Rarely categorical, always high-dimensional: how the neural code changes along the cortical hierarchy

Posted by dbos Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Eric D. Siggia | Authors: Stefano Fusi and Liam Paninski | Summary: The brain is highly structured both at anatomical and functional levels. However, within individual brain areas, neurons often exhibit very diverse and seemingly disorganized responses. A more careful analysis shows that these neurons can sometimes be grouped together into specialized subpopulations […]

Quantitative guiding of developmental cell fate transitions using gene-free modelling

Posted by dbos Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Eric D. Siggia | Authors: Ismail Hajji, Eric D Siggia, Francis Corson and Wolfgang Keil | Summary: During development, cells gradually assume specialized fates via changes of transcriptional dynamics in thousands of genes. Terminal cell identities are then stabilized through the convergence of gene regulatory network dynamics and the accumulation of epigenetic DNA […]

Continuous gravitational waves from thermal mountains on accreting neutron stars: effect of the nuclear pasta phase

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Hong-Bo Li, Lijing Shao, Cheng-Jun Xia, Ren-Xin Xu, | Summary: As density increases, the shape of nuclei transitions to non-spherical “nuclear pasta" structures. The physical properties of the nuclear pasta, such as thermal conductivity and elasticity, have implications for detecting continuous gravitational waves from a rapidly rotating […]

Accuracy of Stellar Mass-to-light Ratios of Nearby Galaxies in the Near-Infrared

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Taehyun Kim, Minjin Kim, Luis C. Ho, Yang A. Li, Woong-Seob Jeong | Summary: Future satellite missions are expected to perform all-sky surveys, thus providing the entire sky near-infrared spectral data and consequently opening a new window to investigate the evolution of galaxies. Specifically, the infrared […]
