Reciprocal functional interactions between the respiration/circulation center, the upper spinal cord, and the trigeminal system

open access: yesTranslational Neuroscience, 2015
The interplay of neural discharge patterns involved in “respiration”, “circulation”, “opening movements in the mandible”, and “locomotion” was investigated electrophysiologically in a decerebrate and arterially perfused in situ rat preparation ...

Octopaminergic modulation of contrast sensitivity

open access: yesFrontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2012
Sensory systems adapt to prolonged stimulation by decreasing their response to prevailing stimulus conditions. Whereas visual motion adaptation has traditionally been studied in immobilized animals, recent work indicates that the animal’s behavioral ...

FICTIVE MOTION IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This paper analyzes fictive motion expressions in English and Spanish with the twofold aim of (a) finding out whether the differences that have been reported in the expression of motion in English and Spanish also apply to fictive motion, and (b ...

Fish in the Matrix: motor learning in a virtual world

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013
One of the large remaining challenges in the field of zebrafish neuroscience is the establishment of techniques and preparations that permit the recording and perturbation of neural activity in animals that can interact meaningfully with the environment.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Watching Fictive Motion in Action: Discourse Data from the TV News Archive [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Fictive Motion is a type of figurative language used to express static visual scenes in terms of motion, for example, ”The road runs along the river” or ”The scar runs down his back”.

Solving wave problems in infinite domain by using variable local DtN operators

open access: yesComputer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2023
This paper presents an iterative method for solving two-dimensional wave problems in infinite domains. The method yields a solution that satisfies Sommerfeld's radiation condition, as required for the correct solution of infinite domains excited only ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
