These capabilities are made possible thanks to a variety of\r\nchanges in the brain throughout adulthood, regrouped under the term \"plasticity\". Some cells\r\nin the brain —neurons— and specifically changes in the connections between neurons, the\r\nsynapses, were shown to be crucial for the formation, selection, and consolidation of memories\r\nfrom past experiences. These ongoing changes of synapses across time are called synaptic\r\nplasticity. Understanding how a myriad of biochemical processes operating at individual\r\nsynapses can somehow work in concert to give rise to meaningful changes in behavior is a\r\nfascinating problem and an active area of research.\r\nHowever, the experimental search for the precise plasticity mechanisms at play in the brain\r\nis daunting, as it is difficult to control and observe synapses during learning. Theoretical\r\napproaches have thus been the default method to probe the plasticity-behavior connection. Such\r\nstudies attempt to extract unifying principles across synapses and model all observed synaptic\r\nchanges using plasticity rules: equations that govern the evolution of synaptic strengths across\r\ntime in neuronal network models. These rules can use many relevant quantities to determine\r\nthe magnitude of synaptic changes, such as the precise timings of pre- and postsynaptic\r\naction potentials, the recent neuronal activity levels, the state of neighboring synapses, etc.\r\nHowever, analytical studies rely heavily on human intuition and are forced to make simplifying\r\nassumptions about plasticity rules.\r\nIn this thesis, we aim to assist and augment human intuition in this search for plasticity rules.\r\nWe explore whether a numerical approach could automatically discover the plasticity rules\r\nthat elicit desired behaviors in large networks of interconnected neurons. This approach is\r\ndubbed meta-learning synaptic plasticity: learning plasticity rules which themselves will make\r\nneuronal networks learn how to solve a desired task. We first write all the potential plasticity\r\nmechanisms to consider using a single expression with adjustable parameters. We then optimize\r\nthese plasticity parameters using evolutionary strategies or Bayesian inference on tasks known\r\nto involve synaptic plasticity, such as familiarity detection and network stabilization.\r\nWe show that these automated approaches are powerful tools, able to complement established\r\nanalytical methods. By comprehensively screening plasticity rules at all synapse types in\r\nrealistic, spiking neuronal network models, we discover entire sets of degenerate plausible\r\nplasticity rules that reliably elicit memory-related behaviors. Our approaches allow for more\r\nrobust experimental predictions, by abstracting out the idiosyncrasies of individual plasticity\r\nrules, and provide fresh insights on synaptic plasticity in spiking network models.\r\n" alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Basile J full_name: Confavreux, Basile J id: C7610134-B532-11EA-BD9F-F5753DDC885E last_name: Confavreux citation: ama: 'Confavreux BJ.

Such changes result from tension dynamics at cell contacts or cellular jamming. Yet, in many cases, the cellular mechanisms controlling the physical state of growing tissues are unclear. We found that at early developmental stages, the epithelium in the developing mouse spinal cord maintains both high junctional tension and high fluidity. This is achieved via a mechanism in which interkinetic nuclear movements generate cell area dynamics that drive extensive cell rearrangements. Over time, the cell proliferation rate declines, effectively solidifying the tissue. Thus, unlike well-studied jamming transitions, the solidification uncovered here resembles a glass transition that depends on the dynamical stresses generated by proliferation and differentiation. Our finding that the fluidity of developing epithelia is linked to interkinetic nuclear movements and the dynamics of growth is likely to be relevant to multiple developing tissues. acknowledgement: 'We thank S.

