A comparison of Euclidean metrics and their application in statistical inferences in the spike train space [PDF]
Statistical analysis and inferences on spike trains are one of the central topics in neural coding. It is of great interest to understand the underlying distribution and geometric structure of given spike train data. However, a fundamental obstacle is that the space of all spike trains is not an Euclidean space, and non-Euclidean metrics have been ...

Signal Processing in the Retina: Interpretable Graph Classifier to Predict Ganglion Cell Responses [PDF]
It is a popular hypothesis in neuroscience that ganglion cells in the retina are activated by selectively detecting visual features in an observed scene. While ganglion cell firings can be predicted via data-trained deep neural nets, the networks remain indecipherable, thus providing little understanding of the cells' underlying operations.

Influence of mesodermal Fgf8 on the differentiation of neural crest-derived postganglionic neurons [PDF]
The interaction between the cranial neural crest (NC) and the epibranchial placode is critical for the formation of parasympathetic and visceral sensory ganglia, respectively.

Abstract Aim Because of their stable expression, some EF‐hand Ca2+‐binding proteins are broadly used as histochemical markers of neurons in the nervous system. Secretagogin is a member of “neuron‐specific” Ca2+‐sensor proteins, yet variations in its expression due, chiefly, to neuronal activity remain ambiguous.

Is there a general trait of susceptibility to simultaneous contrast? [PDF]
Individuals differ in their susceptibility to simultaneous contrast. Are the underlying differences in neural machinery conserved across different stimulus dimensions?

Afterimage duration differs for migraine with or without aura
Abstract Background It is controversial to what extent afterimages, as distinct visual phenomena, are altered in patients with migraine and whether they have a specific role in migraine pathophysiology. Objective The aim of this cross‐sectional study was to investigate the duration of afterimages in patients with migraine, migraine with aura (MwA), and

TrkB expression and dependence divides gustatory neurons into three subpopulations
Background During development, gustatory (taste) neurons likely undergo numerous changes in morphology and expression prior to differentiation into maturity, but little is known this process or the factors that regulate it.

Temporal Dynamics of Binocular Disparity Processing with Corticogeniculate Interactions [PDF]
A neural model is developed to probe how corticogeniculate feedback may contribute to the dynamics of binocular vision. Feedforward and feedback interactions among retinal, lateral geniculate, and cortical simple and complex cells are used to simulate ...

Geniculate ganglion neurons have individual tastes [PDF]
The majority of neurons in the geniculate ganglion — which receives inputs from taste receptor cells on the tongue — are singly tuned to a particular taste quality.

R‐Ras1 and R‐Ras2 regulate mature oligodendrocyte subpopulations
Main Points R‐Ras1 and R‐Ras2 are differentially expressed in mature oligodendrocytes subpopulations MOL1, MOL2 and MOL5/6. Lack of R‐Ras1 and R‐Ras2 produces an imbalance in mature oligodendrocyte subpopulation proportions. Abstract In the mammalian central nervous system, axonal myelination, executed by mature oligodendrocytes (MOLs), enables rapid ...
