Fireflies that gather in swarms synchronize their flashing with rhythmic periodicity and provide insights into a new mechanism for the emergence of synchrony and periodicity.
A key finding is that MCAK binds to the proximal region of GTP cap where GDP‧Pi-tubulins accumulate, in addition to curved protofilaments at the distalmost tip.
The review proposes a novel mechanistic distinction between first- and second-order traveling waves that subserves a same canonical computation by ordering neuronal processing to impose a computational syntax.
