Place Cells, Grid Cells, Attractors, and Remapping by Kathryn J. Jeffery

“…Attractor dynamics may explain both why neurons react coherently following sufficiently large changes to the environment (discrete attractors) and how firing patterns move smoothly from one representation to the next as an animal moves through space (continuous attractors). …”

One in a Million: A Case Report of Stiff Person Syndrome by Ruchi Yadav, Neeraj Abrol, Sima Terebelo

“…Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare autoimmune disease caused by lack of inhibition to excitatory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system (CNS) leading to inappropriate motor unit firing. The pathophysiology is incompletely understood; however, high titers of antiglutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (anti-GAD Ab) are strongly associated with this disease. …”

Architecture vernaculaire de terre et évacuation des eaux by Blandine Besnard

“…Gradually abandoned since the 1970s, the vernacular heritage of the interior region of Oman is experiencing its last fires and there is an urgent need to collect both ethnological and architectural data before they definitely fall into the domain of History and Archaeology.With this in mind, a survey aiming to identify water drainage installations in three traditional mud-brick neighbourhoods in the interior of Oman (Birkat al‑Mawz, Izkī and al‑Ḥamrā') was carried out in March 2020.This survey highlighted the techniques and facilities related to water drainage in traditional Omani neighbourhoods that had never been the subject of any particular attention, but also opened up ethnoarchaeological perspectives, a discipline that postulates that ethnography can enrich the interpretation of archaeological data, or even the absence of the latter.Out of 359 identified installations, gargoyles represent 99% of the sample. …”

Presynaptic Ionotropic Receptors Controlling and Modulating the Rules for Spike Timing-Dependent Plasticity by Matthijs B. Verhoog, Huibert D. Mansvelder

“…In line with predictions made by Hebb, synapse strength can be modified depending on the millisecond timing of action potential firing (STDP). The sign of synaptic plasticity depends on the spike order of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons. …”

Dopaminergic signaling to ventral striatum neurons initiates sniffing behavior by Natalie L. Johnson, Anamaria Cotelo-Larrea, Lucas A. Stetzik, Umit M. Akkaya, Zihao Zhang, Marie A. Gadziola, Adrienn G. Varga, Minghong Ma, Daniel W. Wesson

“…Here, we report that dopamine release into the ventral striatum in mice is coupled with bouts of sniffing and that stimulation of dopaminergic terminals in these regions drives increases in respiratory rate to initiate sniffing whereas inhibition of these terminals reduces respiratory rate. Both the firing of individual neurons and the activity of post-synaptic D1 and D2 dopamine receptor-expressing neurons are coupled with sniffing and local antagonism of D1 and D2 receptors squelches sniffing. …”

Probing Neural Transplant Networks In Vivo with Optogenetics and Optogenetic fMRI by Andrew J. Weitz, Jin Hyung Lee

“…By combining targeted activation of transplanted neurons with large-scale, noninvasive measurements of brain activity, ofMRI can directly visualize the effect of engrafted neurons firing on downstream regions. Importantly, this tool can be used to identify not only whether transplanted neurons have functionally integrated into the brain, but also which regions they influence and how. …”

Reconciling Homeostatic and Use-Dependent Plasticity in the Context of Somatosensory Deprivation by John J. Orczyk, Preston E. Garraghty

“…The concept of homeostatic plasticity postulates that neurons maintain relatively stable rates of firing despite changing inputs. Homeostatic and use-dependent plasticity mechanisms operate concurrently, although they have different requirements for induction. …”
