Pellicin ([2E]-3-phenyl-1-[2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,6-benzodioxocin-8-yl]prop-2-en-1-one) was identified in a chemical genetics screen of 10,000 small molecules for its ability to completely abolish pellicle production in Gluconacetobacter xylinus.Cells grown in the presence of pellicin grew 1.5 times faster than untreated cells.Interestingly, growth i

Neural avalanches are collective firings of neurons that exhibit emergent scale-free behavior.Understanding the nature and distribution of these avalanches is an important element in understanding how the brain functions.We study a model of neural avalanches for which the dynamics are governed by neutral theory.The neural avalanches are defined usi
