The behavioral and neurophysiological effects of eye movements on holistic scene memory have been extensively demonstrated\, yet it remains elusive how visual identity representations dynamically unfold in active vision. It is known that some neurons in the human medial temporal lobe exhibit highly selective tuning to abstract concepts. We thus leveraged the unique opportunity to record single-unit activity from individuals with epilepsy and probed the response of identity neurons during visual exploration in different memory stages. We designed a novel gaze-contingent visuospatial memory task\, where patients encoded images in a spatial layout with the presentation of images triggered by saccades to cued locations. They subsequently re-explored the layout in the same gaze-contingent manner and were then tasked with judging visuospatial match/mismatch\, constituting the retrieval condition. We hypothesized that\, during retrieval\, identity neurons would fire before the onset of their preferred image and saccade initiation. This anticipatory firing would reflect the learned association between image identity and planned saccade landing location. We found preliminary evidence that identity neurons increased their firing rate before image onset\, selectively during retrieval but not encoding. Given the gaze-contingent design\, the observed phenomenon cannot be explained by peripheral visual afference and/or receptive field remapping. Our data suggests that visual identity representations are reactivated prior to foveal processing. The findings hint at a novel mechanism for memory-guided eye movements which may underlie the functional enhancement of memory retrieval brought by gaze reinstatement.\nSupervisor Name: Taufik Valiante; José Zariffa; Lucia Melloni (MPG)\nYear of Study: 2\nProgram of Study: PhD\nPowered by Calendly.com

Serum proteins adsorbed to the nanoparticle surface can direct interactions with the liver. We used a multi-omic strategy to identify the adsorbed serum proteins binding to specific liver macrophage cell receptors. We discovered six serum adsorbed proteins or opsonins that bind two liver macrophage receptors. We named these nanoparticle-binding ligands Receptor-Active Corona Opsonins (RACOs). We further determined the nanoparticle design can influence the probability of one of the six serum proteins adsorbing to the surface\, which leads to a high probability of its binding to RACOs for removal from circulation by the liver. The identification of these six serum corona proteins enabled us to precisely design decoy nanoparticles to prime the liver to decrease the uptake of therapeutic nanoparticles\, leading to more nanoparticles for targeting extrahepatic tissues. Thus\, the elucidation of the molecular interactions governing the nanoparticle journey in vivo will enable us to control the delivery of particles to diseased tissues.\nSupervisor Name: Warren Chan\nYear of Study: 2\nProgram of Study: PhD\nPowered by Calendly.com
