While circadian rhythms were synchronized by white light – dark cycles (400 0 lux), red light - dark cycles were unable to synchronize activity (Figure S1), suggesting this is a specific effect of white light and is not due to artifactual effects of the stimulus, such as changes in the temperature of the cultures.
We conclude that the synapses between the GF and GCIs, which are believed to synchronize activity of right and left GFs [20], are homotypic gap junctions with both pre- and postsynaptic hemichannels composed of ShakB(N+16).
However, strikingly different behavior was observed in the 8% of terminals sensitive to contrast but of no clear polarity: spikes were distributed relatively uniformly as a function of phase-lag, indicating that shared photoreceptor input was not sufficient to synchronize activity within this population.
Our aim was to artificially synchronize activity in the STN area at different frequencies and to follow changes in its propagation characteristics, as indicated by the amplitude of the cortical evoked potentials (cEPs).
Our work focused on this neglected topic by using multi-neuron patch clamp technique to record synchronized activities between individual neurons participating in electrical networks of the rat prefrontal cortex (PFC) under calcium-free conditions.
2) Twenty four hours after an injection, the vitreous extracts from an injected eye completely blocked synchronized firing of a pair of neighboring RGCs of another early postnatal retina (P7), suggesting the intraocular concentration was sufficient to block synchronized activities throughout the treatment (Fig. S2F).
Our primary challenge has been that of combining program implementation in a "real world setting" with rigorous evaluation through a cluster randomized trial, which has raised issues of timing to synchronize implementation activities with evaluation activities, as well as issues of competing program priorities at health centres.
HEGCs thus have many paths along which to receive synchronized activity from normotopic granule cells and to transmit their own hyperactivity to both normotopic granule cells and CA3 pyramidal cells.
The study provides the first evidence that turtles use vocalizations to synchronize group activities and rear their young, the group says.
In order to maintain the benefits of group living (such as reduced predation risk, better foraging efficiency and the exchange of social information), mobile animals often have to synchronize their activities, forage collectively and move together by coordinating both the timing and direction of their movement decisions.
Homologous and heterologous coupling could serve to synchronize the activities of neighboring cells that serve the same functions.
