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.

The spatial and temporal patterns of eye movements exhibited by humans in virtual reality reveal how they plan paths when navigating in complex, naturalistic environments.

In paediatric concussions, there are a multiplicity of ways that brain damage gives rise to symptoms, most of which are missed by conventional statistical approaches and study designs.

Six- to twelve-month old infants, who have little linguistic or object experience, classify objects by relying on a invariant representation of global shape known as the shape skeleton.

Photobleaching and recovery of a fluorescent glutamate sensor enable demonstration of the distinct spatial architectures of spontaneous versus evoked forms of glutamatergic neurotransmission within single synapses.

The explanation of why older people show increased behavioral variability despite having decreased neural signal variability lies in the link between the dynamics of the ongoing neural signal and the trial-by-trial variability of neural evoked responses.

Functional imaging (fMRI) across four mammalian species maps the brain areas engaging in burst-suppression activity during anesthesia, and uncovers differences between primates and rodents.

Fluorescent glutamate sensors shed light on the microscopic organization underlining spontaneous neurotransmission.

A standardized comparison of contractile force among in vitro muscle tissues across different platforms requires proper normalization with the contractile area and complementary morphological, maturation, and functional analysis to reduce variability and boost a new generation of engineered constructs.

Colored surfaces induce gamma oscillations in human early visual cortex that are equally strong for red and green colors when L-M cone contrast is controlled for.
