Rhythmicity is a universal timing mechanism in the brain, and the rhythmogenic mechanisms
are generally dynamic. This is illustrated for the neuronal control of breathing, a behavior …

CLARITY is a tissue clearing method, which enables immunostaining and imaging of large
volumes for 3D-reconstruction. The method was initially time-consuming, expensive and …

Hippocampal place cells receive a disparate collection of excitatory and inhibitory currents
that endow them with spatially selective discharges and rhythmic activity. Using a …

When spinal circuits generate rhythmic movements it is important that the neuronal activity
remains within stable bounds to avoid saturation and to preserve responsiveness. Here, we …

The spinal cord contains a diverse array of interneurons that govern motor output.
Traditionally, models of spinal circuits have emphasized the role of inhibition in enforcing …

Correct operation of neuronal networks depends on the interplay between synaptic
excitation and inhibition processes leading to a dynamic state termed balanced network. In …

Motor fatigue occurring during prolonged physical activity has both peripheral and central
origins. It was previously demonstrated that the excitability of motoneurons was decreased …

Neuronal networks in the turtle spinal cord have considerable computational complexity
even in the absence of connections with supraspinal structures. These networks contain …

Understanding the magnitude and structure of interneuronal correlations and their
relationship to synaptic connectivity structure is an important and difficult problem in …
