Decoding the physics of observed actions in the human brain by Moritz F Wurm, Doruk Yiğit Erigüç

“…These results demonstrate that parietal cortex and LOTC are tuned to physical action features, such as how body parts move in space relative to each other and how body parts interact with objects to induce a change (e.g. in position or shape/configuration). The high level of abstraction revealed by cross-decoding suggests a general neural code supporting mechanical reasoning about how entities interact with, and have effects on, each other.…”

Quantitative, Dynamic Detection of Neuronal Na+ Transients Using Multi-photon Excitation and Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) in Acute Mouse Brain Slices by Sara Eitelmann, Karl Kafitz, Christine Rose, Jan Meyer

“…This principle is advantageous in experiments where fluorophore concentrations are expected to change, e.g., due to changes in cell volume. FLIM, however, requires collecting a substantial number of photons to accurately fit distribution plots, which constrains its ability for dynamic imaging. …”
