There are ever more compelling tools available for neuroscience research, ranging from
selective genetic targeting to optogenetic circuit control to map** whole connectomes …

Neuronal action potentials or spikes provide a long-range, noise-resistant means of
communication between neurons. As point processes single spikes contain little information …

The three-volume work Perceiving in Depth is a sequel to Binocular Vision and Stereopsis
and to Seeing in Depth, both by Ian P. Howard and Brian J. Rogers. This work is much …

Bacillus anthracis is an endospore-forming bacterium that causes inhalational anthrax. Key
virulence genes are found on plasmids (extra-chromosomal, circular, double-stranded DNA …

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 …

Electroreception, the capacity to detect external underwater electric fields with specialised
receptors, is a phylogenetically widespread sensory modality in fishes and amphibians. In …

How should biological behaviour be modelled? A relatively new approach is to investigate
problems in neuroethology by building physical robot models of biological sensorimotor …

The polarity of Drosophila wing hairs displays remarkable fidelity. Each of the approximately
30,000 wing epithelial cells constructs an actin-rich prehair that protrudes from its distal …

Bioelectricity and triboelectrification are well-known and widely existing phenomena in
nature, and the investigation of their mechanisms and utilizations has attracted much …

(57) ABSTRACT A system and method used to assess animal behavior includes a module
having sensors that collects a variety of physical and biological data from a test subject …