For instance, embryonic\r\nstem cell cultures can recapitulate the hallmarks of gastrulation, i.e. break symmetry\r\nleading to germ layer formation and morphogenesis, in a very reduced environment.\r\nThis leads to questions on specific contributions of embryo-specific features, such as\r\nthe presence of extraembryonic tissues, which are inherently involved in gastrulation\r\nin the full embryonic context. To address this, we established zebrafish embryonic\r\nexplants without the extraembryonic yolk cell, an important player as a signaling\r\nsource and for morphogenesis during gastrulation, as a model of ex vivo development.\r\nWe found that dorsal-marginal determinants are required and sufficient in these\r\nexplants to form and pattern all three germ layers. However, formation of tissues,\r\nwhich require the highest Nodal-signaling levels, is variable, demonstrating a\r\ncontribution of extraembryonic tissues for reaching peak Nodal signaling levels.\r\nBlastoderm explants also undergo gastrulation-like axis elongation. We found that this\r\nelongation movement shows hallmarks of oriented mesendoderm cell intercalations\r\ntypically associated with dorsal tissues in the intact embryo. These are disrupted by\r\nuniform upregulation of BMP signaling activity and concomitant explant ventralization,\r\nsuggesting that tight spatial control of BMP signaling is a prerequisite for explant\r\nmorphogenesis. This control is achieved by Nodal signaling, which is critical for\r\neffectively downregulating BMP signaling in the mesendoderm, highlighting that Nodal\r\nsignaling is not only directly required for mesendoderm cell fate specification and\r\nmorphogenesis, but also by maintaining low levels of BMP signaling at the dorsal side.\r\nCollectively, we provide insights into the capacity and organization of signaling and\r\nmorphogenetic domains to recapitulate features of zebrafish gastrulation outside of\r\nthe full embryonic context." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Alexandra full_name: Schauer, Alexandra id: 30A536BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schauer orcid: 0000-0001-7659-9142 citation: ama: 'Schauer A.

Accordingly, root systems adapt to maximize NO3− availability, a developmental regulation also involving the phytohormone auxin. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying this regulation remain poorly understood. Here, we identify low-nitrate-resistant mutant (lonr) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), whose root growth fails to adapt to low-NO3− conditions. lonr2 is defective in the high-affinity NO3− transporter NRT2.1. lonr2 (nrt2.1) mutants exhibit defects in polar auxin transport, and their low-NO3−-induced root phenotype depends on the PIN7 auxin exporter activity. NRT2.1 directly associates with PIN7 and antagonizes PIN7-mediated auxin efflux depending on NO3− levels. These results reveal a mechanism by which NRT2.1 in response to NO3− limitation directly regulates auxin transport activity and, thus, root growth. This adaptive mechanism contributes to the root developmental plasticity to help plants cope with changes in NO3− availability. acknowledgement: We are grateful to Caifu Jiang for providing ethyl metha-nesulfonate- mutagenized population, Yi Wang for providing Xenopus oocytes, Jun Fan and Zhaosheng Kong for providing tobacco BY- 2 cells, and Claus Schwechheimer, Alain Gojon, and Shutang Tan for helpful discussions.

Distinct cellular processes such as cell division and cell rearrangements underlie tissue morphogenesis. Yet how the distinct processes are controlled and coordinated, and how they contribute to morphogenesis is poorly understood. In our study, we addressed these questions using the developing mouse neural tube. This epithelial organ transforms from a flat epithelial sheet to an epithelial tube while increasing in size and undergoing morpho-gen-mediated patterning. The extent and mechanism of neural progenitor rearrangement within the developing mouse neuroepithelium is unknown. To investigate this, we per-formed high resolution lineage tracing analysis to quantify the extent of epithelial rear-rangement at different stages of neural tube development. We quantitatively described the relationship between apical cell size with cell cycle dependent interkinetic nuclear migra-tions (IKNM) and performed high cellular resolution live imaging of the neuroepithelium to study the dynamics of junctional remodeling. Furthermore, developed a vertex model of the neuroepithelium to investigate the quantitative contribution of cell proliferation, cell differentiation and mechanical properties to the epithelial rearrangement dynamics and validated the model predictions through functional experiments. Our analysis revealed that at early developmental stages, the apical cell area kinetics driven by IKNM induce high lev-els of cell rearrangements in a regime of high junctional tension and contractility. After E9.5, there is a sharp decline in the extent of cell rearrangements, suggesting that the epi-thelium transitions from a fluid-like to a solid-like state. We found that this transition is regulated by the growth rate of the tissue, rather than by changes in cell-cell adhesion and contractile forces. Overall, our study provides a quantitative description of the relationship between tissue growth, cell cycle dynamics, epithelia rearrangements and the emergent tissue material properties, and novel insights on how epithelial cell dynamics influences tissue morphogenesis. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Laura full_name: Bocanegra, Laura id: 4896F754-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bocanegra citation: ama: Bocanegra L.

