The paper examines how three neuropeptides affect a neural circuit in crabs, finding that their effects overlap significantly across individuals, challenging the assumption of distinct modulatory patterns.

The paper investigates how comodulation by multiple neuromodulators reduces interindividual variability in neural circuit output in the crab pyloric circuit.

The paper investigates electrical coupling resonance in neurons and finds that coupling coefficient resonance arises from postjunctional neuron resonance, while coupling conductance resonance may originate from other factors.

The paper investigates how synaptic dynamics maintain consistent activity phases in an oscillatory neural circuit despite inter-individual variability.

The paper maps neural circuit dynamics across functional and dysfunctional states using statistical features of spike times in the pyloric circuit of C. borealis.

The paper investigates how synaptic dynamics maintain neuronal burst phase in an oscillatory network despite frequency variations.

The paper investigates co-modulation rules of synaptic and voltage-gated currents by neuromodulators in the crab stomatogastric ganglion, finding sublinear co-modulation for voltage-gated currents.

The paper describes an educational pipeline for single-neuron gene expression analysis using RNA knockdown and electrophysiological measurements in crustacean ganglion neurons.
