This study shows that spine-neck resistance in cortical pyramidal neurons affects temporal precision and inhibitory gating through biophysical modeling and connectomics analysis.

This study shows that olfactory training in mice increases neurogenesis in the olfactory epithelium, which improves odor discrimination in the olfactory bulb.

The paper identifies faster signal propagation in human neocortical dendrites compared to rodents, attributed to larger dendritic structures and conductance properties.

The paper develops a mathematical model to capture the complete behavioral repertoire of larval zebrafish hunting, revealing principles of movement and orientation during prey interaction.

The paper develops a 'Filter-and-Fire' neuron model that shows increased memory capacity and ability to recognize spatio-temporal patterns through multiple synaptic contacts on dendrites.
