This study shows recurrent neural networks develop and evolve repeating spike sequences through synaptic plasticity, with structured inputs enabling stable yet flexible encoding.

The paper shows that Drosophila uses circuitry beyond photoreceptors to achieve luminance-invariant vision across different timescales through bidirectional gain control.

The paper investigates how efficient population coding in neural systems depends on stimulus convergence and noise sources, finding phase transition-like behavior in information transfer.

The paper investigates how AVB-B gap junctions in C. elegans facilitate undulatory wave propagation during forward locomotion through intrinsic motor neuron oscillations and proprioceptive coupling.
