Microcircuit synchronization and heavy tailed synaptic weight distribution in preBötzinger Complex contribute to generation of breathing rhythm
Valentin M. Slepukhin, Sufyan Ashhad, Jack L. Feldman +1
The preBötzinger Complex, the mammalian inspiratory rhythm generator, encodes inspiratory time as motor pattern. Spike synchronization throughout this sparsely connected network ge…
Geometrically-induced localization of flexural waves on thin warped physical membranes
Jonathan Kernes, Alex J. Levine
We consider the propagation of flexural waves across a nearly flat, thin membrane, whose stress-free state is curved. The stress-free configuration is specified by a quenched heigh…
Directed force propagation in semiflexible networks
Maximilian J. Grill, Jonathan Kernes, Valentin M. Slepukhin +2
We consider the propagation of tension along specific filament of a semiflexible filament network in response to the application of a point force using a combination of numerical s…
Dynamics of undulatory fluctuations of semiflexible filaments in a network
Jonathan Kernes, Alex J. Levine
We study the dynamics of a single semiflexible filament coupled to a Hookean spring at its boundary. The spring produces a fluctuating tensile force on the filament, whose value de…
Violation of generalized fluctuation theorems in adaptively driven steady states: Applications to hair cell oscillations
Janaki Sheth, Dolores Bozovic, Alex Levine
The spontaneously oscillating hair bundle of sensory cells in the inner ear is an example of a stochastic, nonlinear oscillator driven by internal active processes. Moreover, this…
Dynamical phase separation on rhythmogenic neuronal networks
Mihai Bibireata, Valentin M. Slepukhin, Alex J. Levine
We explore the dynamics of the preBötzinger complex, the mammalian central pattern generator with neurons, which produces a collective metronomic signal that times th…
