    • Computing Complex Visual Features with Retinal Spike Times 

      Gütig, Robert; Gollisch, Tim; Sompolinsky, Haim I; Meister, Markus (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Neurons in sensory systems can represent information not only by their firing rate, but also by the precise timing of individual spikes. For example, certain retinal ganglion cells, first identified in the salamander, ...

    • Normalized Neural Representations of Complex Odors 

      Zwicker, David (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      The olfactory system removes correlations in natural odors using a network of inhibitory neurons in the olfactory bulb. It has been proposed that this network integrates the response from all olfactory receptors and inhibits ...

    • A Possible Role for Integrin Signaling in Diffuse Axonal Injury 

      Hemphill, Matthew Allen; Dabiri, Borna Esfahani; Gabriele, Sylvain; Kerscher, Lucas; Franck, Christian; Goss, Josue; Alford, Patrick W.; Parker, Kevin Kit (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2011)
      Over the past decade, investigators have attempted to establish the pathophysiological mechanisms by which non-penetrating injuries damage the brain. Several studies have implicated either membrane poration or ion channel ...

    • Rabies Internalizes into Primary Peripheral Neurons via Clathrin Coated Pits and Requires Fusion at the Cell Body 

      Piccinotti, Silvia; Whelan, Sean P. J. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      The single glycoprotein (G) of rabies virus (RABV) dictates all viral entry steps from receptor engagement to membrane fusion. To study the uptake of RABV into primary neuronal cells in culture, we generated a recombinant ...
