# behav: locomotion-dependent auditory gating to the parietal cortex guides multisensory decisions

<< Decision-making in mammals fundamentally relies on integrating multiple sensory inputs, with conflicting information resolved flexibly based on a dominant sensory modality. However, the neural mechanisms underlying state-dependent changes in sensory dominance remain poorly understood. >>

 AA << study demonstrates that locomotion in mice shifts auditory-dominant decisions toward visual dominance during audiovisual conflicts. Using circuit-specific calcium imaging and optogenetic manipulations, (They) found that weakened visual representation in the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) leads to auditory-dominant decisions in stationary mice. >>

<< Prolonged locomotion, however, promotes visual dominance by inhibiting auditory cortical neurons projecting to the PPC (ACPPC). This shift is mediated by secondary motor cortical neurons projecting to the auditory cortex (M2AC), which specifically inhibit ACPPC neurons without affecting auditory cortical projections to the striatum (ACSTR). >>

AA << findings reveal the neural circuit mechanisms underlying auditory gating to the association cortex depending on locomotion states, providing insights into the state-dependent changes in sensory dominance during multisensory decision-making. >>️

# gst: apropos of the impact of noise, stochastic Kuramoto oscillators with inertia and higher-order interactions.

<< The impact of noise in coupled oscillators with pairwise interactions has been extensively explored. Here, (AA) study stochastic second-order coupled Kuramoto oscillators with higher-order interactions and show that as noise strength increases, the critical points associated with synchronization transitions shift toward higher coupling values. By employing the perturbation analysis, (They) obtain an expression for the forward critical point as a function of inertia and noise strength. Further, for overdamped systems, (AA) show that as noise strength increases, the first-order transition switches to second-order even for higher-order couplings. >>

# gst: route from avalanches with random fields to stochastic branching events

<< Many complex systems with discrete symmetry breaking exhibit avalanche dynamics. Under quasistatically slow external driving, the temporal evolution v(t) of physical observables appears to be split between long periods of quiescence and well-delimited fast transformation events, the so-called avalanches. >>

<< Due to their fast nature, such avalanches can be regarded as instantaneous and labeled as point events k in time with a branching parameter. (..) Many physical systems exhibit criticality in the form of scale-free avalanches rendering power-law distributions of sizes and durations. >>️

<< Avalanches in mean-field models can be mapped to memoryless branching processes defining a universality class. (AA) present a reduced expression mapping a broad family of critical and subcriticial avalanches in mean-field models at the thermodynamic limit to rooted trees in a memoryless Poisson branching processes with random occurrence times. (They) derive the exact mapping for the athermal random field Ising model and the democratic fiber bundle model, where avalanche statistics progress towards criticality, and as an approximation for the self-organized criticality in slip mean-field theory. Avalanche dynamics and statistics in the three models differ only on the evolution of the field density, interaction strength, and the product of both terms determining the branching number. >>

<< Two-dimensional (2D) turbulence, despite being an idealization of real flows, is of fundamental interest as a model of the spontaneous emergence of order from chaotic flows. The emergence of order often displays critical behavior, whose study is hindered by the long spatial and temporal scales involved. >>

Here AA << experimentally study turbulence in periodically driven nanofluidic channels with a high aspect ratio using superfluid helium. (They) find a multistable transition behavior resulting from cascading bifurcations of large-scale vorticity and critical behavior at the transition to quasi-2D turbulence consistent with phase transitions in periodically driven many-body systems. >>

# gst: discontinuous transitions to active nematic turbulence.

<< Active fluids exhibit chaotic flows at low Reynolds number known as active turbulence. Whereas the statistical properties of the chaotic flows are increasingly well understood, the nature of the transition from laminar to turbulent flows as activity increases remains unclear. Here, through simulations of a minimal model of unbounded active nematics, (AA) find that the transition to active turbulence is discontinuous. (They) show that the transition features a jump in the mean-squared velocity, as well as bistability and hysteresis between laminar and chaotic flows. >>

