Systems neuroscience: Timing is everything
Phillip Larimer1 & Ben W. Strowbridge1
Abstract
Interactions among neurons in brain circuits underlie sensory perception and information storage. Work in locusts shows how the timing of different neuronal signals is synchronized to ensure effective communication.
Most biological systems can adapt to different conditions and environments. The nervous system has elaborated on this ability and developed mechanisms that use prior experience to predict future events.
