Phase relations of theta oscillations in a computer model of the hippocampal CA1 field: Key role of Schaffer collaterals.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
The hippocampal theta rhythm (4-12 Hz) is one of the most important electrophysiological processes in the hippocampus, it participates in cognitive hippocampal functions, such as navigation in space, novelty detection, and declarative memory. We use ...

Cumulative inhibition in neural networks.

Cognitive processing
We show how a multi-resolution network can model the development of acuity and coarse-to-fine processing in the mammalian visual cortex. The network adapts to input statistics in an unsupervised manner, and learns a coarse-to-fine representation by u...

Variable synaptic strengths controls the firing rate distribution in feedforward neural networks.

Journal of computational neuroscience
Heterogeneity of firing rate statistics is known to have severe consequences on neural coding. Recent experimental recordings in weakly electric fish indicate that the distribution-width of superficial pyramidal cell firing rates (trial- and time-ave...

Structured Pyramidal Neural Networks.

International journal of neural systems
The Pyramidal Neural Networks (PNN) are an example of a successful recently proposed model inspired by the human visual system and deep learning theory. PNNs are applied to computer vision and based on the concept of receptive fields. This paper prop...

Coherent and intermittent ensemble oscillations emerge from networks of irregular spiking neurons.

Journal of neurophysiology
Local field potential (LFP) recordings from spatially distant cortical circuits reveal episodes of coherent gamma oscillations that are intermittent, and of variable peak frequency and duration. Concurrently, single neuron spiking remains largely irr...

Long-range recruitment of Martinotti cells causes surround suppression and promotes saliency in an attractor network model.

Frontiers in neural circuits
Although the importance of long-range connections for cortical information processing has been acknowledged for a long time, most studies focused on the long-range interactions between excitatory cortical neurons. Inhibitory interneurons play an impo...

Networks that learn the precise timing of event sequences.

Journal of computational neuroscience
Neuronal circuits can learn and replay firing patterns evoked by sequences of sensory stimuli. After training, a brief cue can trigger a spatiotemporal pattern of neural activity similar to that evoked by a learned stimulus sequence. Network models s...

Impaired dendritic inhibition leads to epileptic activity in a computer model of CA3.

Hippocampus
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a common type of epilepsy with hippocampus as the usual site of origin. The CA3 subfield of hippocampus is reported to have a low epileptic threshold and hence initiates the disorder in patients with TLE. This study co...

The structural aspects of neural dynamics and information flow.

Frontiers in bioscience (Landmark edition)
BACKGROUND: Neurons have specialized structures that facilitate information transfer using electrical and chemical signals. Within the perspective of neural computation, the neuronal structure is an important prerequisite for the versatile computatio...

Characterization of multiscale logic operations in the neural circuits.

Frontiers in bioscience (Landmark edition)
: Ever since the seminal work by McCulloch and Pitts, the theory of neural computation and its philosophical foundation known as 'computationalism' have been central to brain-inspired artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The present study descr...
