Many behavioral responses are completed too quickly for the underlying sensory processes to rely on estimation of neural firing rates over extended time windows....

Dietary balance between n-6 PUFA and n-3 PUFA probably plays a major role in the regulation of brain function. Some studies suggest that an n-3 PUFA deficiency...

Abstract Manganese (Mn2+) is an essential element for human body. The paramagnetic properties of Mn2+ permit it use as a contrast agent for MRI (Mn-MRI or MEMRI)....

During the past two decades, two-photon microscopy has become a powerful tool in neuroscience. Unlike other imaging methods like MRI, its spatial resolution is...

Excitable cells, such as neurons, produce action potentials (APs) that in extracellular recordings are often referred to as spikes. The contributions of each cell must...

Exosomes are vesicles of endocytic origin released by cells into their environment on fusion of multivesicular endosomes with the plasma membrane. They represent a...
