The mechanism that couples two rhythmic circuits is maintained over a large temperature range although both circuits are temperature-sensitive.

Identification and functional characterization of C. elegans luqin-like arginine-tyrosine-NH2 (RYamide) peptides reveal their critical role in feeding-related processes.

Neurite geometry enables expansive and highly-branched neuronal structures to operate like single electrical compartments and simple linear integrators.

Reliable neuronal physiology can arise from variable and inefficient morphologies.

Decline in cervical cancer screening and challenges faced by healthcare professionals and patients when the pandemic was declared emphasize the importance of implementing human papillomavirus (HPV) primary screening, HPV self-sampling, and telemedicine to continue cervical cancer screening and care.

Nuanced changes in the mechanism of oscillation in reciprocally inhibitory circuits can profoundly alter the circuit stability in response to perturbations and inputs.

Neural networks like the crustacean cardiac ganglion employ multi-faceted compensatory mechanisms to achieve the stability and robustness that are critical to long-term function.

Dopamine is able to ensure that neural networks maintain critical features of their output, such as synchrony of neuron firing, by directly increasing coupling strength to ensure robust output is maintained.

The phase of a neuron in an oscillatory network can remain independent of network frequency when synaptic input strength and peak phase are adjusted in a frequency-dependent manner.

Animal-to-animal variability in neuronal geometry may be compensated for by compact electrotonic structure.
