Neurons that fire high-frequency bursts of spikes are found in various sensory systems.
Although the functional implications of burst firing might differ from system to system, bursts …

The nervous systems of most vertebrates include both the cerebellum and structures that are
architecturally similar to the cerebellum. The cerebellum-like structures are sensory …

Burst firing is commonly observed in many sensory systems and is proposed to transmit
information reliably. Although a number of biophysical burst mechanisms have been …

Sensory systems evolve in the ecological niches that each species is occupying.
Accordingly, encoding of natural stimuli by sensory neurons is expected to be adapted to the …

Understanding how neural populations encode sensory stimuli remains a central problem in
neuroscience. Here we performed multi-unit recordings from sensory neural populations in …

Pyramidal cells show marked variation in their morphology, including dendritic structure,
which is correlated with physiological diversity; however, it is not known how this variation is …

This chapter is an introduction to the central nervous system (CNS) anatomy of
electrosensory systems in fish. The neuroanatomy of these systems has been extensively …

According to Barlow's seminal" efficient coding hypothesis," the coding strategy of sensory
neurons should be matched to the statistics of stimuli that occur in an animal's natural …

The electric sense combines spatial aspects of vision and touch with temporal features of
audition. Its accessible neural architecture shares similarities with mammalian sensory …

Anthrax is an acute infectious disease with high mortality caused by bacillus anthracis,
which can severely harm human healthy. 2, 6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (DPA) is the main …
