Channeling the Central Dogma

Neuron. 2014 May 21;82(4):725-7. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2014.05.008.

Abstract

How do neurons and networks achieve their characteristic electrical activity, regulate this activity homeostatically, and yet show population variability in expression? In this issue of Neuron, O'Leary et al. (2014) address some of these thorny questions in this theoretical analysis that starts with the Central Dogma.