Our\r\nprimary focus lies on two particular types of VQAs: the Quantum Approximate Optimization\r\nAlgorithm (QAOA), used for solving binary optimization problems, and the Variational Quantum\r\nEigensolver (VQE), utilized for finding ground states of quantum many-body systems.\r\nIn the first part of the thesis, we examine the issue of effective parameter initialization for\r\nthe QAOA. The work demonstrates that random initialization of the QAOA often leads to\r\nconvergence in local minima with sub-optimal performance. To mitigate this issue, we propose\r\nan initialization of QAOA parameters based on the Trotterized Quantum Annealing (TQA).\r\nWe show that TQA initialization leads to the same performance as the best of an exponentially\r\nscaling number of random initializations.\r\nThe second study introduces Transition States (TS), stationary points with a single direction\r\nof descent, as a tool for systematically exploring the QAOA optimization landscape. This\r\nleads us to propose a novel greedy parameter initialization strategy that guarantees for the\r\nenergy to decrease with increasing number of circuit layers.\r\nIn the third section, we extend the QAOA to qudit systems, which are higher-dimensional\r\ngeneralizations of qubits. This chapter provides theoretical insights and practical strategies for\r\nleveraging the increased computational power of qudits in the context of quantum optimization\r\nalgorithms and suggests a quantum circuit for implementing the algorithm on an ion trap\r\nquantum computer.\r\nFinally, we propose an algorithm to avoid “barren plateaus”, regions in parameter space with\r\nvanishing gradients that obstruct efficient parameter optimization. This novel approach relies\r\non defining a notion of weak barren plateaus based on the entropies of local reduced density\r\nmatrices and showcases how these can be efficiently quantified using shadow tomography.\r\nTo illustrate the approach we employ the strategy in the VQE and show that it allows to\r\nsuccessfully avoid barren plateaus in the initialization and throughout the optimization.\r\nTaken together, this thesis greatly enhances our understanding of parameter initialization and\r\noptimization in VQAs, expands the scope of QAOA to higher-dimensional quantum systems,\r\nand presents a method to address the challenge of barren plateaus using the VQE. These\r\ninsights are instrumental in advancing the field of near-term quantum computation." alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Stefan full_name: Sack, Stefan id: dd622248-f6e0-11ea-865d-ce382a1c81a5 last_name: Sack orcid: 0000-0001-5400-8508 citation: ama: 'Sack S.

In addition to patterning, morphogens also control tissue growth. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We studied the role of morphogens in regulating tissue growth in the developing vertebrate neural tube. In this system, opposing morphogen gradients of Shh and BMP establish the dorsoventral pattern of neural progenitor domains. Perturbations in these morphogen pathways result in alterations in tissue growth and cell cycle progression, however, it has been unclear what cellular process is affected. To address this, we analysed the rates of cell proliferation and cell death in mouse mutants in which signaling is perturbed, as well as in chick neural plate explants exposed to defined concentrations of signaling activators or inhibitors. Our results indicated that the rate of cell proliferation was not altered in these assays. By contrast, both the Shh and BMP signaling pathways had profound effects on neural progenitor survival. Our results indicate that these pathways synergise to promote cell survival within neural progenitors. Consistent with this, we found that progenitors within the intermediate region of the neural tube, where the combined levels of Shh and BMP are the lowest, are most prone to cell death when signaling activity is inhibited. In addition, we found that downregulation of Shh results in increased apoptosis within the roof plate, which is the dorsal source of BMP ligand production. This revealed a cross-interaction between the Shh and BMP morphogen signaling pathways that may be relevant for understanding how gradients scale in neural tubes with different overall sizes. We further studied the mechanism acting downstream of Shh in cell survival regulation using genetic and genomic approaches. We propose that Shh transcriptionally regulates a non-canonical apoptotic pathway. Altogether, our study points to a novel role of opposing morphogen gradients in tissue size regulation and provides new insights into complex interactions between Shh and BMP signaling gradients in the neural tube. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: PreCl alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Katarzyna full_name: Kuzmicz-Kowalska, Katarzyna id: 4CED352A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kuzmicz-Kowalska citation: ama: Kuzmicz-Kowalska K.

