Mining the Virgin Land of Neurotoxicology: A Novel Paradigm of Neurotoxic Peptides Action on Glycosylated Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels by Zhirui Liu, Jie Tao, Pin Ye, Yonghua Ji

“…Even though the structure-function studies were the most pursued spots, the posttranslation modification processes, such as glycosylation, phosphorylation, and alternative splicing associating with channel functions captured less eyesights. The accumulative research suggested an interaction between the sialic acids chains and ion-permeable pores, giving rise to subtle but significant impacts on channel gating. …”

Syntalos: a software for precise synchronization of simultaneous multi-modal data acquisition and closed-loop interventions by Matthias Klumpp, Lee Embray, Filippo Heimburg, Ana Luiza Alves Dias, Justus Simon, Alexander Groh, Andreas Draguhn, Martin Both

“…We present an open-source, Linux-based integrated software solution, called ‘Syntalos’, for simultaneous acquisition and synchronization of data from an arbitrary number of sources, including multi-channel electrophysiological recordings and different live imaging devices, as well as closed-loop, real-time interventions with different actuators. Precisely matching timestamps for all inputs are ensured by continuous statistical analysis and correction of individual devices’ timestamps. …”
