Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Noise reduction of coincidence detector output by the inferior colliculus of the barn owl [PDF]

, 2006
A recurring theme in theoretical work is that integration over populations of similarly tuned neurons can reduce neural noise. However, there are relatively few demonstrations of an explicit noise reduction mechanism in a neural network.

Exploration of the functional consequences of fixational eye movements in the absence of a fovea. [PDF]

, 2020
A recent theory posits that ocular drifts of fixational eye movements serve to reformat the visual input of natural images, so that the power of the input image is equalized across a range of spatial frequencies.

Sensorimotor maps can be dynamically calibrated using an adaptive-filter model of the cerebellum.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2019
Substantial experimental evidence suggests the cerebellum is involved in calibrating sensorimotor maps. Consistent with this involvement is the well-known, but little understood, massive cerebellar projection to maps in the superior colliculus.

The tectonigral pathway regulates appetitive locomotion in predatory hunting in mice

Nature Communications, 2021
Goal-oriented movement is a fundamental animal behaviour. Here, the authors show that neurons in the superior colliculus project to the substantia nigra pars compacta, regulating dopaminergic signaling and specifically appetitive locomotion in mice.

A Novel Reporter Mouse Uncovers Endogenous Brn3b Expression. [PDF]

, 2019
Brn3b (Pou4f2) is a class-4 POU domain transcription factor known to play central roles in the development of different neuronal populations of the Central Nervous System, including retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the neurons that connect the retina with ...

The Search for Invertebrate Consciousness [PDF]

, 2020
There is no agreement on whether any invertebrates are conscious and no agreement on a methodology that could settle the issue. How can the debate move forward?

Abnormal Connectivity of the Head Neural Integrator in Cervical Dystonia

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cervical dystonia is characterized by abnormal neck and head movements, possibly related to a dysfunction of the interstitial nucleus of Cajal (INC) and the head neural integrator, a system responsible for the control of head and eye movements.

Chinese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Auditory Neuropathy (gCAN)

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Auditory neuropathy (AN) is an auditory disorder that affects the function of the auditory pathway. An increasing number of AN cases have been identified with the revelation of the underlying mechanisms, the advancements of diagnostic and detecting techniques.

Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for horses in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance also affects equine veterinarians with increasing frequency. Antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are essential for a future in which effective antimicrobials are available, as it is unlikely that new antimicrobials will become available for use in horses.
