Body Patches in Inferior Temporal Cortex Encode Categories with Different Temporal Dynamics.

Journal of cognitive neuroscience
An unresolved question in cognitive neuroscience is how representations of object categories at different levels (basic and superordinate) develop during the course of the neural response within an area. To address this, we decoded categories of diff...

Spatiotemporal discrimination in attractor networks with short-term synaptic plasticity.

Journal of computational neuroscience
We demonstrate that a randomly connected attractor network with dynamic synapses can discriminate between similar sequences containing multiple stimuli suggesting such networks provide a general basis for neural computations in the brain. The network...

Neural network model of an amphibian ventilatory central pattern generator.

Journal of computational neuroscience
The neuronal multiunit model presented here is a formal model of the central pattern generator (CPG) of the amphibian ventilatory neural network, inspired by experimental data from Pelophylax ridibundus. The kernel of the CPG consists of three pacema...

Electrical stimulation in a spiking neural network model of monkey superior colliculus.

Progress in brain research
The superior colliculus (SC) generates saccades by recruiting a population of cells in its topographically organized motor map. Supra-threshold electrical stimulation in the SC produces a normometric saccade with little effect of the stimulation para...

Implications of asymmetric neural activity patterns in the basal ganglia outflow in the integrative neural network model for cervical dystonia.

Progress in brain research
Cervical dystonia (CD) is characterized by abnormal twisting and turning of the head with associated head oscillations. It is the most common form of dystonia, which is a third most common movement disorder. Despite frequent occurrence there is pauci...

Hidden Bursting Firings and Bifurcation Mechanisms in Memristive Neuron Model With Threshold Electromagnetic Induction.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
Memristors can be employed to mimic biological neural synapses or to describe electromagnetic induction effects. To exhibit the threshold effect of electromagnetic induction, this paper presents a threshold flux-controlled memristor and examines its ...

PCNN Mechanism and its Parameter Settings.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
The pulse-coupled neural network (PCNN) model is a third-generation artificial neural network without training that uses the synchronous pulse bursts of neurons to process digital images, but the lack of in-depth theoretical research limits its exten...

PatcherBot: a single-cell electrophysiology robot for adherent cells and brain slices.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Intracellular patch-clamp electrophysiology, one of the most ubiquitous, high-fidelity techniques in biophysics, remains laborious and low-throughput. While previous efforts have succeeded at automating some steps of the technique, here we...

Autonomous patch-clamp robot for functional characterization of neurons in vivo: development and application to mouse visual cortex.

Journal of neurophysiology
Patch clamping is the gold standard measurement technique for cell-type characterization in vivo, but it has low throughput, is difficult to scale, and requires highly skilled operation. We developed an autonomous robot that can acquire multiple cons...

A supervised machine learning approach to characterize spinal network function.

Journal of neurophysiology
Spontaneous activity is a common feature of immature neuronal networks throughout the central nervous system and plays an important role in network development and consolidation. In postnatal rodents, spontaneous activity in the spinal cord exhibits ...