<< From distributions of finite-time Lyapunov exponents, (AA) identify the transition at a value A∗≈4900 of the dimensionless activity number. Below the transition to chaos, (They) find subcritical bifurcations that feature bistability of different laminar patterns. These bifurcations give rise to oscillations and to chaotic transients, which become very long close to the transition to turbulence. Overall, (Their) findings contrast with the continuous transition to turbulence in channel confinement, where turbulent puffs emerge within a laminar background. >>

AA << propose that, without confinement, the long-range hydrodynamic interactions of Stokes flow suppress the spatial coexistence of different flow states, and thus render the transition discontinuous. >>️

# gst: quadrupolar stress drives collapse of nematic order on frictional substrates.

<< The field of active nematics has traditionally employed descriptions based on dipolar activity, with interactions that align along a single axis. However, it has been theoretically predicted that interactions with a substrate, prevalent in most biological systems, would require novel forms of activity, such as quadrupolar activity, that are governed by hydrodynamic screening. >>

<< Here, by combining experiments and numerical simulations, (AA) show that upon light-induced solidification of the underlying medium, microtubule-kinesin mixtures undergo a transformation that leads to a biphasic active suspension. Using an active lyotropic model, (They) prove that the transition is governed by screening effects that alter the dominant form of active stress. Specifically, the combined effect of friction and quadrupolar activity leads to a hierarchical folding that follows the intrinsic bend instability of the active nematic layer. >>

AA << results demonstrate the dynamics of the collapse of orientational order in active nematics and present a new route for controlling active matter by modifying the activity through changing the surrounding environment. >>️

# gst: equilibrium and breakup regimes of stretched soap bubbles

AA << combine experiments and theoretical derivations to study the evolution of a stretched soap bubble and compare it with an open film to highlight the effect of volume conservation. (They) identify a critical length for both surfaces, beyond which a bottleneck develops in the middle and begins to shrink irreversibly, ultimately pinching off into multiple compartments. >>

<< Before leaving the equilibrium regime, surface energy minimization governs the shape, which can be addressed theoretically via the variational method. In contrast to open films, soap bubble volume conservation introduces a Lagrange multiplier, analogous to a pressure difference, mediating long-range shape evolution. >>

<< By examining how boundary constraints influence deformation, (AA) contrast the bubble's convex-to-concave transition with the behavior of soap films under similar conditions. (Their) analysis of equilibrium and breakup regimes reveals critical differences between bubble and film stability profiles, shedding light on universal behaviors in non-equilibrium fluid mechanics, with implications for biological and material sciences.

However, (AA) discover that in the presence of chaos, non-trivial topology not only endures but also provides robust protection to chaotic dynamics within a topological lattice hosting non-linear oscillators. >>

<< Despite the difficulty in defining topological invariants in non-linear settings, non-trivial topological robustness still persists in the parametric state of chaotic boundary oscillations.

# gst: singular bifurcations, an approach

<< Bifurcation analysis is traditionally based on the assumption of a regular perturbative expansion, close to the bifurcation point, in terms of a variable describing the passage of a system from one state to another. However, it is shown that a regular expansion is not the rule due to the existence of hidden singularities in many models, paving the way to a new paradigm in nonlinear science, that of singular bifurcations. The theory is first illustrated on an example borrowed from the field of active matter (phoretic microswimers), showing a singular bifurcation. >>

(They) consider periodic and constant-gradient prestress τb(x) around the reference uniform τb. For a periodic τb(x), pulses either sustain and form quasi-limit cycles in the L−c plane or decay predominantly monotonically along the L(c) line, depending on the instability index of the initial pulse and the properties of the periodic τb(x).  >>️

<< For a constant-gradient τb(x), expanding/decaying pulses closely follow the L(c) line, with systematic shifts determined by the sign and magnitude of the gradient. (They) also find that a spatially-varying τb(x) can revert the expanding/decaying nature of the initial reference pulse.  >>

<< Finally, (AA) show that a constant-gradient τb(x), of sufficient magnitude and specific sign, can lead to the nucleation of a back-propagating rupture at the healing tail of the initial pulse, generating a bilateral crack-like rupture.
