Thermoelectric Power of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

TL;DR: In this paper, the temperature-dependent thermoelectric power (TEP) of crystalline ropes of single-walled carbon nanotubes was measured and it was shown that the TEP is large and hole-like at high temperatures and approaches zero as T{r_arrow}0.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synaptic activity unmasks dopamine D2 receptor modulation of a specific class of layer V pyramidal neurons in prefrontal cortex

TL;DR: D2Rs can elicit a Ca2+-channel-dependent afterdepolarization that powerfully modulates activity in specific prefrontal neurons through this mechanism, which might enhance outputs to subcortical structures, contribute to reward-related persistent firing, or increase the level of noise in prefrontal circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proof of vanishing cohomology at the tachyon vacuum

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proved Sen's third conjecture that there are no on-shell perturbative excitations of the tachyon vacuum in open bosonic string field theory.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Closed string tadpole in open string field theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a class of gauge invariant observables for marginal solutions and the tachyon vacuum were computed and shown to be related in a simple way to the closed-string tadpole on a disk with appropriate boundary conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identifying specific prefrontal neurons that contribute to autism-associated abnormalities in physiology and social behavior.

TL;DR: It is suggested that multiple forms of autism may alter the physiology of specific deep-layer prefrontal neurons that project to subcortical targets, and a highly overlapping population—prefrontal D2R+ neurons—plays an important role in both normal and abnormal social behavior, such that targeting these cells can elicit potentially therapeutic effects.
