An Open-Source Tool for Automated Human-Level Circling Behavior Detection

Kavli Affiliate: Kathleen Cullen | Authors: Oliver R Stanley, Ananya Swaminathan, Elias Wojahn, Zubair M Ahmed and Kathleen E Cullen | Summary: Quantifying behavior and relating it to underlying biological states is of paramount importance in many life science fields. Although barriers to recording postural data have been reduced by progress in deep-learning-based computer vision […]

Glaucoma-associated Optineurin mutations increase transmitophagy in a vertebrate optic nerve

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Yaeram Jeong, chung-ha Davis, Aaron Muscarella, Viraj Deshpande, Keun-Young Kim, Mark Ellisman and Nicholas Marsh-Armstrong | Summary: We previously described a process referred to as transmitophagy where mitochondria shed by retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons are transferred to and degraded by surrounding astrocytes in the optic nerve head of […]

Population II Distance Indicators: RR Lyrae Variables, Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) Stars and J-Branch Asymptotic Giant Branch (JAGB/Carbon) Stars

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Barry F. Madore, Wendy L. Freedman, , , | Summary: We review the theoretical underpinnings, evolutionary status, calibrations and current applications of three bright Population II extragalactic distance indicators: Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) stars, RR Lyrae variables and J-Branch Asymptotic Giant Branch (JAGB/Carbon) […]
