A spatial model of autophosphorylation of CaMKII in a glutamatergic spine suggests a network-driven kinetic mechanism for bistable changes in synaptic strength

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Thomas M Bartol, Mariam Ordyan, Terrence J Sejnowski, Padmini Rangamani and Mary B. Kennedy | Summary: Activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate-type glutamate receptors (NMDARs) at synapses in the CNS triggers changes in synaptic strength that underlie memory formation in response to strong synaptic stimuli. The primary target of Ca2+ flowing through […]

Cilia-mediated cerebrospinal fluid flow modulates neuronal and astroglial activity in the zebrafish larval brain

Posted by dbos NTNU

Kavli Affiliate: Emre Yaksi | Authors: Percival P D’Gama, Inyoung Jeong, Andreas Moe Nygard, Ahmed Jamali, Emre Yaksi and Nathalie Jurisch-Yaksi | Summary: The brain uses a specialized system to transport cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This system consists of interconnected ventricles lined by ependymal cells, which generate a directional flow upon beating of their motile cilia. […]

Evolutionary conservation of mechanical strain distributions in functional transitions of protein structures

Posted by klaurent Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Stanislas Leibler | Authors: Pablo Sartori and Stanislas Leibler | Summary: One of the tenets of molecular biology is that dynamical transitions between three dimensional structures largely determine the function of individual proteins, as well as multi-protein assemblies. Therefore, it seems only natural that evolutionary analysis of proteins, presently based mainly on their […]

Probing the Sterile Neutrino Dipole Portal with SN1987A and Low-Energy Supernovae

Posted by dbos Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Garv Chauhan, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Patrick Huber, Ian M. Shoemaker, | Summary: BSM electromagnetic properties of neutrinos may lead to copious production of sterile neutrinos in the hot and dense core of a core-collapse supernova. In this work, we focus on the active-sterile transition magnetic moment portal for […]

Forecast of foreground cleaning strategies for AliCPT-1

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | Summary:We report the test results of several independent foreground-cleaning pipelines used in the Ali CMB Polarization Telescope experiment (AliCPT-1), a high-altitude CMB imager in the Northern hemisphere with thousands of detectors dedicated to the search for a primordial CMB polarization $B$-mode signature. Based on simulated data from 4 detector modules […]
