    Annihilation of action potentials induces electrical coupling between neurons

    Moritz Schloetter, Georg U Maret, Christoph J Kleineidam
    Action potentials of neurons expel a charge when they reach the axon terminal, and classical electrodynamics predict the resulting electric fields and its influence to other neurons by ephaptic coupling.

    Modularity of the segmentation clock and morphogenesis

    James E Hammond, Ruth E Baker, Berta Verd
    Computational modelling suggests that the segmentation clock and the morphogenesis of the pre-somitic mesoderm exhibit developmental modularity, enabling the independent evolution of these processes and possibly contributing to the high evolvability of vertebrate segment number.
