The paper shows that calcium channel isoform diversity increases variance in gating properties, enhancing neuronal excitability robustness to perturbations.

The paper shows that motoneurons compensate for extra spikes by delaying subsequent spikes, maintaining rate coding fidelity during flight behavior.

The paper identifies a neural circuit mechanism in insect flight where electrical synapses de-synchronize motoneurons to produce stable wingbeat power.
