How Should We Think About Bursts?

Population bursts of action potentials are the most prominent feature of activity recorded from mam-malian neuronal networks grown on MEAs. In the intact brain or spinal cord, they are considered variously as motor patterns, sensory gates, sleep spindles, UP-states, developmental signals, epileptiform activity, or memories. I prefer to remain agnostic about what bursts " mean " in vitro, and to...

I argue that this epistemic view of states appears to solve foundational problems of quantum mechanics only at the price of being essentially incomplete.

Increased parasympathetic cardiac modulation in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD: how should we interpret it?

While the clinical and functional effects of exacerbation are known, no studies investigated CAM during exacerbation and whether there is a relationship between CAM and functional capacity and dyspnea. METHODS Thirty-two patients ...

Carcinoembryonic antigen monitoring to detect recurrence of colorectal cancer: how should we interpret the test results?

study confirms the conclusion of Braga et al. (2 ) that the individuality in Hb A1c is limiting the use of outcome-based or populationbased reference limits for test interpretation and will therefore also limit the use of a fixed cutoff value of 48 mmol/mol (6.5% DCCT) for the diagnosis of diabetes for all individuals/patients. The reason for this is that a small change in Hb A1c may indicate a...
