Obtaining predictive models of a neural system is notoriously challenging. Detailed models suffer from excess model complexity and are difficult to fit efficiently. Simplified models must negotiate a tradeoff between tractability, predictive power, a...
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are biologically more plausible and computationally more powerful than artificial neural networks due to their intrinsic temporal dynamics. However, vanilla spiking neurons struggle to simultaneously encode spatiotempor...
The Neuron morphology classification is a critical task in neuroscience research, as the morphological features of neurons are closely linked to the functional characteristics of neural circuits. However, traditional classification methods often stru...
Brain networks exhibit diverse topological structures to adapt and support brain functions. The changes in neuronal network architecture can lead to alterations in neuronal spiking activity, yet how individual neuronal behavior reflects network struc...
Hippocampal place cells are known for their spatially selective firing and are believed to encode an animal's location while forming part of a cognitive map of space. These cells exhibit marked tuning curves and rate changes when an animal's environm...
Recognition of conspecific individuals in mammals is an important skill, thought to be mediated by a distributed array of neural networks, including those processing olfactory cues. Recent data from our groups have shown that social memory can be sup...
We propose a mathematical framework to systematically explore the propagation properties of a class of continuous in time nonlinear neural network models comprising a hierarchy of processing areas, mutually connected according to the principles of pr...
Recurrent neural circuits often face inherent complexities in learning and generating their desired outputs, especially when they initially exhibit chaotic spontaneous activity. While the celebrated FORCE learning rule can train chaotic recurrent net...
Spiking neural networks drawing inspiration from biological constraints of the brain promise an energy-efficient paradigm for artificial intelligence. However, challenges exist in identifying guiding principles to train these networks in a robust fas...
