A mobile optical coherence microscope for studying aquatic organisms in- and outside the laboratory

This paper introduces a mobile optical coherence microscope for high-resolution, label-free imaging of aquatic organisms in both lab and field settings, enabling detailed morphological and dynamic analysis.

Pupillometry Reveals Autonomic Adjustments During Diving Reflex in Face Immersion Apnea

This study examines pupil diameter oscillations (hippus) during the diving reflex in apnea with and without facial immersion, finding changes in autonomic balance and signal complexity.

Callosal inputs generate side-invariant receptive fields in the barrel cortex

The paper investigates how callosal inputs contribute to ipsilateral tactile signaling in the barrel cortex, finding that some neurons respond similarly to contralateral and ipsilateral whisker stimulation.

Medium spiny neurons activity reveals the discrete segregation of mouse dorsal striatum

The paper identifies two non-overlapping functional circuits in the mouse dorsal striatum, separated by a sharp boundary, revealing distinct neuronal properties and connectivity patterns.

Visual salience of the stop-signal affects neural dynamics of controlled inhibition

This study investigates how the salience of a stop-signal affects neural dynamics of controlled inhibition in macaque monkeys, showing that less salient signals impair inhibitory performance.
