Population-level morphological analysis of paired CO2- and odor-sensing olfactory neurons in D. melanogaster via volume electron microscopy

Posted by dbos May 28, 2025June 2, 2025This Week: Neuroscience, UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Jonathan Choy, Shadi Charara, Kalyani Cauwenberghs, Quintyn McKaughan, Keun-Young Kim, Mark Ellisman and Chih-Ying Su | Summary: Dendritic morphology is a defining characteristic of neuronal subtypes. In Drosophila, heterotypic olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) expressing different receptors display diverse dendritic morphologies, but whether such diversity exists among homotypic ORNs remains […]

Spatiotemporal transcriptomic analysis during cold ischemic injury to the murine kidney reveals compartment-specific changes

Posted by dbos May 28, 2025June 2, 2025Hopkins, This Week: Neuroscience

Kavli Affiliate: Jean Fan | Authors: Srujan Singh, Shishir Kumar Patel, Ryo Matsuura, Dee Velazquez, Zhaoli Sun, Sanjeev Noel, Hamid Rabb and Jean Fan | Summary: Kidney transplantation is the gold standard treatment strategy for end-stage renal disease. Deceased donor kidneys usually undergo cold storage until kidney transplantation, leading to cold ischemia injury that may […]

Optimized Theta Burst Stimulation with Extended Intervals Enhances Excitatory-Inhibitory Balance

Posted by dbos May 28, 2025June 2, 2025This Week: Neuroscience, UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Dhakshin Ramanathan and Jyoti Mishra | Authors: Morteza Salimi, Milad Nazari, Jonathan Mishler, Jennifer Rodger, Sahar Jomehpour, Jyoti Mishra and Dhakshin Ramanathan | Summary: Varying inter-train intervals (ITIs) during theta burst stimulation (TBS) differentially modulates neuronal activity in the medial prefrontal cortex. Short ITIs (e.g., ITI 4 s) induce strong glutamatergic excitation but […]

Sequential transcriptional gates in the thalamo-cortical circuit coordinate memory stabilization

Posted by dbos May 28, 2025June 2, 2025Rockefeller, This Week: Neuroscience

Kavli Affiliate: Priya Rajasethupathy | Authors: Andrea Terceros, Celine Chen, Yujin Harada, Tim Eilers, Millennium Gebremedhin, Richard P Koche, Pierre-Jacques Hamard, Roshan Sharma and Priya Rajasethupathy | Summary: The molecular mechanisms that enable memories to persist over long time-scales from days to weeks and months are still poorly understood. To develop insights we created a […]

Basic Elements of Strong Gravitational Lensing

Posted by dbos May 28, 2025June 2, 2025MIT, This Week: Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Paul L. Schechter, Jeremy D. Schnittman, , , | Summary: Even when used to describe the same phenomenon, equations, graphics and words each give different perspectives and lead to complementary insights. The basic elements of strong gravitational lensing are introduced here favoring words and graphics over […]

A theory for diffusion-controlled reactions within nonequilibrium steady states

Posted by dbos May 28, 2025June 2, 2025Berkeley, This Week: Nanoscience

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Seokjin Moon, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We study diffusion-controlled processes in nonequilibrium steady states, where standard rate theory assumptions break down. Using transition path theory, we generalize the relations between reactive probability fluxes and measures of the rate of the reaction. Stochastic thermodynamics […]

Dynamical Sweet and Sour Regions in Bichromatically Driven Floquet Qubits

Posted by dbos May 28, 2025June 2, 2025Berkeley, This Week: Nanoscience

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: D. Dominic Briseño-Colunga, Bibek Bhandari, Debmalya Das, Long B. Nguyen, Yosep Kim | Summary: Modern superconducting and semiconducting quantum hardware use external charge and microwave flux drives to both tune and operate devices. However, each external drive is susceptible to low-frequency (e.g., $1/f$) noise that can drastically […]

A black hole in a near-pristine galaxy 700 million years after the Big Bang

Posted by dbos May 28, 2025June 2, 2025Peking, This Week: Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Roberto Maiolino, Hannah Uebler, Francesco D’Eugenio, Jan Scholtz, Ignas Juodzbalis | Summary: The recent discovery of a large number of massive black holes within the first two billion years after the Big Bang, as well as their peculiar properties, have been largely unexpected based on the extrapolation […]

Engineering Ge profiles in Si/SiGe heterostructures for increased valley splitting

Posted by dbos May 28, 2025June 2, 2025Delft, This Week: Nanoscience

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Lucas E. A. Stehouwer, Merrit P. Losert, Maia Rigot, Davide Degli Esposti, Sara Martí-Sánchez | Summary: Electron spin qubits in Si/SiGe quantum wells are limited by the small and variable energy separation of the conduction band valleys. While sharp quantum well interfaces are pursued to increase the […]

Revisiting the Li abundances of Stars with and without Detected Planets from the High Resolution Spectroscopy

Posted by dbos May 28, 2025Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Jinxiao Qin, Hong-Liang Yan, Wenyuan Cui, Jian-Rong Shi, Subo Dong | Summary: Whether the presence of planets affects the lithium (Li) abundance of their host stars is still an open question. To investigate the difference of the Li abundance between planet-host stars (HS) and isolated stars (IS) […]
