Discovery of extreme Quasi-Periodic Eruptions in a newly accreting massive black hole

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Lorena Hernández-García, Joheen Chakraborty, Paula Sánchez-Sáez, Claudio Ricci, Jorge Cuadra | Summary: Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are rapid, recurring X-ray bursts from supermassive black holes, believed to result from interactions between accretion disks and surrounding matter. The galaxy SDSS1335+0728, previously stable for two decades, exhibited an increase in […]

Autism-associated Scn2a haploinsufficiency disrupts in vivo dendritic signaling and impairs flexible decision-making

Posted by dbos UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Bender | Authors: Hao Wu, Luqun Shen, Jonathan Indajang, Neil K Savalia, Timothy G Johnson, Jiayin Qu, Kevin J Bender and Alex C Kwan | Summary: SCN2A is a high-confidence risk gene for autism spectrum disorder. Loss-of-function mutations in Scn2a reduce dendritic excitability in neocortical pyramidal cells. However, the impact of Scn2a […]
