses ... -
Cortical Hypersynchrony Predicts Breakdown of Sensory Processing during Loss of Consciousness
(Elsevier, 2011-11)Intrinsic cortical dynamics modulates the processing of sensory information and therefore may be critical for conscious perception [1, 2 and 3]. We tested this hypothesis by electroencephalographic recording of ongoing and ... -
Cortical information flow during flexible sensorimotor decisions
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2015-06)During flexible behavior, multiple brain regions encode sensory inputs, the current task, and choices. It remains unclear how these signals evolve. We simultaneously recorded neuronal activity from six cortical regions ... -
Cortical microtubule nucleation can organise the cytoskeleton of Drosophila oocytes to define the anteroposterior axis
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd., 2015-09)Many cells contain non-centrosomal arrays of microtubules (MTs), but the assembly, organisation and function of these arrays are poorly understood. We present the first theoretical model for the non-centrosomal MT cytoskeleton ... -
A cortical motor nucleus drives the basal ganglia-recipient thalamus in singing birds
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012-02)The pallido-recipient thalamus transmits information from the basal ganglia to the cortex and is critical for motor initiation and learning. Thalamic activity is strongly inhibited by pallidal inputs from the basal ganglia, ...
