Multiwavelength Constraints on the Local Black Hole Occupation Fraction by Colin J. Burke, Priyamvada Natarajan, Vivienne F. Baldassare, Marla Geha

“…We also constrain the extremely low-luminosity end ( L _bol ≲ 10 ^40 erg s ^−1 ) of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) luminosity functions at z = 0. Our AGN luminosity functions are broadly consistent with an extrapolation of the shallow slope of the AGN luminosity functions from previous work.…”

Holographic dual of crosscap conformal field theory by Zixia Wei

“…In particular, the Lorentzian spacetime with a global dS2 brane is dual to the unitary time evolution of a crosscap state in CFT, post-selected on the CFT ground state. We compute the holographic ℝℙ2 partition function (or the p-function), one-point function, and 𝕂2 partition function, and see that they successfully reproduce the XCFT results. …”

Case Report: Targeted treatment by fluoxetine/norfluoxetine of a KCNC2 variant causing developmental and epileptic encephalopathy by Ping Li, Alice Butler, Yu Zhou, Karl L. Magleby, Christina A. Gurnett, Lawrence Salkoff

“…The Kv3.2 subfamily of voltage activated potassium channels encoded by the KCNC2 gene is abundantly expressed in neurons that fire trains of fast action potentials that are a major source of cortical inhibition. Gain-of-function (GOF) de novo pathogenic variants in KCNC1 and KCNC2, encoding Kv3.1 and Kv3.2 respectively, cause several types of epilepsy including developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). …”
