Conserved neuropeptidergic regulation of intestinal integrity in invertebrate models of aging

Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani, Ethan Bier | Authors: Anupama Singh, Bhagyashree Kaduskar, Kirthi C Reddy, Caroline Kumsta, Ethan Bier, Malene Hansen and Sreekanth H Chalasani | Summary: Age-related decline in intestinal barrier function impacts survival across species, but the underlying cell intrinsic and extrinsic factors remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate a role for neuropeptides in […]

A minimal one-dimensional model of “bad metal” behavior from fast particle-hole scattering

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Yan-Qi Wang, Roman Rausch, Christoph Karrasch, Joel E. Moore, | Summary: A strongly interacting plasma of linearly dispersing electron and hole excitations in two spatial dimensions (2D), also known as a Dirac fluid, can be captured by relativistic hydrodynamics and shares many universal features with other […]

Dynamic Interrogation of Stochastic Transcriptome Trajectories Using Disease Associated Genes Reveals Distinct Origins of Neurological and Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Kavli Affiliate: Fred Gage, Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Thodoros Bermperidis, Simon Schafer, Fred H. Gage, Terrence Sejnowski and Elizabeth B Torres | Summary: The advent of open access to genomic data offers new opportunities to revisit old clinical debates while approaching them from a different angle. We examine anew the question of whether psychiatric and […]

Biological error correction codes generate fault-tolerant neural networks

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Alexander Zlokapa, Andrew K. Tan, John M. Martyn, Max Tegmark, Isaac L. Chuang | Summary: It has been an open question in deep learning if fault-tolerant computation is possible: can arbitrarily reliable computation be achieved using only unreliable neurons? In the mammalian cortex, analog error correction codes […]

The incentive circuit: memory dynamics in the mushroom body of Drosophila melanogaster

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Nitabach | Authors: Evripidis Gkanias, Li Yan McCurdy, Michael N Nitabach and Barbara Webb | Summary: Insects adapt their response to stimuli, such as odours, according to their pairing with positive or negative reinforcements, such as sugar or shock. Recent electrophysiological and imaging findings in Drosophila melanogaster allow detailed examination of the […]
