NeuroDisco provides optogenetic stimulation to neuronal cultures to reduce synchronized bursting and enable functional analysis of neuronal activity.

This study examines how social context and decision-making affect neural activity in adults who stutter compared to controls using fMRI and behavioral tasks.

The paper shows that population coding in cortical neurons depends on precise physiological parameters, validated through experiments on mouse barrel cortex neurons.

The paper investigates how intrinsic spike frequency adaptation (I-SFA) and inhibitory circuit dynamics contribute to extrinsic-SFA (E-SFA) in primate lateral prefrontal cortex neurons during behavior.

The paper examines single neuron diversity in primate visual cortical areas V1 and LPFC, finding differences in morphology, electrophysiology, and intrinsic bursting that may underlie functional specialization.

The paper decomposes the dynamic gain function to attribute network-level encoding features to specific cell-level parameters in neurons and models.

The paper investigates how axonal ion channel properties affect ultrafast population coding in cortical neurons, finding that voltage sensitivity, not quantity or location, determines coding speed and high-frequency response.

The paper shows that prefrontal interneurons adjust their sensitivity to high-frequency oscillations based on background activity, enhancing gamma and ripple responses during slow brain states.

The paper shows that 30% of inner hair cells in the rodent cochlea form electrochemical mini-syncytia through membrane fusion, enhancing sound encoding sensitivity and reliability.
