Authors Engelken R, Monteforte M, Wolf F   Journal Arxiv   Citation arXiv:2412.21188.   Abstract Nerve impulses, the currency of information flow in the brain, are generated by an instability of the neuronal membrane potential dynamics. Neuronal circuits exhibit collective chaos that appears essential for learning, memory, sensory processing, and

Abstract Obesity, a pandemic, worldwide afflicts almost one billion people. Obesity and ageing share several pathological pathways

Authors Jaime Tobón LM, Moser T Journal eLife Citation Elife. 2024 Dec 24;12:RP93749. Abstract Neural diversity can expand the encoding capacity of a circuitry. A striking example of diverse structure and function is presented by the afferent synapses between inner hair cells (IHCs) and spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in the

Authors Oestreicher D, Chepurwar S, Kusch K, Rankovic V, Jung S, Strenzke N, Pangrsic T Journal eLife Citation Elife. 2024 Dec 24;13:RP93646. Abstract To encode continuous sound stimuli, the inner hair cell (IHC) ribbon synapses utilize calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs), which reduce the inactivation of their CaV1.3 calcium channels. Mutations in

Authors Blob A, Ventzke D, Rölleke U, Nies G, Munk A, Schaedel L, Köster S   Journal Soft Matter   Citation Soft Matter, 2025.   Abstract The eukaryotic cytoskeleton is an intricate network of three types of mechanically distinct biopolymers — actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments (IFs). These filamentous

Authors Schmidt A, Hiemeyer P, Wolf F Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2305.13420. Abstract Distributions of neuronal activity within cortical circuits are often found to display highly skewed shapes with many neurons emitting action potentials at low or vanishing rates, while some are active at high rates. Theoretical studies were able to
