Generation and validation of an Acan-Cre mouse line to selectively label Class-B excitatory neurons of the cerebellar nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Justus M Kebschull | Authors: Julian Cheron, Maggie Lowman, Manjari Anant, Max Siauw and Justus M Kebschull | Summary: The cerebellar nuclei form the main output structures of the cerebellum and are composed of a deeply conserved set of cell types. Two excitatory cell classes, Class-A and -B, are present in each cerebellar […]

Magneto-Optical Detection of Anisotropic Spin Currents in Altermagnetic RuO2

Kavli Affiliate: Farhan Rana | Summary:Altermagnets are a recently identified class of collinear antiferromagnets that host large spin-split electronic bands, offering a promising platform for efficient spin-current generation. Among proposed candidates, the metallic oxide RuO2 is predicted to exhibit strong altermagnetic spin splitting; however, whether it sustains robust magnetic order beyond the ultrathin thickness limit […]

Reconstructing 3D Neural Hemodynamics using Sparse Ultrasound Localization Microscopy Data

Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | Summary:Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) has presented great potential in functional imaging, benefiting from its ability to reconstruct deep microvasculature. However, the hemodynamic reconstruction is compromised by sparsity in the ULM data, as a limited number of MB tracks cannot sample the complete speed profile in one vessel. Here, we propose […]

Evidence for Systematically Larger Dust Grains in Upper Scorpius Relative to Taurus Disks

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Long| Summary: Infrared spectroscopy provides a powerful diagnostic for probing the mineralogical properties of dust grains in the terrestrial planet-forming regions of protoplanetary disks. The Upper Scorpius association offers an excellent laboratory for studying disk evolution because it represents an evolved stage (5-10 Myr) compared with younger star-forming regions such as the […]

Examining the Challenges of Intellectual Property in AI-Generated Productions

Kavli Affiliate: Mazhar Ali | Summary: With the advancement of artificial intelligence systems capable of autonomously generating artistic, literary, musical works, and even inventions without direct human intervention, the intellectual property (IP) regime faces unprecedented questions and challenges. The most critical issue concerns the ownership of moral and economic rights in the absence of a […]

Finite Temperature Stacking Fault Stability in Random and Locally Ordered CoCrNi beyond the Harmonic Approximation

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:Previous density functional theory (DFT) calculations for random solid solution (RSS) CoCrNi predict negative intrinsic stacking-fault energy (ISFE) at 0 K, contrary to experimental observations of finite stacking-fault widths. Two explanations have been proposed: finite-temperature stabilization of the RSS state, suggested by harmonic approximations showing increasing ISFE with temperature, and local […]

DisagFusion: Asynchronous Pipeline Parallelism and Elastic Scheduling for Disaggregated Diffusion Serving

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:Diffusion-based generation is increasingly powering production content pipelines; however, deploying these models at scale remains a significant challenge. Model weights frequently exceed the memory capacity of commodity GPUs, while the encoder, diffusion transformer (DiT), and decoder stages exhibit highly imbalanced computational and memory footprints. A natural remedy is disaggregated serving-running stages […]

Rank-Based Tests for Mutual Independence of High-Dimensional Random Vectors via $L_q$ Norm

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Long| Summary: We consider the problem of testing mutual independence among the components of a high-dimensional random vector. Building on the rank-based max-sum framework, we introduce fixed finite-$L_q$ power-sum statistics under three general classes of rank-based correlations: simple linear rank statistics, non-degenerate rank-based U-statistics and degenerate rank-based U-statistics. The proposed statistics interpolate […]

Non-local low energy neutral excitations in a strongly disordered triangular Mott magnet Cr$_3$Se$_2$Br$_5$

Kavli Affiliate: James Analytis| Summary:Understanding if low-energy excitations can remain itinerant in the presence of strong disorder remains a central challenge in frustrated quantum magnets, where disorder is generally expected to localize excitations through Anderson-like mechanisms. Here we report the emergence of charge-neutral itinerant excitations in a van der Waals compound Cr$_3$Se$_2$Br$_5$, a strongly disordered […]

Layer 6 corticothalamic neurons show diverse and dynamic responses that support a role in cortical gain control in noisy environments

Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Marina Cardoso de Oliveira and Patrick O Kanold | Summary: Listening in complex environments requires the enhancement of relevant sounds and suppression of irrelevant ones. Corticothalamic neurons (CTNs) in auditory cortex layer (L) 6 provide modulatory feedback to thalamic nuclei and to upper cortical layers and are thought to […]
