Theory of interaction between untuned modulatory inputs and tuned sensory inputs

Kavli Affiliate: Kenneth Miller | Authors: Tuan Nguyen, Agostina Palmigiano and Kenneth D Miller | Summary: How does the brain integrate sensory inputs with non-feature-tuned signals, such as those arising from behavioral state changes or neuromodulation? Here, we show that the dynamics of disordered E/I networks with structured, feature-dependent connectivity can be well characterized by […]

Overexpression of Meis factors in late-stage retinal progenitors yields complex effects on temporal patterning and neurogenesis.

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Patrick Leavey, Lizhi Jiang, Nicole Pannullo, Clayton Santiago and Seth Blackshaw | Summary: The vertebrate retina serves as a model for studying neurogenesis and cell fate specification, with retinal progenitor cells following a tightly regulated temporal sequence to generate distinct cell types. Meis1 and Meis2 are transcription factors implicated […]

On homomorphisms from finite subgroups of $SU(2)$ to Langlands dual pairs of groups

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yuki Kojima, Yuji Tachikawa, , , | Summary: Let $N(Gamma,G)$ be the number of homomorphisms from $Gamma$ to $G$ up to conjugation by $G$. Physics of four-dimensional $mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories predicts that $N(Gamma,G)=N(Gamma , tilde G)$ when $Gamma$ is a finite subgroup of $SU(2)$, $G$ is […]

DexCtrl: Towards Sim-to-Real Dexterity with Adaptive Controller Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Shuqi Zhao, Ke Yang, Yuxin Chen, Chenran Li, Yichen Xie | Summary: Dexterous manipulation has seen remarkable progress in recent years, with policies capable of executing many complex and contact-rich tasks in simulation. However, transferring these policies from simulation to real world remains a significant challenge. One […]
