Information Theory and Direction Selectivity [PDF]

arXiv
In this brief paper, the authors study the tuning curves of starburst amacrine cells (SACs) and introduce a quantity called the irresolution or ambiguity of a SAC. They show that the rate of data generated by a starburst amacrine cell is inversely proportional to its irresolution.

Chin up: A novel functional explanation for the evolution of the chin

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The human chin, also frequently referred to as the mental prominence, is a part of the human anatomy whose evolutionary origin and function have divided scientific opinion to this day. There were suggestions it could have been used in defence, assisted in the mastication process, aided in the formation of words (i.e.

ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important

Sex differences in the vasoactive effect of transient receptor potential channels: TRPM3 as a new therapeutic target for (neuro)vascular disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 11, Page 2503-2523, June 2025.
Abstract Background and Purpose Sex‐dependent vascular effects of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and sex dimorphism in migraine are not yet fully characterized. We investigated the differential vasoactive effects of TRP ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), TRP melastatin 3 (TRPM3) and TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels, their pharmacological mechanism(s), and

Effect of time to initiation and dose of methylprednisolone on outcome in multiple sclerosis‐related optic neuritis

Clinical and Experimental Neuroimmunology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives It is known that the benefit of intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) in multiple sclerosis‐related optic neuritis (MS‐ON) is limited to an accelerated recovery. We aimed to evaluate the impact of time from symptoms onset to IVMP initiation and of IVMP dose on visual recovery among people with MS‐ON.