For a random initialization, the optimization typically leads to local minima with poor performance, motivating the search for initialization strategies of QAOA variational parameters. Although numerous heuristic initializations exist, an analytical understanding and performance guarantees for large p remain evasive.We introduce a greedy initialization of QAOA which guarantees improving performance with an increasing number of layers. Our main result is an analytic construction of 2p + 1 transition states—saddle points with a unique negative curvature direction—for QAOA with p + 1 layers that use the local minimum of QAOA with p layers. Transition states connect to new local minima, which are guaranteed to lower the energy compared to the minimum found for p layers. We use the GREEDY procedure to navigate the exponentially increasing with p number of local minima resulting from the recursive application of our analytic construction. The performance of the GREEDY procedure matches available initialization strategies while providing a guarantee for the minimal energy to decrease with an increasing number of layers p.

My work involved an in-depth examination of\r\nthe complex strategies employed by neutrophils, with a specific focus on their ability to\r\nsynchronize spatial-temporal cues and optimize their gradient perception. However, it\r\nis essential to acknowledge that not all projects yielded successful results, as some\r\nideas were discontinued and are archived for future reference within this thesis.\r\nMy main project investigated how neutrophils decode spatial cues for precise navigation. Human neutrophils showcased distinct movement patterns based on source\r\ntype – linear or point-like. By combining single-cell tracking in 3D environments with\r\nproxy dyes, this project linked cell behaviors to gradient changes, revealing a stronger\r\nresponse to semi-exponential gradients from point sources. In addition, neutrophils\r\nexhibited oscillating migration speeds, using speed minima to adjust trajectories toward sources. Experiencing continuous concentration changes, they accelerated over\r\ntime and employed a \"Run and Fumble\" strategy, alternating between consistent runs\r\nand strategic \"tumbles\" for efficient navigation.\r\nThe project extended to the possibility of cells amplifying perceived gradients by\r\nenclosing their immediate surroundings, pushing attractants forward for enrichment\r\nwhile depleting it at the cell rear. Microfluidic devices were employed, and various experimental parameters configurations were optimized. Although significant differences\r\nin migratory efficacy were detected across pore sizes and device heights, quantifying\r\ngradient manipulation effects proved challenging.\r\nThe \"Laser-Assisted Protein Adsorption by Photobleaching\" (LAPAP) project was\r\npromising, as it allowed the printing of gradients. Initially successful with dendritic cells,\r\nwe aimed to adapt it for neutrophils. Through extensive experimentation with multiple\r\nparameters, we attempted to trigger responses from neutrophils. Despite these efforts\r\nand collaboration, the project failed due to practical challenges and limitations.\r\nFacing a lack of neutrophil-like cells at IST, we initially established the SCF-HoxB8\r\nprimary murine cell line. Despite their existence, their migratory behavior was largely\r\nunexplored due to potential limitations. Through differentiation protocol refinements we\r\nenhanced their migratory capabilities, though their capacity still lagged behind human\r\nneutrophils. Despite this, the improved migration potential of these cells pointed toward\r\ntheir utility for in vitro murine neutrophil migration studies." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: LifeSc - _id: Bio alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Julian A full_name: Stopp, Julian A id: 489E3F00-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Stopp citation: ama: 'Stopp JA.

