Functional specialisation of multisensory temporal integration in the mouse superior colliculus

This study investigates how multisensory temporal integration occurs in the mouse superior colliculus by analyzing neural responses to audiovisual stimuli with varying temporal asynchronies.

PhotoNeuro: A compact photodetector for synchronization of visual stimulus presentation during behavioral experiments in neuroscience.

The paper introduces a compact photodetector for synchronizing visual stimuli in neuroscience experiments, designed to work with common hardware and software tools.

Synaptic contributions to cochlear outer hair cell Ca2+ homeostasis

The paper investigates Ca2+ influx mechanisms in cochlear outer hair cells, finding that synaptic VGCCs and MOC synapses contribute differently to Ca2+ homeostasis, with sorcin playing a regulatory role.

Loss of choline agonism in the inner ear hair cell nicotinic acetylcholine receptor linked to the α10 subunit

The paper investigates the reduced efficacy of choline as an agonist at mammalian 910 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, linking this change to evolutionary adaptations in the 10 subunit.

Unravelling the molecular players at the cholinergic efferent synapse of the zebrafish lateral line

The paper identifies α9-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α9* nAChRs) at the zebrafish lateral line efferent synapse, showing they mediate ACh-induced inhibition of hair cell activity through SK potassium channels.

Distinct evolutionary trajectories of neuronal and hair cell nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

The paper compares evolutionary trajectories of neuronal and hair cell nicotinic acetylcholine receptors across tetrapods, finding distinct patterns in sequence conservation, co-expression, and functional properties.
