The LCO Outbursting Objects Key Project: Overview and Year 1 Status

Kavli Affiliate: Geza Gyuk | Summary:The LCO Outbursting Objects Key (LOOK) Project uses the telescopes of the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) Network to: (1) to systematically monitor a sample of Dynamically New Comets over the whole sky, and (2) use alerts from existing sky surveys to rapidly respond to and characterize detected outburst activity in […]

X-ray performance of critical-angle transmission grating prototypes for the Arcus mission

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Heilmann | Summary:Arcus is a proposed soft x-ray grating spectrometer Explorer. It aims to explore cosmic feedback by mapping hot gases within and between galaxies and galaxy clusters and characterizing jets and winds from supermassive black holes, and to investigate the dynamics of protoplanetary discs and stellar accretion. Arcus features 12 m-focal-length […]

Dynamic top-down biasing implements rapid adaptive changes to individual movements

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Brainard | Authors: Lucas Y Tian, Timothy L Warren and Michael S Brainard | Summary: Complex behaviors depend on the coordinated activity of neural ensembles in interconnected brain areas. The behavioral function of such coordination, often measured as co-fluctuations in neural activity across areas, is poorly understood. One hypothesis is that rapidly […]

Phencyclidine and methamphetamine cause cognitive deficits by changing pyramidal neuron transmitter identity in the prefrontal cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Nicholas Spitzer | Authors: Marta Pratelli, Arth Thaker, Huiquan Li, Swetha Godavarthi and Nicholas C. Spitzer | Summary: Decreased cognitive ability is a major consequence of exposure to drugs of abuse, but the underlying neuroplastic changes have been elusive. We show that both phencyclidine and methamphetamine cause a population of prelimbic pyramidal neurons […]

Sex-specific age-related changes in excitatory and inhibitory intra-cortical circuits in mouse primary auditory cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Binghan Xue, Joseph P-Y Kao and Patrick O Kanold | Summary: A common impairment in aging is age-related hearing loss (presbycusis), which manifests as impaired spectrotemporal processing. Aging is accompanied by alteration in normal inhibitory (GABA) neurotransmission and changes in excitatory (NMDA and AMPA) synapses in the auditory cortex […]

ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions — XI. From inflow to infall in hub-filament systems

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Jian-Wen Zhou, Tie Liu, Neal J. Evans II, Guido Garay, Paul F. Goldsmith | Summary: We investigate the presence of hub-filament systems in a large sample of 146 active proto-clusters, using H$^{13}$CO$^{+}$ J=1-0 molecular line data obtained from the ATOMS survey. We find that filaments are ubiquitous […]
