Neuronal oscillations enhance stimulus discrimination by ensuring action potential precision.
PLoS Biology, 2006 Although oscillations in membrane potential are a prominent feature of sensory, motor, and cognitive function, their precise role in signal processing remains elusive.

The effects of membrane potential oscillations on the excitability of rat hypoglossal motoneurons
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Oscillations in membrane potential induced by synaptic inputs and intrinsic ion channel activity play a role in regulating neuronal excitability, but the precise mechanisms underlying their contributions remain largely unknown.

An agent-based model of metabolic signaling oscillations in Bacillus subtilis biofilms. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyMicrobes of nearly every species can form biofilms, communities of cells bound together by a self-produced matrix. It is not understood how variation at the cellular level impacts putatively beneficial, colony-level behaviors, such as cell-to-cell ...

The mitochondrial membrane potential and Ca2+ oscillations in smooth muscle [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2008 Ca2+ uptake by mitochondria might both modulate the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c) and depolarize the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) to limit ATP production. To investigate how physiological Ca2+ signaling might affect energy production, ΔΨm was examined during Ca2+ oscillations in smooth muscle cells.

The relationship between respiration-related membrane potential slow oscillations and discharge patterns in mitral/tufted cells: what are the rules? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 A slow respiration-related rhythm strongly shapes the activity of the olfactory bulb. This rhythm appears as a slow oscillation that is detectable in the membrane potential, the respiration-related spike discharge of the mitral/tufted cells and the ...
