  text: Motion tracking is a challenge the visual system has to solve by reading out
    the retinal population. It is still unclear how the information from different
    neurons can be combined together to estimate the position of an object. Here we
    recorded a large population of ganglion cells in a dense patch of salamander and
    guinea pig retinas while displaying a bar moving diffusively. We show that the
    bar’s position can be reconstructed from retinal activity with a precision in
    the hyperacuity regime using a linear decoder acting on 100+ cells. We then took
    advantage of this unprecedented precision to explore the spatial structure of
    the retina’s population code. The classical view would have suggested that the
    firing rates of the cells form a moving hill of activity tracking the bar’s position.
    Instead, we found that most ganglion cells in the salamander fired sparsely and
    idiosyncratically, so that their neural image did not track the bar. Furthermore,
    ganglion cell activity spanned an area much larger than predicted by their receptive
    fields, with cells coding for motion far in their surround. As a result, population
    redundancy was high, and we could find multiple, disjoint subsets of neurons that
    encoded the trajectory with high precision. This organization allows for diverse
    collections of ganglion cells to represent high-accuracy motion information in
    a form easily read out by downstream neural circuits.

  text: 'The activity of a neural network is defined by patterns of spiking and silence
    from the individual neurons. Because spikes are (relatively) sparse, patterns
    of activity with increasing numbers of spikes are less probable, but, with more
    spikes, the number of possible patterns increases. This tradeoff between probability
    and numerosity is mathematically equivalent to the relationship between entropy
    and energy in statistical physics. We construct this relationship for populations
    of up to N = 160 neurons in a small patch of the vertebrate retina, using a combination
    of direct and model-based analyses of experiments on the response of this network
    to naturalistic movies. We see signs of a thermodynamic limit, where the entropy
    per neuron approaches a smooth function of the energy per neuron as N increases.
    The form of this function corresponds to the distribution of activity being poised
    near an unusual kind of critical point. We suggest further tests of criticality,
    and give a brief discussion of its functional significance. '

  text: Bow-tie or hourglass structure is a common architectural feature found in
    many biological systems. A bow-tie in a multi-layered structure occurs when intermediate
    layers have much fewer components than the input and output layers. Examples include
    metabolism where a handful of building blocks mediate between multiple input nutrients
    and multiple output biomass components, and signaling networks where information
    from numerous receptor types passes through a small set of signaling pathways
    to regulate multiple output genes. Little is known, however, about how bow-tie
    architectures evolve. Here, we address the evolution of bow-tie architectures
    using simulations of multi-layered systems evolving to fulfill a given input-output
    goal. We find that bow-ties spontaneously evolve when the information in the evolutionary
    goal can be compressed. Mathematically speaking, bow-ties evolve when the rank
    of the input-output matrix describing the evolutionary goal is deficient. The
    maximal compression possible (the rank of the goal) determines the size of the
    narrowest part of the network—that is the bow-tie. A further requirement is that
    a process is active to reduce the number of links in the network, such as product-rule
    mutations, otherwise a non-bow-tie solution is found in the evolutionary simulations.
    This offers a mechanism to understand a common architectural principle of biological
    systems, and a way to quantitate the effective rank of the goals under which they
    evolved.

  text: Continuous-time Markov chains are commonly used in practice for modeling biochemical
    reaction networks in which the inherent randomness of themolecular interactions
    cannot be ignored. This has motivated recent research effort into methods for
    parameter inference and experiment design for such models. The major difficulty
    is that such methods usually require one to iteratively solve the chemical master
    equation that governs the time evolution of the probability distribution of the
    system. This, however, is rarely possible, and even approximation techniques remain
    limited to relatively small and simple systems. An alternative explored in this
    article is to base methods on only some low-order moments of the entire probability
    distribution. We summarize the theory behind such moment-based methods for parameter
    inference and experiment design and provide new case studies where we investigate
    their performance.

