Here is an example of what conversion to html did (viewed with
OO-writer). Selectivity (tuning) should have started a new paragraph,
just like Cortical contrast gain control:
*Cortical contrast gain control *How cortical neurons adjust their
contrast sensitivity and gain to cope with the broad range of stimulus
intensities common in the environment is a topic of long standing
theoretical and experimental interest (_Ohzawa et al.

A prominent hypothesis is that spatial contrast is measured over some
part of the receptive field, and the resultant signal is used to adjust
the contrast gain of the cell, probably by a non-linear mechanism such
as division (_Carandini and Heeger
<file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/EK/Local%20Settings/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.Hp2164/lyx_tmpbuf0/GapJunctions-2010.html#XCarandini1994>_,

_Carandini et al.

There is little doubt that synaptic interactions in the cortex play a
major role in this crucial process, but the precise nature of the role,
and whether chemical or electrical synapses are used, is still uncertain
(_Heimel et al.
<file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/EK/Local%20Settings/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.Hp2164/lyx_tmpbuf0/GapJunctions-2010.html#XHeimel2010>_,

<file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/EK/Local%20Settings/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.Hp2164/lyx_tmpbuf0/GapJunctions-2010.html#XHeimel2010>_).
*Selectivity (tuning) *Cortical cells are tuned to particular features
in the environment, such as orientation, spatial frequency or color. The
mechanisms that participate in generating this selectivity from the
non-selective thalamic input are only poorly and incompletely
understood, and inhibition from cells that are tuned to the
non-preferred features (such as cross-orientation inhibition) are
thought to be important (_Morrone et al.
<file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/EK/Local%20Settings/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.Hp2164/lyx_tmpbuf0/GapJunctions-2010.html#XMorrone1982>_,

_Bonds

<file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/EK/Local%20Settings/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.Hp2164/lyx_tmpbuf0/GapJunctions-2010.html#XBonds1989>_).
Thus the coupling among the inhibitory neurons in the cortex must affect
one of the most fundamental properties of cortical neurons. **

In converting from Lyx to MS WORD I found the path through html to work
quite well, even for documents with figures, except for the paragraph
environment, which somehow is treated as regular text: the paragraph
heading is in bold, but there is no new line before the paragraph heading.
No new line *before* the paragraph heading is indead somewhat strange.
No new line *after* tha paragraph heading is expected.
Or do you mean no vertical space (blank line)?