Using a novel statistical estimator and theoretical modeling, both developed in the framework of maximum entropy models, we reveal highly structured CA1 cell-cell interactions in male rats during open field exploration. The statistics of these interactions depend on whether the animal is in a familiar or novel environment. In both conditions the circuit interactions optimize the encoding of spatial information, but for regimes that differ in the informativeness of their spatial inputs. This structure facilitates linear decodability, making the information easy to read out by downstream circuits. Overall, our findings suggest that the efficient coding hypothesis is not only applicable to individual neuron properties in the sensory periphery, but also to neural interactions in the central brain. acknowledgement: M.N. was supported by the European Union Horizon 2020 Grant 665385.

We identify a curvature-sensing mechanism underlying obstacle evasion in immune-like cells. Specifically, we propose that actin polymerization at the advancing edge of migrating cells is inhibited by the curvature-sensitive BAR domain protein Snx33 in regions with inward plasma membrane curvature. The genetic perturbation of this machinery reduces the cells’ capacity to evade obstructions combined with faster and more persistent cell migration in obstacle-free environments. Our results show how cells can read out their surface topography and utilize actin and plasma membrane biophysics to interpret their environment, allowing them to adaptively decide if they should move ahead or turn away. On the basis of our findings, we propose that the natural diversity of BAR domain proteins may allow cells to tune their curvature sensing machinery to match the shape characteristics in their environment. acknowledgement: "We thank Jan Ellenberg, Leanne Strauss, Anusha Gopalan, and Jia Hui Li for critical feedback on the manuscript and the Life Science Editors for editing assistance.

The evolution of X chromosomes after they stop recombining in males, but before they become hemizygous, has not been well explored theoretically. We use the diffusion approximation to infer substitution rates of beneficial and deleterious mutations under such a scenario. Our results show that selection is less efficient on diploid X loci than on autosomal and hemizygous X loci under a wide range of parameters. This “slower-X” effect is stronger for genes affecting primarily (or only) male fitness, and for sexually antagonistic genes. These unusual dynamics suggest that some of the peculiar features of X chromosomes, such as the differential accumulation of genes with sex-specific functions, may start arising earlier than previously appreciated. acknowledgement: We thank the Vicoso and Barton groups and ISTA Scientific Computing Unit.

lang: eng text: Recent quantum technologies have established precise quantum control of various microscopic systems using electromagnetic waves. Interfaces based on cryogenic cavity electro-optic systems are particularly promising, due to the direct interaction between microwave and optical fields in the quantum regime. Quantum optical control of superconducting microwave circuits has been precluded so far due to the weak electro-optical coupling as well as quasi-particles induced by the pump laser. Here we report the coherent control of a superconducting microwave cavity using laser pulses in a multimode electro-optical device at millikelvin temperature with near-unity cooperativity. Both the stationary and instantaneous responses of the microwave and optical modes comply with the coherent electro-optical interaction, and reveal only minuscule amount of excess back-action with an unanticipated time delay. Our demonstration enables wide ranges of applications beyond quantum transductions, from squeezing and quantum non-demolition measurements of microwave fields, to entanglement generation and hybrid quantum networks. acknowledgement: This work was supported by the European Research Council under grant agreement no. 758053 (ERC StG QUNNECT), the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement no. 899354 (FETopen SuperQuLAN), and the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) through BeyondC (F7105).

