Characterisation of the axon initial segment and intrinsic excitability in the sub-acute phase post-ischemic stroke

Posted by dbos January 13, 2025January 21, 2025This Week: Neuroscience, UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Emily S King, Jamie L Beros, Hakuei Fujiyama, John N Reynolds and Alexander D Tang | Summary: Background: Stroke is a leading cause of disability and stroke-induced changes in cortical excitability are thought to impede functional recovery. Identifying cellular targets that contribute to maladaptive excitability holds great potential for […]

Mitochondria transported by Kinesin 3 prevent localized calcium spiking to inhibit caspase-dependent specialized cell death

Posted by dbos January 13, 2025January 21, 2025Rockefeller, This Week: Neuroscience

Kavli Affiliate: Shai Shaham | Authors: Rashna Sharmin, Aladin Elkhalil, Sara Pena, Pranya Gaddipati, Ginger Clark, Pavak K Shah, Mark W Pellegrino, Shai Shaham and Piya Ghose | Summary: Polarized cells (such as neurons), defined by distinct compartments are, like many cell types, subject to developmental elimination, as in neurite pruning. The molecular mechanism behind […]

Integration of Transplanted Interneurons Over a New Period of Ocular Dominance Plasticity in Adult Mouse Visual Cortex

Posted by dbos January 13, 2025January 21, 2025UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Arturo Alvarez-Buylla, Andrea Hasenstaub, and Michael Stryker | Authors: Benjamin Rakela, Jennifer Sun, Philine Marchetta, Arturo Alvarez-Buylla, Andrea R Hasenstaub and Michael P Stryker | Summary: Cortical interneurons play an important role in mediating the juvenile critical period for ocular dominance plasticity in the mouse primary visual cortex. Previously, we showed that transplantation […]

Cross-correlating the patchy screening and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effects as a new probe of reionization

Posted by dbos January 13, 2025January 21, 2025Cambridge, This Week: Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Darby Kramer, Alexander van Engelen, Christopher Cain, Niall MacCrann, Hy Trac | Summary: The kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (kSZ) and patchy screening effect are two complementary cosmic microwave background (CMB) probes of the reionization era. The kSZ effect is a relatively strong signal, but is difficult to disentangle […]

The Guitar’s Magnetic Field Revealed by Starlight Polarization

Posted by dbos January 13, 2025January 21, 2025Stanford, This Week: Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Jack T. Dinsmore, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: The Guitar nebula surrounding PSR B2224+65 boasts a pulsar X-ray filament likely aligned with the local magnetic field. We present new RoboPol stellar polarization data distributed along the line-of-sight to the pulsar. The polarizing effect of […]

Science objectives of the Einstein Probe mission

Posted by dbos January 13, 2025January 21, 2025Peking, This Week: Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Weimin Yuan, Lixin Dai, Hua Feng, Chichuan Jin, Peter Jonker | Summary: The Einstein Probe (EP) is an interdisciplinary mission of time-domain and X-ray astronomy. Equipped with a wide-field lobster-eye X-ray focusing imager, EP will discover cosmic X-ray transients and monitor the X-ray variability of known sources […]

The I-Love universal relation for polytropic stars under Newtonian gravity

Posted by dbos January 13, 2025January 21, 2025Peking, This Week: Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Rui Xu, Alejandro Torres-Orjuela, Lars Andersson, Pau Amaro Seoane, | Summary: The moment of inertia and tidal deformability of idealized stars with polytropic equations of state (EOSs) are numerically calculated under both Newtonian gravity and general relativity (GR). The results explicitly confirm that the relation between […]

The diverse physical origins of stars in the dynamically hot bulge: CALIFA vs. IllustrisTNG

Posted by January 13, 2025Peking

Le Zhang, Ling Zhu, Annalisa Pillepich, Min Du, Fangzhou Jiang | Summary: [[{“value”:”We compare the internal stellar structures of central galaxies in the TNG50 and TNG100 simulations and field galaxies in the CALIFA survey. The luminosity fractions of the dynamically cold, warm, and hot components in both TNG50 and TNG100 galaxies exhibit general consistency with […]
