Electrical Signals Propagate Unbiased in Cortex
The greater spatial coherence of local field potentials (LFPs) compared with that of spiking activity has been attributed to frequency-dependent propagation of signals through the cortical medium. However, in this issue of Neuron, Logothetis and colleagues show that signal propagation within cortex is largely unbiased across different frequencies, thus suggesting a more functional and interpret...
متن کاملWould near-infrared fluorescence signals propagate through large human organs for clinical studies?
We predict the capacity of near-infrared fluorescent signals to propagate through human tissue for non-invasive medical imaging. This analysis employs experimental measurements of a biologically relevant local fluorochrome embedded in tissuelike media and predicts the equivalent photon counts expected from breast, lung, brain, and muscle as a function of diameter by use of an analytical solutio...
متن کاملDirect brain-computer communication through EEG signals
Automatic systems capable of understanding different facets of human communication will be at the heart of human-computer interfaces (HCI) in the near future. An HCI which is built on the guiding principle: "think and make it happen without any physical effort" is called a brain-computer interface (BCI). Indeed, the "think" part of this principle involves the human brain, "make it happen" impli...
متن کاملHAMP Domain Conformers That Propagate Opposite Signals in Bacterial Chemoreceptors
HAMP domains are signal relay modules in >26,000 receptors of bacteria, eukaryotes, and archaea that mediate processes involved in chemotaxis, pathogenesis, and biofilm formation. We identify two HAMP conformations distinguished by a four- to two-helix packing transition at the C-termini that send opposing signals in bacterial chemoreceptors. Crystal structures of signal-locked mutants establis...
متن کاملGetting signals into the brain: visual prosthetics through thalamic microstimulation.
Common causes of blindness are diseases that affect the ocular structures, such as glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, and macular degeneration, rendering the eyes no longer sensitive to light. The visual pathway, however, as a predominantly central structure, is largely spared in these cases. It is thus widely thought that a device-based prosthetic approach to restoration of visual function will b...
