The Cosmic Evolution and Spatial Distribution of Multiphase Gas Associated with QSOs by Zeyu Chen, Enci Wang, Hu Zou, Haoran Yu, Zhicheng He, Huiyuan Wang, Yang Gao, Cheqiu Lyu, Cheng Jia, Chengyu Ma, Weiyu Ding, Runyu Zhu, Xu Kong

“…We also find that W _FeII / W _MgII increases toward lower redshifts, which can be attributed to evolving star formation histories and/or changes in initial mass function for galaxies. By leveraging multiple absorption tracers, we conduct the first comprehensive investigation of diffuse, multiphase gas from the circumgalactic medium to cosmological scales, offering new insights into baryon cycles and the transport of metals throughout cosmic time.…”

Vestibular afferent neurons develop normally in the absence of quantal/glutamatergic input by Katherine Regalado Núñez, Katherine Regalado Núñez, Daniel Bronson, Daniel Bronson, Ryan Chang, Radha Kalluri, Radha Kalluri, Radha Kalluri

“…Patch-clamp recordings showed that biophysical diversity of vestibular ganglion neurons in the Vglut3-ko mice is comparable to that found in wild-type controls, with a similar range firing patterns at both immature and juvenile ages. However, our results suggest a subtle biophysical alteration to the largest ganglion cells (putative somata of central zone afferents); those in the knockout had smaller net conductance and were more excitable than those in the wild type.DiscussionThus, unlike in the auditory nerve, glutamatergic signaling is unnecessary for producing biophysical diversity in vestibular ganglion neurons. …”
