    A Aldo Faisal
    Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, CB2 3EJ Cambridge, United Kingdom
    Curr Biol 15:1143-9. 2005
    ..Fluctuations have implications for epilepsy and neuropathic pain because changes in channel kinetics or axonal properties can change the rate at which channel noise generates spontaneous activity...
  2. ncbi Stochastic simulations on the reliability of action potential propagation in thin axons
    A Aldo Faisal
    Department of Zoology, Cambridge University, Cambridge, United Kingdom
    PLoS Comput Biol 3:e79. 2007
    ..In contrast we find that thicker axons above 0.5 microm diameter are reliable...

    A Aldo Faisal
    Computational and Biological Learning Lab, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, CB2 1PZ, UK
    Nat Rev Neurosci 9:292-303. 2008
    ..We highlight how noise affects neuronal networks and the principles the nervous system applies to counter detrimental effects of noise, and briefly discuss noise's potential benefits...

    A Aldo Faisal
    Dept of Engineering, Univ of Cambridge, Trumpington St, CB2 1PZ Cambridge, UK
    J Neurophysiol 101:1901-12. 2009
    ..Thus we show that subjects in a natural task are quantitatively aware of how sensory and motor variability depend on time and act so as to minimize overall task variability...
