Loss of Neurodevelopmental Gene CASK Disrupts Neural Connectivity in Human Cortical Excitatory Neurons

Posted by klaurent February 15, 2022March 7, 2022Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Jin Kang | Authors: McSweeney, Rafael Gabriel, Kang Jin, Zhiping P. Pang, Bruce Aronow and ChangHui Pak | Summary: Loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in CASK cause severe developmental phenotypes, including microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia, X-linked intellectual disability, and autism. Unraveling the pathogenesis of CASK-related disorders has been challenging due to limited human […]

The halo bispectrum as a sensitive probe of massive neutrinos and baryon physics

Posted by klaurent February 15, 2022Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Victoria Yankelevich, Ian G. McCarthy, Juliana Kwan, Sam G. Stafford, Jia Liu | Summary: The power spectrum has been a workhorse for cosmological studies of large-scale structure. However, the present-day matter distribution is highly non-Gaussian and significant cosmological information is also contained in higher-order correlation functions. Meanwhile, […]

Evidence for a spinon Kondo effect in cobalt atoms on single-layer 1T-TaSe$_2$

Posted by klaurent February 15, 2022Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Yi Chen, Wen-Yu He, Wei Ruan, Jinwoong Hwang, Shujie Tang | Summary: Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are highly entangled, disordered magnetic states that arise in frustrated Mott insulators and host exotic fractional excitations such as spinons and chargons. Despite being charge insulators some QSLs are predicted to […]

State transfers in vertex complemented coronas

Posted by klaurent February 15, 2022Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Xiaogang Liu, , , | Summary: In this paper, we study the existence of perfect state transfer and pretty good state transfer in vertex complemented coronas. We prove that perfect state transfer in vertex complemented coronas is extremely rare. In contrast, we give sufficient conditions […]

Insulin/IGF Signaling Regulates Presynaptic Glutamate Release in Aversive Olfactory Learning

Posted by klaurent February 15, 2022March 7, 2022Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Cornelia Bargmann | Authors: Du Cheng, James Lee, Maximillian Brown, Margaret S. Ebert, Masahiro Tomioka, Yuichi Iino and Cornelia I Bargmann | Summary: Information flow through neural circuits is continuously modified by context-dependent learning. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, pairing specific odors with food deprivation results in aversion to the odor. Here we […]
