Spontaneous synaptic activity is a hallmark of biological neural networks. A thorough description of these synaptic signals is essential for understanding neurotransmitter release and the generation of a postsynaptic response. However, the complexity...

Studies of structural connectivity at the synaptic level show that in synaptic connections of the cerebral cortex, the excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) in most synapses exhibits sub-mV values, while a small number of synapses exhibit large EP...
The dynamics of cerebellar neuronal networks is controlled by the underlying building blocks of neurons and synapses between them. For which, the computation of Purkinje cells (PCs), the only output cells of the cerebellar cortex, is implemented thro...
Neuromorphic computing inspired by the neural systems in human brain will overcome the issue of independent information processing and storage. An artificial synaptic device as a basic unit of a neuromorphic computing system can perform signal proces...
Our previous work showed that lateral fluid percussion injury to the sensorimotor cortex (SMC) of anesthetized rats increased neuronal synaptic hyperexcitability in layer 5 (L5) neurons in ex vivo brain slices 10 days postinjury. Furthermore, endocan...

Complex dendrites in general present formidable challenges to understanding neuronal information processing. To circumvent the difficulty, a prevalent viewpoint simplifies the neuronal morphology as a point representing the soma, and the excitatory a...
Living organisms have a long evolutionary history that has provided them with functions and structures that enable them to survive in their environment. The goal of biomimetic technology is to emulate these traits of living things. Research in bioins...

Metaplasticity, a higher order of synaptic plasticity, as well as a key issue in neuroscience, is realized with artificial synapses based on a WO3 thin film, and the activity-dependent metaplastic responses of the artificial synapses, such as spike-t...
Sensory information is believed to be encoded in neuronal spikes using two different neural codes, the rate code (spike firing rate) and the temporal code (precisely-timed spikes). Since the sensory cortex has a highly hierarchical feedforward struct...
