Left-right-alternating theta sweeps in the entorhinal-hippocampal spatial map

Kavli Affiliate: Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser | Authors: Abraham Z. Vollan, Richard J. Gardner, May-Britt Moser and Edvard I. Moser | Summary: Place cells in the hippocampus and grid cells in the entorhinal cortex are elements of a neural map of self- position. To benefit navigation, this representation must be dynamically related to surrounding […]

Supermassive black hole formation from Affleck-Dine mechanism with suppressed clustering on large scales

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | Summary:We study a primordial black hole (PBH) formation model based on the framework of the inhomogeneous Affleck-Dine (AD) mechanism, which can explain the seeds of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). This model, however, predicts strong clustering of SMBHs that is inconsistent with the observation of angular correlation of quasars. In this […]

The Human Genomic Landscape of Oceania

Kavli Affiliate: Carlos Bustamante | Summary:Oceania and Island Southeast Asia have a rich, yet understudied, human genomic landscape. This region encompasses some of the first areas inhabited by humans following the out-of-Africa expansion, includes populations with the highest levels of archaic hominin introgression, and contains Pacific islands that are among the most remote continuously inhabited […]

Synchronization of E. coli bacteria moving in coupled wells

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | Summary:Synchronization plays a crucial role in the dynamics of living organisms, from fireflies flashing in unison to pacemaker cells that jointly generate heartbeats. Uncovering the mechanism behind these phenomena requires an understanding of individual biological oscillators and the coupling forces between them. Here, we develop a single-cell assay that studies […]

Feature-based Federated Transfer Learning: Communication Efficiency, Robustness and Privacy

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, M. Cenk Gursoy, Senem Velipasalar, , | Summary: In this paper, we propose feature-based federated transfer learning as a novel approach to improve communication efficiency by reducing the uplink payload by multiple orders of magnitude compared to that of existing approaches in federated learning and […]

Interdependence between SEB-3 and NLP-49 peptides shifts across predator-induced defensive behavioral modes in Caenorhabditis elegans

Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani | Authors: Kathleen T Quach, Gillian A Hughes and Sreekanth H Chalasani | Summary: Prey must balance the need to avoid predators with the need to feed, a dilemma central to prey refuge theory. Additionally, prey must also assess predatory imminence, or how close predator threats are in space and time. […]
