Kavli Affiliate: Jeremiah Cohen | Authors: Zhixiao Su and Jeremiah Y. Cohen | Summary: Abstract The cerebral cortex generates flexible behavior by learning. Reinforcement learning is thought to be driven by error signals in midbrain dopamine neurons. However, they project more densely to basal ganglia than cortex, leaving open the possibility of another source of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Menno Witter, Jonathan Whitlock | Authors: Karoline Hovde, Ida V. Rautio, Andrea Marie Hegstad, Menno P. Witter and Jonathan R. Whitlock | Summary: Abstract The mammalian visual system can be broadly divided into two functional processing pathways: a dorsal stream supporting visually and spatially guided actions, and a ventral stream enabling object recognition. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rene Hen | Authors: Sebnem N. Tuncdemir, Andres D. Grosmark, Hannah Chung, Victor M. Luna, Clay O. Lacefield, Attila Losonczy and Rene Hen | Summary: Abstract The hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) exhibits a unique form of neural plasticity that results from continuous integration of adult born neurons, referred to as ‘adult neurogenesis’. Recent […]
Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Christian Boyd, Yonit Hochberg, Yonatan Kahn, Eric David Kramer, Noah Kurinsky | Summary: Direct detection for sub-GeV dark matter is developing rapidly, with many novel experimental ideas and theoretical methods emerging. In this work, we extend the dielectric formalism for dark matter scattering to incorporate anisotropic material […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Adam J. Fleisher, Zeeshan Ahmed, Tobias Herman, Matthew R. Hartings, | Summary: We report a precision realization of photonic thermometry using dual-comb spectroscopy to interrogate a $pi$-phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating. We achieve read-out stability of 7.5 mK at 1 s and resolve temperature changes of similar magnitude–sufficient […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Canxun Zhang, Tiancong Zhu, Salman Kahn, Tomohiro Soejima, Kenji Watanabe | Summary: Moir’e systems made from stacked two-dimensional materials host novel correlated and topological states that can be electrically controlled via applied gate voltages. We have used this technique to manipulate Chern domains in an interaction-driven […]

Oren, Emily Lorenzen, Tea Dodig-Crnković, Mizuho Horioka-Duplix, Thomas Huber, Jochen M. Schwenk and Thomas P. Sakmar | Summary: Abstract Cholestatic itch is a severe and debilitating symptom in liver diseases with limited treatment options. The class A G protein-coupled […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed | Summary: The $L_{mu}-L_{tau}$ extension of the standard model predicts the existence of a lepton-flavor-universality-violating $Z^{prime}$ boson that couples only to the heavier lepton families. We search for such a $Z^prime$ through its invisible decay in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Midya Parto, Christian Leefmans, James Williams, Franco Nori, Alireza Marandi | Summary: Topology is central to phenomena that arise in a variety of fields, ranging from quantum field theory to quantum information science to condensed matter physics. Recently, the study of topology has been extended to open […]
