Abstract: Across sensory systems, temporal frequency information is progressively transformed along ascending central pathways. Despite considerable effort to elucidate the mechanistic basis of these transformations, they remain poorly understood. Here we used a novel constellation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biom10091269
Abstract: Midbrain dopamine neurons have crucial functions in motor and emotional control and their degeneration leads to several neurological dysfunctions such as Parkinson’s disease, addiction, depression, schizophrenia, and others. Despite advances in the understanding of specific… read more here.
