Anatomy and physiology instructors often face the daunting task of teaching the principles of neurophysiology as part of a laboratory course with very limited resources. Teaching neurophysiology can be a difficult undertaking as sophisticated electrophysiology and data acquisition equipment is often financially out-of-reach for two-year institutions, and for many preparations, instructors need ...

Maps obtained by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are thought to reflect the underlying spatial layout of neural activity. However, previous studies have not been able to directly compare fMRI maps to high-resolution neurophysiological maps, particularly in higher level visual areas. Here, we used a novel stereo microfocal x-ray system to localize thousands of neural recordings acro...

The structure of the human brain reflects multifarious random influences terrestrial and phylogenetic history, yet higher mental functions correlated with this unique cerebral neurophysiology are generally assumed to embody universals common intelligences independent biological substrate.

For the past months I have been asked innumerable times why I agreed to serve as Chief Editor of the Journal of Neurophysiology. It was actually an easy decision, precisely because the Journal of Neurophysiology has always represented many of the scientific and scholarly values and ideals that I hold precious. Our challenge now is to hold on to the core mission of the Journal of Neurophysiology...
