Adapting neural representation to rapidly changing behavioural demands is a key challenge for the nervous system. Here, we demonstrate that output of primary olfactory area mouse, bulb, already target dynamic and reproducible modulation. The modulation depends on stimulus tuning given neuron, making responses more discriminable through selective amplification in demand-specific way.
SignificanceMany microbial populations proliferate in small channels. In such environments, reproducing cells organize parallel lanes. Reproducing shift these lanes, potentially expelling other from the channel. this paper, we combine theory and experiments to understand how dynamics affects diversity of a population. We theoretically predict that genetic is quickly lost along lanes cells. Our confirm population proliferating Escherichia coli microchannel organizes into genetically identical...
In sensory systems of the brain, mechanisms exist to extract distinct features from stimuli generate a variety behavioral repertoires. These often correspond different cell types at various stages in processing. mammalian olfactory system, complex information processing starts bulb, whose output is conveyed by mitral cells (MCs) and tufted (TCs). Despite many differences between them, despite crucial position they occupy hierarchy, Cre-driver lines that distinguish them do not yet exist....
Planktonic communities are extremely diverse and include a vast number of rare species. The dynamics these species is best described by individual-based models. However, approaches to planktonic diversity face substantial difficulties, due the large individuals required make realistic predictions. In this paper, we study means spatial coalescence model that incorporates transport oceanic currents. As main advantage, our approach requires simulating equal size sample one interested in, rather...
Abstract In each sensory system of the brain, mechanisms exist to extract distinct features from stimuli generate a variety behavioural repertoires. These often correspond different cell types at some stage in processing. mammalian olfactory system, complex information processing starts bulb, whose output is conveyed by mitral and tufted cells (MCs TCs). Despite many differences between them, despite crucial position they occupy hierarchy, little known how these two projection neurons differ...
Bacteria are unicellular organisms whose length is usually around a few micrometers. Advances in microfabrication techniques have enabled the design and implementation of microdevices to confine observe bacterial colony growth. Microstructures hosting bacteria microchannels for nutrient perfusion require separate procedures due different feature size requirements. This fact increases complexity device integration assembly process. Furthermore, long-term imaging dynamics over tens hours...
