Action Potential

Of course I forgot to put up last week's papers during the maelstrom that is SfN -- sorry. Here they are. Published online on 15 October:

Hahn et al., Phase-locking of hippocampal interneurons' membrane potential to neocortical up-down states
Hansen et al., Memory modulates color appearance
Garriga-Canut et al., 2-Deoxy-D-glucose reduces epilepsy progression by NRSF-CtBP–dependent metabolic regulation of chromatin structure
Rust et al., How MT cells analyze the motion of visual patterns
Veruki et al., Activation of a presynaptic glutamate transporter regulates synaptic transmission through electrical signaling

And here is this week's set of papers, published online on 22 October:

Chen et al., Optimal decoding of correlated neural population responses in the primate visual cortex
Ma et al., Bayesian inference with probabilistic population codes
Özdinler & Macklis, IGF-I specifically enhances axon outgrowth of corticospinal motor neurons

Enjoy, and feel free to comment if any of the papers inspire you to. Next week and through the end of the year I'll follow a suggestion from our executive editor Linda Miller and give each new paper its own blog entry, in an attempt to make the blog more attractive as a feedback forum.

I still owe y'all a few notes on the last two days of SfN. Yes, I did venture into the faraway QQ section! More about that, and other impressions -- tomorrow...
