Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex and Basolateral Amygdala Projections to Ventromedial Striatum Encode Active Avoidance Behavior

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Lisa Gunaydin | Authors: Teagan E Bullock and Lisa A. Gunaydin | Summary: Active avoidance is a fundamental defensive behavior, defined as performing a voluntary action to escape a noxious stimulus. Active avoidance serves as an adaptive response to threat, ensuring safety. In individuals with anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder, avoidance behavior […]

What can galaxy shapes tell us about physics beyond the standard model?

Posted by dbos Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Oliver H. E. Philcox, Morgane J. König, Stephon Alexander, David N. Spergel, | Summary: The shapes of galaxies trace scalar physics in the late-Universe through the large-scale gravitational potential. Are they also sensitive to higher-spin physics? We present a general study into the observational consequences of […]

Taking the Milky Way for a spin: disc formation in the ARTEMIS simulations

Posted by Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Adam M. Dillamore, Vasily Belokurov, Andrey Kravtsov, Andreea S. Font, | Summary: We investigate the formation (spin-up) of galactic discs in the ARTEMIS simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies. In almost all galaxies discs spin up at higher [Fe/H] than the Milky Way (MW). Those that contain an […]

Sympathetic Mechanism for Vibrational Condensation Enabled by Polariton Optomechanical Interaction

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Vladislav Yu. Shishkov, Evgeny S. Andrianov, Sergei Tretiak, K. Birgitta Whaley, Anton V. Zasedatelev | Summary: We demonstrate a macro-coherent regime in exciton-polariton systems, where nonequilibrium polariton Bose–Einstein condensation coexists with macroscopically occupied vibrational states. Strong exciton-vibration coupling induces an effective optomechanical interaction between cavity polaritons and […]

Quasi-BPS categories for K3 surfaces

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Tudor Pădurariu, Yukinobu Toda, , , | Summary: We introduce and begin the study of quasi-BPS categories for K3 surfaces, which are a categorical version of the BPS cohomologies for K3 surfaces. We construct semiorthogonal decompositions of derived categories of coherent sheaves on moduli stacks of semistable […]