Classical data centers rely on fiber-optic interconnects to remove similar networking bottlenecks and to allow for reconfigurable, software-defined infrastructures. In the same spirit, ultra-cold electro-optic links have been proposed and used to generate qubit control signals, or to replace cryogenic readout electronics. So far, the latter suffered from either low efficiency, low bandwidth and the need for additional microwave drives, or breaking of Cooper pairs and qubit states. In this work we realize electro-optic microwave photonics at millikelvin temperatures to implement a radio-over-fiber qubit readout that does not require any active or passive cryogenic microwave equipment. We demonstrate all-optical single-shot-readout by means of the Jaynes-Cummings nonlinearity in a circulator-free readout scheme. Importantly, we do not observe any direct radiation impact on the qubit state as verified with high-fidelity quantum-non-demolition measurements despite the absence of shielding elements. This compatibility between superconducting circuits and telecom wavelength light is not only a prerequisite to establish modular quantum networks, it is also relevant for multiplexed readout of superconducting photon detectors and classical superconducting logic. Moreover, this experiment showcases the potential of electro-optic radiometry in harsh environments - an electronics-free sensing principle that extends into the THz regime with applications in radio astronomy, planetary missions and earth observation. acknowledgement: "We thank F.

Interestingly, the X has undergone turnover in multiple fly species (Diptera) after being conserved for more than 450 MY. The long evolutionary distance between Diptera and other sequenced insect clades makes it difficult to infer what could have contributed to this sudden increase in rate of turnover. Here, we produce the first genome and transcriptome of a long overlooked sister-order to Diptera: Mecoptera. We compare the scorpionfly Panorpa cognata X-chromosome gene content, expression, and structure, to that of several dipteran species as well as more distantly-related insect orders (Orthoptera and Blattodea). We find high conservation of gene content between the mecopteran X and the dipteran Muller F element, as well as several shared biological features, such as the presence of dosage compensation and a low amount of genetic diversity, consistent with a low recombination rate. However, the two homologous X chromosomes differ strikingly in their size and number of genes they carry. Our results therefore support a common ancestry of the mecopteran and ancestral dipteran X chromosomes, and suggest that Muller element F shrank in size and gene content after the split of Diptera and Mecoptera, which may have contributed to its turnover in dipteran insects.' acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp acknowledgement: "We thank the Vicoso lab for their assistance with specimen collection, and Tim Connallon for valuable comments and suggestions on earlier versions of the manuscript.

Tunable directionality can be achieved by applying external magnetic fields that modify optical selection rules, by using nonlinear effects, or interactions with vibrations. However, these approaches are less suitable to control microwave photon propagation inside integrated superconducting quantum devices. Here, we demonstrate on-demand tunable directional scattering based on two periodically modulated transmon qubits coupled to a transmission line at a fixed distance. By changing the relative phase between the modulation tones, we realize unidirectional forward or backward photon scattering. Such an in-situ switchable mirror represents a versatile tool for intra- and inter-chip microwave photonic processors. In the future, a lattice of qubits can be used to realize topological circuits that exhibit strong nonreciprocity or chirality. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: M-Shop - _id: NanoFab acknowledgement: The authors thank W.D.

Whereas it is well established that single-cell migration is often guided by gradients of chemokines and other chemoattractants, it remains poorly understood how these gradients are generated, maintained, and modulated. By combining experimental data with theory on leukocyte chemotaxis guided by the G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) CCR7, we demonstrate that in addition to its role as the sensory receptor that steers migration, CCR7 also acts as a generator and a modulator of chemotactic gradients. Upon exposure to the CCR7 ligand CCL19, dendritic cells (DCs) effectively internalize the receptor and ligand as part of the canonical GPCR desensitization response. We show that CCR7 internalization also acts as an effective sink for the chemoattractant, dynamically shaping the spatiotemporal distribution of the chemokine. This mechanism drives complex collective migration patterns, enabling DCs to create or sharpen chemotactic gradients. We further show that these self-generated gradients can sustain the long-range guidance of DCs, adapt collective migration patterns to the size and geometry of the environment, and provide a guidance cue for other comigrating cells. Such a dual role of CCR7 as a GPCR that both senses and consumes its ligand can thus provide a novel mode of cellular self-organization. acknowledgement: "We thank I. de Vries and the Scientific Service Units (Life Sciences, Bioimaging, Nanofabrication, Preclinical and Miba Machine Shop) of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria for excellent support, as well as all the rotation students assisting in the laboratory work (B.
