hamPCR is a cost-effective and transformative amplicon sequencing strategy to describe microbiota composition and measure its overall abundance, applicable to all samples in which host and microbial DNA are co-extracted.
The postinspiratory complex acts as an interface between the swallow pattern generator and the preBötzinger complex to coordinate swallow and breathing.
Electrophysiological recordings in awake behaving monkeys show the first evidence of the effect of continuous theta-burst stimulation, a widely used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation protocol, at the level of single neurons.

Via the capacitance clamp, electrophysiologists can for the first time flexibly set an artificial membrane capacitance for neurons and other excitable cells and thereby adjust their membrane time constant independent of any conductance changes.

Multimodal spectroscopy (smFRET, EPR, SAXS, and SANS) and integrative structural modeling reveal large-scale domain rearrangements in human guanylate binding protein 1 (hGBP1) that are driving forces for the formation of oligomers that enable its biological function in innate immune defense.
The first non-invasive technique to assess the action of brain clearance mechanisms, driven by the perivascular inflow of cerebrospinal fluid, has been developed using magnetic resonance imaging.
Visualization methods display the dynamics of the currents in conductance-based model neurons, and show how their contribution changes in response to perturbation.
Neuronal networks with strong functional specificity of connections between excitatory and inhibitory neurons show specific dynamics of inhibitory stabilization, accompanied with rapid spontaneous activity transitions between highly selective functional states.
