Analysis and control of untemplated DNA polymerase activity for guided synthesis of kilobase-scale DNA sequences

open access: yesNature Communications
DNA polymerases are complex molecular machines capable of replicating genetic material using a template-driven process. While the copying function of these enzymes is well established, their ability to perform untemplated DNA synthesis is less well ...

Linking Network Activity to Synaptic Plasticity during Sleep: Hypotheses and Recent Data

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2017
Research findings over the past two decades have supported a link between sleep states and synaptic plasticity. Numerous mechanistic hypotheses have been put forth to explain this relationship.

Comparing Theories for the Maintenance of Late LTP and Long-Term Memory: Computational Analysis of the Roles of Kinase Feedback Pathways and Synaptic Reactivation

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2020
A fundamental neuroscience question is how memories are maintained from days to a lifetime, given turnover of proteins that underlie expression of long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP) or “tag” synapses as eligible for LTP.

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.

Reaganoludography: The 1980s Japanese Digital Games in the Service of the United States

open access: yesReplay
This article examines the phenomenon in the 1980s Japanese gaming industry, labeled “Reaganoludography” due to its strong reliance on themes directly borrowed from American action cinema, known in Polish film studies as “Reaganomatography.” Using ...

Hippocampal place cells construct reward related sequences through unexplored space

open access: yeseLife, 2015
Dominant theories of hippocampal function propose that place cell representations are formed during an animal's first encounter with a novel environment and are subsequently replayed during off-line states to support consolidation and future behaviour ...

The Engram’s Dark Horse: How Interneurons Regulate State-Dependent Memory Processing and Plasticity

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
Brain states such as arousal and sleep play critical roles in memory encoding, storage, and recall. Recent studies have highlighted the role of engram neurons–populations of neurons activated during learning–in subsequent memory consolidation and recall.

Competitive Experience Replay

open access: yesCoRR, 2019
Deep learning has achieved remarkable successes in solving challenging reinforcement learning (RL) problems when dense reward function is provided. However, in sparse reward environment it still often suffers from the need to carefully shape reward function to guide policy optimization.
