This review provides the latest developments and trends in the application of fractional
calculus (FC) in biomedicine and biology. Nature has often showed to follow rather simple …

Adaptation is a common principle that recurs throughout the nervous system at all stages of
processing. This principle manifests in a variety of phenomena, from spike frequency …

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), a non-invasive and well-tolerated form of
electric brain stimulation, can influence perception, memory, as well as motor and cognitive …

Adaptation is fundamental to life. All organisms adapt over timescales that span from
evolution to generations and lifetimes to moment-by-moment interactions. The nervous …

When a neuron breaks silence, it can emit action potentials in a number of patterns. Some
responses are so sudden and intense that electrophysiologists felt the need to single them …

Exploratory whisking in rat is an example of self-generated movement on multiple
timescales, from slow variations in the envelope of whisking to the rapid sequence of muscle …

In the neocortex, neuronal processing of sensory events is significantly influenced by
context. For instance, responses in sensory cortices are suppressed to repetitive or …

Understanding how populations of neurons encode information is the challenge faced by
researchers in the field of neural coding. Focusing on the many mysteries and marvels of the …

Animals depend on fast and reliable detection of novel stimuli in their environment. Neurons
in multiple sensory areas respond more strongly to novel in comparison to familiar stimuli …

Highlights•Short-term depression and facilitation act as dynamic control mechanisms
through which a sensory system produces adaptation or sensitization.•Different dynamics of …
