The origin of extracellular fields and currents — EEG, ECoG, LFP and spikes

TL;DR: High-density recordings of field activity in animals and subdural grid recordings in humans can provide insight into the cooperative behaviour of neurons, their average synaptic input and their spiking output, and can increase the understanding of how these processes contribute to the extracellular signal.

Neuronal ensemble control of prosthetic devices by a human with tetraplegia

TL;DR: Initial results for a tetraplegic human using a pilot NMP suggest that NMPs based upon intracortical neuronal ensemble spiking activity could provide a valuable new neurotechnology to restore independence for humans with paralysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of phagocytosis in macrophages

TL;DR: Macrophages also play an important role in the recognition and clearance of apoptotic cells; a notable feature of this process is the absence of an inflammatory response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of Endocytosis

TL;DR: What is known about mammalian endocytic mechanisms is reviewed, with focus on the cellular proteins that control these events, and the functional relevance of distinctendocytic pathways is discussed.

In vivo two-photon calcium imaging of neuronal networks

TL;DR: In vivo two-photon calcium imaging recordings indicated that whisker deflection-evoked Ca2+ transients occur in a subset of layer 2/3 neurons of the barrel cortex, demonstrating the suitability of this technique for real-time analyses of intact neuronal circuits with the resolution of individual cells.
