A Spectrum of Time Horizons for Dopamine Signals

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Berke | Authors: Wei Wei, Ali Mohebi and Joshua Berke | Summary: Dopamine input to striatum can encode reward prediction error, a critical signal for updating predictions of future rewards. However, it is unclear how this mechanism handles the need to make predictions, and provide feedback, over multiple time horizons: from seconds […]

Repeated birth injuries lead to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and impairment in regeneration

Posted by klaurent UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Karen Christman | Authors: Pamela Duran, Emma Zelus, Saya French, Lindsey Burnett, Karen Christman and Marianna Alperin | Summary: Objectives: Childbirth is a key risk factor for pelvic floor muscle (PFM) injury and dysfunction, and subsequent pelvic floor disorders (PFDs). Multiparity further exacerbates these risks. Using the pre-clinical rat model of simulated birth […]

The NICER “Reverberation Machine”: A Systematic Study of Time Lags in Black Hole X-Ray Binaries

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Jingyi Wang, Erin Kara, Matteo Lucchini, Adam Ingram, Michiel van der Klis | Summary: We perform the first systematic search of all NICER archival observations of black hole (and candidate) low-mass X-ray binaries for signatures of reverberation. Reverberation lags result from the light travel time difference between […]

Subnanometer Accuracy of Surface Characterization by Reflected-Light Differential Interference Microscopy

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Ka Hung Chan, Shengwang Du, Xian Chen, , | Summary: We theorize the surface step characterization by reflected incoherent-light differential interference microscopy with consideration of the optical diffraction effect. With the integration of localization analysis, we develop a quantitative differential interference optical system, by which we demonstrate […]

DDDM: a Brain-Inspired Framework for Robust Classification

Posted by klaurent UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Xiyuan Chen, Xingyu Li, Yi Zhou, Tianming Yang, | Summary: Despite their outstanding performance in a broad spectrum of real-world tasks, deep artificial neural networks are sensitive to input noises, particularly adversarial perturbations. On the contrary, human and animal brains are much less vulnerable. In contrast to […]
