The diverse phenotypic and mutational landscape induced by fluoroquinolone treatment by Sayed Golam Mohiuddin, Pouria Kavousi, Diego Figueroa, Sreyashi Ghosh, Mehmet A. Orman

“…Notably, we observed the emergence of mutants with high ofloxacin tolerance but reduced minimum inhibitory concentrations, an outcome that challenges conventional understanding. Fitness traits, including lag phase duration, doubling time, competition score, redox activity, and ATP levels, were variably affected across evolved strains, with no consistent correlation between fitness and tolerance or resistance. …”

Latent dynamics of primary sensory cortical population activity structured by fluctuations in the local field potential by Audrey Sederberg, Audrey Sederberg, Audrey Sederberg, Audrey Sederberg, Aurélie Pala, Aurélie Pala, Garrett B. Stanley

“…Accumulating evidence from recordings of large neural populations suggests that neural population activity frequently exhibits relatively low-dimensional structure, with a small number of variables explaining a substantial fraction of the structure of the activity. While such structure has been observed across the brain, it is not known how reduced-dimension representations of neural population activity relate to classical metrics of “brain state,” typically described in terms of fluctuations in the local field potential (LFP), single-cell activity, and behavioral metrics.MethodsHidden state models were fit to spontaneous spiking activity of populations of neurons, recorded in the whisker area of primary somatosensory cortex of awake mice. …”
