    Sub-type specific connectivity between CA3 pyramidal neurons may underlie their sequential activation during sharp waves

    Rosanna P Sammons, Stefano Masserini ... Dietmar Schmitz
    The asymmetric connectivity between thorny and athorny pyramidal neurons in the CA3 region is the key in maintaining the separation of peak firing during sharp wave events.

    Adrián Páramo, Pedro Mocho ... Francisco Ortega
    Wide-gauge posture in the limb skeleton of Titanosauriformes is an exaptation to gigantism, as it is not correlated with body size in deeply branching titanosaurs.
