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...

Understanding the emergence and evolution of collective dynamics in large-scale neural networks remains a complex challenge. This paper seeks to address this gap by applying dynamical systems theory, with a particular focus on tipping mechanisms. Fir...
Biological synaptic transmission is unreliable, and this unreliability likely degrades neural circuit performance. While there are biophysical mechanisms that can increase reliability, for instance by increasing vesicle release probability, these mec...
Spontaneous synaptic activity is a hallmark of biological neural networks. A thorough description of these synaptic signals is essential for understanding neurotransmitter release and the generation of a postsynaptic response. However, the complexity...

Studies of structural connectivity at the synaptic level show that in synaptic connections of the cerebral cortex, the excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) in most synapses exhibits sub-mV values, while a small number of synapses exhibit large EP...
The directionality of network information flow dictates how networks process information. A central component of information processing in both biological and artificial neural networks is their ability to perform synergistic integration-a type of co...
Memristors are an important component of the next-generation artificial neural network, high computing systems, etc. In the past, two-dimensional materials based memristors have achieved a high performance and low power consumption, though one at the...
The dynamics of cerebellar neuronal networks is controlled by the underlying building blocks of neurons and synapses between them. For which, the computation of Purkinje cells (PCs), the only output cells of the cerebellar cortex, is implemented thro...
In this work, we present a local intrinsic rule that we developed, dubbed IP, inspired by the Infomax rule. Like Infomax, this rule works by controlling the gain and bias of a neuron to regulate its rate of fire. We discuss the biological plausibilit...
Bursting plays an important role in neural communication. At the population level, macroscopic bursting has been identified in populations of neurons that do not express intrinsic bursting mechanisms. For the analysis of phase transitions between bur...
