Logarithmically scaled, gamma distributed neuronal spiking

D Levenstein, M Okun - The Journal of Physiology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Naturally log‐scaled quantities abound in the nervous system. Distributions of these
quantities have non‐intuitive properties, which have implications for data analysis and the …

Perspectives on adaptive dynamical systems

J Sawicki, R Berner, SAM Loos, M Anvari… - … Journal of Nonlinear …, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
Adaptivity is a dynamical feature that is omnipresent in nature, socio-economics, and
technology. For example, adaptive couplings appear in various real-world systems, such as …

Population spiking and bursting in next-generation neural masses with spike-frequency adaptation

A Ferrara, D Angulo-Garcia, A Torcini, S Olmi - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Spike-frequency adaptation (SFA) is a fundamental neuronal mechanism taking into account
the fatigue due to spike emissions and the consequent reduction of the firing activity. We …

Viral strategies for targeting spinal neuronal subtypes in adult wild-type rodents

J Kaur, RW Berg - Scientific Reports, 2022 - nature.com
Targeting specific subtypes of interneurons in the spinal cord is primarily restricted to a small
group of genetic model animals. Since the development of new transgenic model animals …

Sparse Firing in a Hybrid Central Pattern Generator for Spinal Motor Circuits

B Strohmer, E Najarro, J Ausborn, RW Berg… - Neural …, 2024 - direct.mit.edu
Central pattern generators are circuits generating rhythmic movements, such as walking.
The majority of existing computational models of these circuits produce antagonistic output …

The spinal premotor network driving scratching flexor and extensor alternation

M Yao, A Nagamori, E Azim, T Sharpee, M Goulding… - bioRxiv, 2025 - biorxiv.org

Emergence of in vitro preparations and their contribution to understanding the neural control of behavior in vertebrates

J Keifer - Journal of Neurophysiology, 2022 - journals.physiology.org
One of the longstanding goals of the field of neuroscience is to understand the neural control
of behavior in both invertebrate and vertebrate species. A series of early discoveries showed …

Cell-type-specific origins of locomotor rhythmicity at different speeds in larval zebrafish

MA Agha, S Kishore, DL McLean - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Different speeds of locomotion require heterogeneous spinal populations, but a common
mode of rhythm generation is presumed to exist. Here, we explore the cellular versus …

Spatial and network principles behind neural generation of locomotion

S Komi, A Winther, GA Houser, T Topilko… - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Generation of locomotion is a fundamental function of the spinal cord, yet the underlying
principles remain unclear. In particular, the relationship between neuronal cell types …

[PDF][PDF] Increased spinal excitation causes decreased locomotor complexity

ML de Graaf, L Mochizuki, H Wagner, C Le - researchgate.net
