Understanding the effect of spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) is key to elucidating how neural networks change over long timescales and to design interventions aimed at modulating such networks in neurological disorders. However, progress is r...
Many animals can navigate toward a goal they cannot see based on an internal representation of that goal in the brain's spatial maps. These maps are organized around networks with stable fixed-point dynamics (attractors), anchored to landmarks, and r...

Understanding and discriminating the spatiotemporal patterns of activity generated by in vitro and in vivo neuronal networks is a fundamental task in neuroscience and neuroengineering. The state-of-the-art algorithms to describe the neuronal activity...
Spatially modulated neurons known as grid cells are thought to play an important role in spatial cognition. A new study has found that units with grid-cell-like properties can emerge within artificial neural networks trained to path integrate, and de...

In this article, we present a spiking neural network (SNN) based on both SRAM processing-in-memory (PIM) macro and on-chip unsupervised learning with Spike-Time-Dependent Plasticity (STDP). Co-design of algorithm and hardware for hardware-friendly SN...
Mean-field theory links the physiological properties of individual neurons to the emergent dynamics of neural population activity. These models provide an essential tool for studying brain function at different scales; however, for their application ...

Neural networks are applied in various scientific fields such as medicine, engineering, pharmacology, etc. Investigating operations of neural networks refers to estimating the relationship among single neurons and their contributions to the network a...
Information processing in artificial neural networks is largely dependent on the nature of neuron models. While commonly used models are designed for linear integration of synaptic inputs, accumulating experimental evidence suggests that biological n...
We present a new algorithm to efficiently simulate random models of large neural networks satisfying the property of time asynchrony. The model parameters (average firing rate, number of neurons, synaptic connection probability, and postsynaptic dura...
Hebbian theory proposes that ensembles of neurons form a basis for neural processing. It is possible to gain insight into the activity patterns of these neural ensembles through a binary analysis, regarding neurons as either active or inactive. The f...
