Endocytosis is a vital cellular process maintaining the cell surface, modulating signal transduction and facilitating nutrient acquisition. In metazoa, multiple endocytic modes are recognized, but for many unicellular organisms the process is likely...

Individual differences in behavioural inhibition explain free riding in public good games when punishment is expected but not implemented (2013)
Journal Article

Background: The literature on social dilemmas and punishment focuses on the behaviour of the punisher. However, to fully explain the effect of punishment on cooperation, it is important to understand the psychological mechanisms influencing the behav...

Cortical circuits are thought to multiplex firing rate codes with temporal codes that rely on oscillatory network activity, but the circuit mechanisms that combine these coding schemes are unclear. We establish with optogenetic activation of layer II... Read More about Feedback inhibition enables theta-nested gamma oscillations and grid firing fields.
