Many neural computations emerge from self-sustained patterns of activity in recurrent neural circuits, which rely on balanced excitation and inhibition. Neuromorphic electronic circuits represent a promising approach for implementing the brain's comp...
Recent developments in artificial neural networks have drawn inspiration from biological neural networks, leveraging the concept of the artificial neuron to model the learning abilities of biological nerve cells. However, while neuroscience has provi...
Cortical circuits feature both excitatory and inhibitory cells that underlie the encoding of dynamic sensory stimuli, e.g., speech, music, odors, and natural scenes. Although previous studies have shown that inhibition plays an important role in shap...
BACKGROUND: Lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot is a new technology to improve the lower limb motor function of stroke patients. Recovery of motor function after stroke is closely related to neuroplasticity in the motor cortex and associated ...
Astrocytes regulate synaptic activity across large brain territories via their complex, interconnected morphology. Emerging evidence supports the involvement of astrocytes in shaping relapse to opioid use through morphological rearrangements in the n...
