Essential nonlinearities in hearing by Eguíluz, V M, Ospeck, M, Choe, Y, Hudspeth, A J, Magnasco, M O

“…Our hearing organ, the cochlea, evidently poises itself at a Hopf bifurcation to maximize tuning and amplification. We show that in this condition several…”

Instantaneous frequency decomposition : An application to spectrally sparse sounds with fast frequency modulations by GARDNER, T. J, MAGNASCO, M. O

“…Classical time-frequency analysis is based on the amplitude responses of bandpass filters, discarding phase information. Instantaneous frequency analysis, in…”

Evidence of a Hopf Bifurcation in Frog Hair Cells by Ospeck, M., Eguíluz, V.M., Magnasco, M.O.

“…The membrane potential of hair cells in the low-frequency hearing organ of the bullfrog, the amphibian papilla, sinusoidally oscillates at small amplitude in…”

A kinetic proofreading mechanism for disentanglement of DNA by topoisomerases by Marko, John F, Yan, Jie, Magnasco, Marcelo O

“…Cells must remove all entanglements between their replicated chromosomal DNAs to segregate them during cell division. Entanglement removal is done by…”

On a Common Circle: Natural Scenes and Gestalt Rules by Sigman, Mariano, Cecchi, Guillermo A., Gilbert, Charles D., Magnasco, Marcelo O.

“…To understand how the human visual system analyzes images, it is essential to know the structure of the visual environment. In particular, natural images…”

A Model for Amplification of Hair-Bundle Motion by Cyclical Binding of Ca2+to Mechanoelectrical-Transduction Channels by Choe, Yong, Magnasco, Marcelo O., Hudspeth, A. J.

“…Amplification of auditory stimuli by hair cells augments the sensitivity of the vertebrate inner ear. Cell-body contractions of outer hair cells are thought to…”

Toward a Song Code: Evidence for a Syllabic Representation in the Canary Brain by Ribeiro, Sidarta, Cecchi, Guillermo A., Magnasco, Marcelo O., Mello, Claudio V.

“…We show that presentation of individual canary song syllables results in distinct expression patterns of the immediate-early gene ZENK in the caudomedial…”

Noise in Neurons Is Message Dependent by Cecchi, Guillermo A., Sigman, Mariano, Alonso, Jose-Manuel, Martinez, Luis, Chialvo, Dante R., Magnasco, Marcelo O.

“…Neuronal responses are conspicuously variable. We focus on one particular aspect of that variability: the precision of action potential timing. We show that…”

Unsupervised learning and adaptation in a model of adult neurogenesis by Cecchi, G A, Petreanu, L T, Alvarez-Buylla, A, Magnasco, M O

“…Adult neurogenesis has long been documented in the vertebrate brain and recently even in humans. Although it has been conjectured for many years that its…”

Loss of Consciousness Is Associated with Stabilization of Cortical Activity by Solovey, Guillermo, Alonso, Leandro M, Yanagawa, Toru, Fujii, Naotaka, Magnasco, Marcelo O, Cecchi, Guillermo A, Proekt, Alex

“…What aspects of neuronal activity distinguish the conscious from the unconscious brain? This has been a subject of intense interest and debate since the early…”

Kinetic proofreading can explain the supression of supercoiling of circular DNA molecules by type-II topoisomerases by Yan, J, Magnasco, M O, Marko, J F

“…The enzymes that pass DNA through DNA so as to remove entanglements, adenosine-triphosphate-hydrolyzing type-II topoisomerases, are able to suppress the…”
