Abstract Submission Opens April 9

Scientists from all over the world will gather in Washington, D.C. this October for SfN's 50^th Annual Meeting. The abstract submission period for Neuroscience 2020 opens April 9, but it's not too early to start preparing. Review the abstract submission rules and submission instructions to help prepare your abstract.

Figure 1. Task design and behavioral clustering. a, Hybrid spatial-episodic memory task in which subjects play the role of a courier. On each trial, subjects navigate to 12 different target stores to deliver parcels. Upon arrival, the just-delivered object is revealed. After 12 deliveries, subjects navigate to a final store. Here, the screen goes black and subjects attempt to freely recall all objects they delivered in any order. b, Bird's-eye view of the virtual city. Overlaid are store names together with a toy example list. For each recall transition, we calculate a spatial clustering score (SCS) and temporal clustering score (TCS) between 0 and 100 that reflects the spatial or temporal proximity between the recalled words during encoding. c, Clustering in recall sequences. Subjects organize their recalls with respect to spatial and temporal context information, as indicated by spatial and temporal clustering scores larger than the permutation average indicated by the dashed lines (higher scores are associated with closer recall transitions; see Materials and Methods). Error bars show SEM across subjects. Spatial and temporal clustering are uncorrelated across subjects (inset).

Reactivated Spatial Context Guides Episodic Recall

Hippocampal theta phase modulates parahippocampal gamma amplitude during recall of spatial context

Diaphragm function was significantly restored by PAP4 following C2 hemisection. At eight weeks after injury, EMG recordings were assessed from uninjured, DMSO-treated hemisection, and PAP4-treated hemisection groups. EMG amplitudes were recorded at three subregions of the hemidiaphragm: dorsal, medial, and ventral regions (D). Both DMSO-treated and PAP4-treated groups were compared to intact (laminectomy-only) animals. Representative EMG traces from the ventral region of the diaphragm show that compared to laminectomy-only animals (A, A’), DMSO-treated rats (B, B’) had a significant decrease in inspiratory EMG burst amplitude at eight weeks after injury. Animals treated with PAP4 (C, C’) showed significant recovery of EMG amplitude following injury. Quantification of EMG recordings at the three hemidiaphragm regions (E). Ventral subregion EMG burst frequency was unaffected by PAP4 treatment (F). EMG duty cycle was increased by PAP4 (G). *p < 0.05. **p < 0.01. ***p < 0.001. ns, not significant p ≥ 0.05.
