Exploring a strongly non-Markovian animal behavior
Vasyl Alba, Gordon J. Berman, William Bialek +1
A freely walking fly visits roughly 100 stereotyped states in a strongly non-Markovian sequence. To explore these dynamics, we develop a generalization of the information bottlenec…
Localization precision in chromatic multifocal imaging
M. Junaid Amin, Sabine Petry, Joshua W. Shaevitz +1
Multifocal microscopy affords fast acquisition of microscopic 3D images. This is made possible using a multifocal grating optic, however this induces chromatic dispersion effects i…
A hydrodynamic instability drives protein droplet formation on microtubules to nucleate branches
Sagar U. Setru, Bernardo Gouveia, Raymundo Alfaro-Aco +3
Liquid-liquid phase separation occurs not only in bulk liquid, but also on surfaces. In physiology, the nature and function of condensates on cellular structures remain unexplored.…
Topological defects promote layer formation in Myxococcus xanthus colonies
Katherine Copenhagen, Ricard Alert, Ned S. Wingreen +1
The soil bacterium Myxococcus xanthus lives in densely packed groups that form dynamic three-dimensional patterns in response to environmental changes, such as droplet-like fruitin…
