The paper develops a statistical framework to analyze how mobility affects synchronization and pattern robustness in mobile oscillators during vertebrate embryonic development.

This study investigates neuronal synchronization in Drosophila, showing that lateral ventral neurons (LNvs) exhibit oscillatory activity that is exogenously produced and can synchronize with specific lags.

This paper investigates how different Notch ligands contribute to the synchronization of the segmentation clock in zebrafish through two competing hypotheses about Delta ligand interactions.

The paper uses live imaging in zebrafish to show that Tbx6 expression waves, driven by Hes/Her genes, prefigure somite boundaries by arresting in boundary cells that later express Mesp.

The paper shows that immature granule cells in the dentate gyrus enhance population-level stimulus encoding and discrimination despite their individual unreliability.

The paper measures ERK activity dynamics in mouse embryonic stem cells in response to FGF4 and finds oscillations that vary with FGF4 dose and cell state.

The paper investigates pattern recovery in the zebrafish segmentation clock by resynchronizing cells after inhibiting Notch signaling and develops a model to explain the observed intermingling of normal and defective segments.
