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 klaurent 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 […]

Convergence Tests of Self-Interacting Dark Matter Simulations

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Charlie Mace, Zhichao Carton Zeng, Annika H. G. Peter, Xiaolong Du, Shengqi Yang | Summary: Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) theory predicts that dark matter halos experience core-collapse, a process where the halo’s inner region rapidly increases in density and decreases in size. The N-body simulations used to […]

Backward Responsibility in Transition Systems Using General Power Indices

Posted by dbos Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Johannes Lehmann | First 5 Authors: Christel Baier, Roxane van den Bossche, Sascha Klüppelholz, Johannes Lehmann, Jakob Piribauer | Summary: To improve reliability and the understanding of AI systems, there is increasing interest in the use of formal methods, e.g. model checking. Model checking tools produce a counterexample when a model does not […]

Continuously Distributing Entanglement in Quantum Networks with Regular Topologies

Posted by dbos Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Lars Talsma, Álvaro G. Iñesta, Stephanie Wehner, , | Summary: Small interconnected quantum processors can collaborate to tackle quantum computational problems that typically demand more capable devices. These linked processors, referred to as quantum nodes, can use shared entangled states to execute nonlocal operations. As a consequence, […]
