This study examines the effect of age on locomotion in C. elegans by measuring the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE). As they age, C. elegans show an increase and subsequent decline in motor control. Results show a peak LLE at five days, followed by a decline as the worms age.

An approach for analyzing migration and eventual fate of avian neural crest cells in quail-chick chimeric embryos is described. This method is a simple and straightforward technique for tracing neural crest cells during migration and differentiation that are otherwise difficult to distinguish within an unmanipulated chick embryo.

We describe a correlative microscopy method that combines high-speed 3D live-cell fluorescent light microscopy and high-resolution cryo-electron tomography. We demonstrate the capability of the correlative method by imaging dynamic, small HIV-1 particles interacting with host HeLa cells.
FAQs
These measures describe complementary features of changing brain activity. Oscillations track recurring temporal patterns, synchrony evaluates coordinated timing, connectivity examines interactions among neural signals or populations, and activity sequences follow ordered changes over time. Together, they can expose organized network behavior that a single activity measurement or static summary would not reveal.
State transitions show how neural networks move between distinct patterns of activity rather than remaining fixed. Examining when and how these changes occur can link shifting network organization to behavior, learning, or sensory processing. This perspective helps researchers study flexibility and coordination in distributed brain systems, including changes associated with disease.
Interactions provide information about how groups of neurons or larger neural populations coordinate their activity over time. Neural dynamics analysis can examine these relationships alongside temporal fluctuations and sequences, helping distinguish isolated changes from network-level organization. The resulting view supports models of how distributed brain activity contributes to coordinated responses and behavior.
The workflow can begin with electrophysiological recordings, calcium activity, or neuroimaging data. Researchers then examine temporal fluctuations, interactions among neural populations, and changes in network states using computational approaches. Depending on the dataset, the analysis may highlight oscillations, synchrony, connectivity, or activity sequences, providing complementary evidence about evolving brain function.
Researchers can use this approach when they need to relate changing neural activity to behavior or learning rather than describe activity at one fixed moment. Temporal patterns, population interactions, and network-state transitions may reveal how brain activity changes during these processes. Such results can support models connecting distributed neural organization with observed behavioral outcomes.
In sensory processing studies, the approach can characterize how neural networks change and coordinate their activity while generating responses. In disease research, the same measurements can identify altered temporal fluctuations, interactions, or network-state transitions. These findings help compare neural organization across conditions and inform models explaining how distributed brain networks produce flexible responses.
