Article Synopsis
- Sensory systems use precise spike timing codes for information encoding, with emerging evidence of this in various motor behaviors like breathing and flight.
- Researchers have developed a new method to assess spike timing precision in motor circuits, allowing for the measurement of very small time scales amidst noise in signals.
- In studying the agile hawk moth, they found that individual muscle types have different levels of timing precision, with all muscles showing precision at sub-millisecond to millisecond scales, highlighting the method's broad applicability to different animal systems.
