Preferential Pharmacological Inhibition of Nav1.6, but not Nav1.1, Abolishes Epileptiform Activity Induced by 4-AP in Mouse Cortical Slices

This study investigates the effects of inhibiting specific voltage-gated sodium channel isoforms on epileptiform activity in mouse cortical slices, finding that Nav1.6 inhibition is more effective than Nav1.1 inhibition.

The neural computations for stimulus presence and modal identity diverge along a shared circuit

This study investigates how the brain represents stimulus presence and modal identity using neural recordings from non-human primates, finding distinct spatiotemporal dynamics in S1 and PMv cortices.

Leveraging non-human primate multisensory neurons and circuits in assessing consciousness theory

The paper analyzes neuronal activity in non-human primates under anesthesia to compare consciousness theories, finding convergent neurons show greater consciousness-related properties than integrative neurons.
