Millisecond, micron precision multi-whisker detector. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The neural mechanisms of somatosensory information processing in the rodent vibrissae system are a topic of intense debate and research. Certain hypotheses emphasize the importance of stick-slip whisker motion, high-frequency resonant vibrations, and/or ...

An ultraluminous nascent millisecond pulsar [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2015 Abstract If the ultraluminous source (ULX) M82 X-2 sustains its measured spin-up value of $\dot{\nu }= 10^{-10}\,{\rm s^{-2}}$, it will become a millisecond pulsar in less than 105 yr. The observed (isotropic) luminosity of 1040 erg s−1 also supports the notion that the neutron star will spin up to a millisecond period upon accreting ...

Loss of Melanopsin Photoreception and Antagonism of the Histamine H3 Receptor by Ciproxifan Inhibit Light-Induced Sleep in Mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Light has direct effects on sleep and wakefulness causing arousal in diurnal animals and sleep in nocturnal animals. In the present study, we assessed the modulation of light-induced sleep by melanopsin and the histaminergic system by exposing mice to ...

Do all millisecond pulsars share a common heritage? [PDF]
AIP Conf.Proc.1280:57-64,2010, 2009 The discovery of millisecond pulsations from neutron stars in low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) systems has substantiated the theoretical prediction that links millisecond radio pulsars (MSRPs) and LMXBs. Since then, the process that produces millisecond radio pulsars from LMXBs, followed by spin-down due to dipole radiation has been conceived as the ...

Single Photon Kilohertz Frame Rate Imaging of Neural Activity
Advanced Science, 2022 Establishing the biological basis of cognition and its disorders will require high precision spatiotemporal measurements of neural activity. Recently developed genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs) report both spiking and subthreshold activity ...

Highlights of Astronomy, 1989 AbstractMillisecond pulsars are intrinsically interesting because they illustrate some of the most extreme physical conditions to be found anywhere in the Universe, and because their evolution exhibits several stages of great drama. It had been widely believed for several years that spin-up of an old neutron star by accretion from a close stellar ...

The Braking Index of Millisecond Magnetars [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2017 Abstract We make the first measurement of the braking index n of two putative millisecond magnetars born in short gamma-ray bursts. We measure and for millisecond magnetars born in GRB 130603B and GRB ...

A decade of transitional millisecond pulsars [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2017 AbstractTransitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs), which are systems that harbor a pulsar in the throes of the recycling process, have emerged as a new source class since the discovery of the first such system a decade ago. These systems switch between accretion-powered low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) and rotation-powered radio millisecond pulsar (RMSP ...
