Advancements in electrode design have resulted in micro-electrode arrays with hundreds of channels for single cell recordings. In the resulting electrophysiological recordings, each implanted electrode can record spike activity (SA) of one or more ne...
The visual cortex of the mouse brain can be divided into ten or more areas that each contain complete or partial retinotopic maps of the contralateral visual field. It is generally assumed that these areas represent discrete processing regions. In co...

The capability for environmental sound recognition (ESR) can determine the fitness of individuals in a way to avoid dangers or pursue opportunities when critical sound events occur. It still remains mysterious about the fundamental principles of biol...
Digital reconstruction of neuronal structures is very important to neuroscience research. Many existing reconstruction algorithms require a set of good seed points. 3D neuron critical points, including terminations, branch points and cross-over point...

A central question in developmental neurobiology is how neural stem and progenitor cells form the brain. To answer this question, one needs to label, manipulate, and follow single cells in the brain tissue with high resolution over time. This task is...
Performance of supercomputers has been steadily and exponentially increasing for the past 20 years, and is expected to increase further. This unprecedented computational power enables us to build and simulate large-scale neural network models compose...
