This study shows that synaptic facilitation improves the reliability and precision of high-frequency neurotransmission in mouse auditory brainstem neurons at low extracellular Ca2+ concentrations.

This study investigates the role of astrocyte gap junctions and Kir channels in K+ buffering and neuronal excitability by blocking these mechanisms in cortical slices.

The paper shows that pre-sensory spontaneous activity initiates and drives synaptic maturation but can be partially compensated for in its absence.

The paper identifies Kv3.1 as a key channel enabling ultranarrow spikes in songbird RAPNs, analogous to Betz cells in primates, supporting precise motor control.

This study identifies the kynurenine metabolic pathway as a key factor in sustaining neuropathic pain through interactions between meningeal dendritic cells and astrocytes.

This study identifies resurgent Na+ currents in zebra finch projection neurons that enable ultrafast spiking for fine motor control.

The paper investigates the functional role of dendrites in MNTB neurons, finding that dendritic growth reduces EPSP decay time, enhancing signal precision.
