The paper investigates how intrinsic spike frequency adaptation (I-SFA) and inhibitory circuit dynamics contribute to extrinsic-SFA (E-SFA) in primate lateral prefrontal cortex neurons during behavior.

The paper examines single neuron diversity in primate visual cortical areas V1 and LPFC, finding differences in morphology, electrophysiology, and intrinsic bursting that may underlie functional specialization.

BigNeuron benchmarks automatic neuron reconstruction algorithms using gold standard annotations and image quality metrics, showing that consensus methods outperform individual algorithms.

The paper shows that prefrontal interneurons adjust their sensitivity to high-frequency oscillations based on background activity, enhancing gamma and ripple responses during slow brain states.

The paper shows lactate enhances cortical neuron spiking activity through KATP channels and is preferentially used as an energy substrate over glucose.

The paper shows H3K9ac increases basal progenitor proliferation and neocortex size by upregulating TRNP1 in evolution.

The paper introduces Neural Collision Detection, an open-source library for analyzing 3D interactions of neurons and tree-like structures, with use cases on real neuronal and vascular data.

The paper shows sensory input drives rapid homeostatic scaling of the axon initial segment in mouse barrel cortex, with sensory deprivation increasing AIS length and excitability, while enrichment shortens AIS and reduces action potential generation.

The paper shows that VIP neurons in reeler mice, lacking cortical layers, have increased callosal connectivity and altered long-range inputs, suggesting functional circuits can form without layer organization.

The paper identifies a subset of VIP neurons in mouse barrel cortex that switch firing modes from burst to tonic in response to neuromodulators.