  text: 'The concept of positional information is central to our understanding of
    how cells determine their location in a multicellular structure and thereby their
    developmental fates. Nevertheless, positional information has neither been defined
    mathematically nor quantified in a principled way. Here we provide an information-theoretic
    definition in the context of developmental gene expression patterns and examine
    the features of expression patterns that affect positional information quantitatively.
    We connect positional information with the concept of positional error and develop
    tools to directly measure information and error from experimental data. We illustrate
    our framework for the case of gap gene expression patterns in the early Drosophila
    embryo and show how information that is distributed among only four genes is sufficient
    to determine developmental fates with nearly single-cell resolution. Our approach
    can be generalized to a variety of different model systems; procedures and examples
    are discussed in detail. '

  text: We typically think of cells as responding to external signals independently
    by regulating their gene expression levels, yet they often locally exchange information
    and coordinate. Can such spatial coupling be of benefit for conveying signals
    subject to gene regulatory noise? Here we extend our information-theoretic framework
    for gene regulation to spatially extended systems. As an example, we consider
    a lattice of nuclei responding to a concentration field of a transcriptional regulator
    (the &quot;input&quot;) by expressing a single diffusible target gene. When input
    concentrations are low, diffusive coupling markedly improves information transmission;
    optimal gene activation functions also systematically change. A qualitatively
    new regulatory strategy emerges where individual cells respond to the input in
    a nearly step-like fashion that is subsequently averaged out by strong diffusion.
    While motivated by early patterning events in the Drosophila embryo, our framework
    is generically applicable to spatially coupled stochastic gene expression models.

  text: Systems biology rests on the idea that biological complexity can be better
    unraveled through the interplay of modeling and experimentation. However, the
    success of this approach depends critically on the informativeness of the chosen
    experiments, which is usually unknown a priori. Here, we propose a systematic
    scheme based on iterations of optimal experiment design, flow cytometry experiments,
    and Bayesian parameter inference to guide the discovery process in the case of
    stochastic biochemical reaction networks. To illustrate the benefit of our methodology,
    we apply it to the characterization of an engineered light-inducible gene expression
    circuit in yeast and compare the performance of the resulting model with models
    identified from nonoptimal experiments. In particular, we compare the parameter
    posterior distributions and the precision to which the outcome of future experiments
    can be predicted. Moreover, we illustrate how the identified stochastic model
    can be used to determine light induction patterns that make either the average
    amount of protein or the variability in a population of cells follow a desired
    profile. Our results show that optimal experiment design allows one to derive
    models that are accurate enough to precisely predict and regulate the protein
    expression in heterogeneous cell populations over extended periods of time.

  text: 'Many stochastic models of biochemical reaction networks contain some chemical
    species for which the number of molecules that are present in the system can only
    be finite (for instance due to conservation laws), but also other species that
    can be present in arbitrarily large amounts. The prime example of such networks
    are models of gene expression, which typically contain a small and finite number
    of possible states for the promoter but an infinite number of possible states
    for the amount of mRNA and protein. One of the main approaches to analyze such
    models is through the use of equations for the time evolution of moments of the
    chemical species. Recently, a new approach based on conditional moments of the
    species with infinite state space given all the different possible states of the
    finite species has been proposed. It was argued that this approach allows one
    to capture more details about the full underlying probability distribution with
    a smaller number of equations. Here, I show that the result that less moments
    provide more information can only stem from an unnecessarily complicated description
    of the system in the classical formulation. The foundation of this argument will
    be the derivation of moment equations that describe the complete probability distribution
    over the finite state space but only low-order moments over the infinite state
    space. I will show that the number of equations that is needed is always less
    than what was previously claimed and always less than the number of conditional
    moment equations up to the same order. To support these arguments, a symbolic
    algorithm is provided that can be used to derive minimal systems of unconditional
    moment equations for models with partially finite state space. '

