We study the full angular distribution of semileptonic rare charm baryon decays in which secondary undergoes weak decay with sizable polarization parameter, $\Xi_c^+\to\Sigma^+\,(\to p\pi^0)\ell^+\ell^-$, $\Xi_c^0\to\Lambda^0\,(\to p \pi^-)\ell^+\ell^-$ and $\Omega_c^0\to\Xi^0\,(\to \Lambda^{0} \pi^0)\ell^+\ell^-$. Such self-analyzing chains allow for seven additional observables compared to th...

Pyramidal cells in the electrosensory lateral line lobe (ELL) of weakly electric fish have been observedto produce high-frequency burst discharge with constant depolarizing current (Turner et al., 1994). We present a two-compartment model of an ELL pyramidal cell that produces burst discharges similar to those seen in experiments.The burst mechanism involves a slowly changing intera...

The rich temporal structure of neural spike trains provides multiple dimensions to code dynamic stimuli. Popular examples are spike trains from sensory cells where bursts and isolated spikes can serve distinct coding roles. In contrast to analyses of neural coding, the cellular mechanics of burst mechanisms are typically elucidated from the neural response to static input. Bridging the mechanic...

Although it has been suggested that the cerebellum functions to predict the sensory consequences of motor commands, how such predictions are implemented in cerebellar circuitry remains largely unknown. A detailed and relatively complete account of predictive mechanisms has emerged from studies of cerebellum-like sensory structures in fish, suggesting that comparisons of the cerebellum and cereb...
