The study of brain activity spans diverse scales and levels of description and requires the development of computational models alongside experimental investigations to explore integrations across scales. The high dimensionality of spiking networks p...
Attractor neural networks consider that neural information is stored as stationary states of a dynamical system formed by a large number of interconnected neurons. The attractor property empowers a neural system to encode information robustly, but it...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects nearly 3% of children and has a strong genetic component. While hundreds of ASD risk genes have been identified through sequencing studies, the genetic heterogeneity of ASD ...
Neural network complexity allows for diverse neuronal population dynamics and realizes higherorder brain functions such as cognition and memory. Complexity is enhanced through chemical synapses with exponentially decaying conductance and greater vari...
Training spiking neural networks to approximate universal functions is essential for studying information processing in the brain and for neuromorphic computing. Yet the binary nature of spikes poses a challenge for direct gradient-based training. Su...
Animal nervous systems can detect changes in their environments within hundredths of a second. They do so by discerning abrupt shifts in sensory neural activity. Many neuroscience studies have employed change-point detection (CPD) algorithms to estim...
From biological and artificial network perspectives, researchers have started acknowledging astrocytes as computational units mediating neural processes. Here, we propose a novel biologically inspired neuron-astrocyte network model for image recognit...
The Wilson-Cowan model for metapopulation, a neural mass network model, treats different subcortical regions of the brain as connected nodes, with connections representing various types of structural, functional, or effective neuronal connectivity be...
Recent advances in theoretical biology suggest that key definitions of basal cognition and sentient behavior may arise as emergent properties of in vitro cell cultures and neuronal networks. Such neuronal networks reorganize activity to demonstrate s...
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have attracted significant interest in the development of brain-inspired computing systems due to their energy efficiency and similarities to biological information processing. In contrast to continuous-valued artificia...
