Deciphering the complex relationships between cellular morphology and phenotypic manifestations is crucial for understanding cell behavior, particularly in the context of neuropathological states. Despite its importance, the application of advanced i...
Neurons in cortical networks are very sparsely connected; even neurons whose axons and dendrites overlap are highly unlikely to form a synaptic connection. What is the relevance of such sparse connectivity for a network's function? Surprisingly, it h...
The widespread adoption of deep learning to model neural activity often relies on "black-box" approaches that lack an interpretable connection between neural activity and network parameters. Here, we propose using algorithm unrolling, a method for in...
When attempting to replicate the same biological spiking neuron model actions of the human brain, the spiking neuron model methodology and hardware realization design for the nervous system of the brain are crucial considerations. This work provides ...

Despite the impressive performance of biological and artificial networks, an intuitive understanding of how their local learning dynamics contribute to network-level task solutions remains a challenge to this date. Efforts to bring learning to a more...
Quantitative information about synaptic transmission is key to our understanding of neural function. Spontaneously occurring synaptic events carry fundamental information about synaptic function and plasticity. However, their stochastic nature and lo...
The backpropagation method has enabled transformative uses of neural networks. Alternatively, for energy-based models, local learning methods involving only nearby neurons offer benefits in terms of decentralized training, and allow for the possibili...
High-density probes allow electrophysiological recordings from many neurons simultaneously across entire brain circuits but fail to reveal cell type. Here, we develop a strategy to identify cell types from extracellular recordings in awake animals an...