  text: Grounding autonomous behavior in the nervous system is a fundamental challenge
    for neuroscience. In particular, self-organized behavioral development provides
    more questions than answers. Are there special functional units for curiosity,
    motivation, and creativity? This paper argues that these features can be grounded
    in synaptic plasticity itself, without requiring any higher-level constructs.
    We propose differential extrinsic plasticity (DEP) as a new synaptic rule for
    self-learning systems and apply it to a number of complex robotic systems as a
    test case. Without specifying any purpose or goal, seemingly purposeful and adaptive
    rhythmic behavior is developed, displaying a certain level of sensorimotor intelligence.
    These surprising results require no systemspecific modifications of the DEP rule.
    They rather arise from the underlying mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking,which
    is due to the tight brain body environment coupling. The new synaptic rule is
    biologically plausible and would be an interesting target for neurobiological
    investigation. We also argue that this neuronal mechanism may have been a catalyst
    in natural evolution.

  text: 'Gene expression is controlled primarily by interactions between transcription
    factor proteins (TFs) and the regulatory DNA sequence, a process that can be captured
    well by thermodynamic models of regulation. These models, however, neglect regulatory
    crosstalk: the possibility that noncognate TFs could initiate transcription, with
    potentially disastrous effects for the cell. Here, we estimate the importance
    of crosstalk, suggest that its avoidance strongly constrains equilibrium models
    of TF binding, and propose an alternative nonequilibrium scheme that implements
    kinetic proofreading to suppress erroneous initiation. This proposal is consistent
    with the observed covalent modifications of the transcriptional apparatus and
    predicts increased noise in gene expression as a trade-off for improved specificity.
    Using information theory, we quantify this trade-off to find when optimal proofreading
    architectures are favored over their equilibrium counterparts. Such architectures
    exhibit significant super-Poisson noise at low expression in steady state.'

  text: Adaptation in the retina is thought to optimize the encoding of natural light
    signals into sequences of spikes sent to the brain. While adaptive changes in
    retinal processing to the variations of the mean luminance level and second-order
    stimulus statistics have been documented before, no such measurements have been
    performed when higher-order moments of the light distribution change. We therefore
    measured the ganglion cell responses in the tiger salamander retina to controlled
    changes in the second (contrast), third (skew) and fourth (kurtosis) moments of
    the light intensity distribution of spatially uniform temporally independent stimuli.
    The skew and kurtosis of the stimuli were chosen to cover the range observed in
    natural scenes. We quantified adaptation in ganglion cells by studying linear-nonlinear
    models that capture well the retinal encoding properties across all stimuli. We
    found that the encoding properties of retinal ganglion cells change only marginally
    when higher-order statistics change, compared to the changes observed in response
    to the variation in contrast. By analyzing optimal coding in LN-type models, we
    showed that neurons can maintain a high information rate without large dynamic
    adaptation to changes in skew or kurtosis. This is because, for uncorrelated stimuli,
    spatio-temporal summation within the receptive field averages away non-gaussian
    aspects of the light intensity distribution.

  text: It has been long argued that, because of inherent ambiguity and noise, the
    brain needs to represent uncertainty in the form of probability distributions.
    The neural encoding of such distributions remains however highly controversial.
    Here we present a novel circuit model for representing multidimensional real-valued
    distributions using a spike based spatio-temporal code. Our model combines the
    computational advantages of the currently competing models for probabilistic codes
    and exhibits realistic neural responses along a variety of classic measures. Furthermore,
    the model highlights the challenges associated with interpreting neural activity
    in relation to behavioral uncertainty and points to alternative population-level
    approaches for the experimental validation of distributed representations.

  text: 'Information processing in the sensory periphery is shaped by natural stimulus
    statistics. In the periphery, a transmission bottleneck constrains performance;
    thus efficient coding implies that natural signal components with a predictably
    wider range should be compressed. In a different regime—when sampling limitations
    constrain performance—efficient coding implies that more resources should be allocated
    to informative features that are more variable. We propose that this regime is
    relevant for sensory cortex when it extracts complex features from limited numbers
    of sensory samples. To test this prediction, we use central visual processing
    as a model: we show that visual sensitivity for local multi-point spatial correlations,
    described by dozens of independently-measured parameters, can be quantitatively
    predicted from the structure of natural images. This suggests that efficient coding
    applies centrally, where it extends to higher-order sensory features and operates
    in a regime in which sensitivity increases with feature variability.'

