Electrical signaling beyond neurons (2024)
Journal Article

Neural action potentials (APs) are difficult to interpret as signal encoders and/or computational primitives. Their relationships with stimuli and behaviors are obscured by the staggering complexity of nervous systems themselves. We can reduce this c... Read More about Electrical signaling beyond neurons.

Computation implemented by the interaction of chemical reaction, clustering, and de-clustering of molecules (2024)
Journal Article

A chemical reaction and its reaction environment are intrinsically linked, especially within the confines of narrow cellular spaces. Traditional models of chemical reactions often use differential equations with concentration as the primary variable,...

Cross-condition risk and protective factors for psychosocial distress in parents and carers of children and young people with appearance-affecting conditions and injuries (2024)
Journal Article

Alongside typical parenting challenges, initial condition-specific research suggests that parents of children with different visible differences may experience similar psychosocial difficulties. Despite this, large-scale cross-condition research to i...
