A geometric attractor mechanism for self-organization of entorhinal grid modules
Louis Kang, Vijay Balasubramanian
Grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) respond when an animal occupies a periodic lattice of "grid fields" in the environment. The grids are organized in modules with spa…
Chiral structures and defects of lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals induced by saddle-splay elasticity
Zoey S. Davidson, Louis Kang, Joonwoo Jeong +4
An experimental and theoretical study of lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLCs) confined in cylinders with degenerate planar boundary conditions elucidates LCLC director confi…
Adaptation through stochastic switching into transient mutators in finite asexual populations
Muyoung Heo, Louis Kang, Eugene Shakhnovich
The importance of mutator clones in the adaptive evolution of asexual populations is not fully understood. Here we address this problem by using an ab initio microscopic model of l…
Emergence of species in evolutionary simulated annealing
Muyoung Heo, Louis Kang, Eugene I. Shakhnovich
Which factors govern the evolution of mutation rates and emergence of species? Here, we address this question using a first principles model of life where population dynamics of as…