  text: 'Biopolymer length regulation is a complex process that involves a large number
    of biological, chemical, and physical subprocesses acting simultaneously across
    multiple spatial and temporal scales. An illustrative example important for genomic
    stability is the length regulation of telomeres - nucleoprotein structures at
    the ends of linear chromosomes consisting of tandemly repeated DNA sequences and
    a specialized set of proteins. Maintenance of telomeres is often facilitated by
    the enzyme telomerase but, particularly in telomerase-free systems, the maintenance
    of chromosomal termini depends on alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) mechanisms
    mediated by recombination. Various linear and circular DNA structures were identified
    to participate in ALT, however, dynamics of the whole process is still poorly
    understood. We propose a chemical kinetics model of ALT with kinetic rates systematically
    derived from the biophysics of DNA diffusion and looping. The reaction system
    is reduced to a coagulation-fragmentation system by quasi-steady-state approximation.
    The detailed treatment of kinetic rates yields explicit formulas for expected
    size distributions of telomeres that demonstrate the key role played by the J
    factor, a quantitative measure of bending of polymers. The results are in agreement
    with experimental data and point out interesting phenomena: an appearance of very
    long telomeric circles if the total telomere density exceeds a critical value
    (excess mass) and a nonlinear response of the telomere size distributions to the
    amount of telomeric DNA in the system. The results can be of general importance
    for understanding dynamics of telomeres in telomerase-independent systems as this
    mode of telomere maintenance is similar to the situation in tumor cells lacking
    telomerase activity. Furthermore, due to its universality, the model may also
    serve as a prototype of an interaction between linear and circular DNA structures
    in various settings.'

  text: 'Summary: Phenotypes are often environmentally dependent, which requires organisms
    to track environmental change. The challenge for organisms is to construct phenotypes
    using the most accurate environmental cue. Here, we use a quantitative genetic
    model of adaptation by additive genetic variance, within- and transgenerational
    plasticity via linear reaction norms and indirect genetic effects respectively.
    We show how the relative influence on the eventual phenotype of these components
    depends on the predictability of environmental change (fast or slow, sinusoidal
    or stochastic) and the developmental lag τ between when the environment is perceived
    and when selection acts. We then decompose expected mean fitness into three components
    (variance load, adaptation and fluctuation load) to study the fitness costs of
    within- and transgenerational plasticity. A strongly negative maternal effect
    coefficient m minimizes the variance load, but a strongly positive m minimises
    the fluctuation load. The adaptation term is maximized closer to zero, with positive
    or negative m preferred under different environmental scenarios. Phenotypic plasticity
    is higher when τ is shorter and when the environment changes frequently between
    seasonal extremes. Expected mean population fitness is highest away from highest
    observed levels of phenotypic plasticity. Within- and transgenerational plasticity
    act in concert to deliver well-adapted phenotypes, which emphasizes the need to
    study both simultaneously when investigating phenotypic evolution.'

    between non-interacting pathogen strains in an infinite population lead to the
    conclusion that selection favors invasion of new strains if and only if they have
    higher R0 values than the resident. Here we demonstrate that this picture fails
    in finite populations. Using a simple stochastic SIS model, we show that in general
    there is no analogous optimization principle. We find that successive invasions
    may in some cases lead to strains that infect a smaller fraction of the host population,
    and that mutually invasible pathogen strains exist. In the limit of weak selection
    we demonstrate that an optimization principle does exist, although it differs
    from R0 maximization. For strains with very large R0, we derive an expression
    for this local fitness function and use it to establish a lower bound for the
    error caused by neglecting stochastic effects. Furthermore, we apply this weak
    selection limit to investigate the selection dynamics in the presence of a trade-off
    between the virulence and the transmission rate of a pathogen.
