Neural cells are the smallest building blocks of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Information in neural networks and cell-substrate interactions have been heretofore studied separately. Understanding whether surface nano-topography can dir...
In this paper, we study a network of Izhikevich neurons to explore what it means for a brain to be at the edge of chaos. To do so, we first constructed the phase diagram of a single Izhikevich excitatory neuron, and identified a small region of the p...
The lack of multivariate methods for decoding the representational content of interregional neural communication has left it difficult to know what information is represented in distributed brain circuit interactions. Here we present Multi-Connection...
Dynamics of a reverberating neural net is studied by means of computer simulation. The net, which is composed of 9 leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons arranged in a square lattice, is fully connected with interneuronal communication delay proporti...
Recent studies on the theoretical performance of latency and rate code in single neurons have revealed that the ultimate accuracy is affected in a nontrivial way by aspects such as the level of spontaneous activity of presynaptic neurons, amount of n...

We propose a mathematical model of a continuous attractor network that controls social behaviors. The model is examined with bifurcation analysis and computer simulations. The results show that the model exhibits stable steady states and thresholds f...
PURPOSE: Disease staging involves the assessment of disease severity or progression and is used for treatment selection. In diabetic retinopathy, disease staging using a wide area is more desirable than that using a limited area. We investigated if d...

Current functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data modeling techniques, such as independent component analysis and sparse coding methods, can effectively reconstruct dozens or hundreds of concurrent interacting functional brain networks simult...
Information processing in the brain takes place in a network of neurons that are connected with each other by an immense number of synapses. At the same time, neurons are immersed in a common electrochemical environment, and global parameters such as...

The impact of tonic conductance upon population activity was investigated. An extra tonic transmembrane current through GABA-activated extrasynaptic GABA -receptors was found to control stationary asynchronous firing both quantitatively and qualitat...
