A deep learning framework for automated and generalized synaptic event analysis.

eLife
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...

Tipping prediction of a class of large-scale radial-ring neural networks.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
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...

Signatures of Bayesian inference emerge from energy-efficient synapses.

eLife
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...

A novel machine learning-based approach for the detection and analysis of spontaneous synaptic currents.

PloS one
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...

Long-Tailed Characteristic of Spiking Pattern Alternation Induced by Log-Normal Excitatory Synaptic Distribution.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
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...

Partial information decomposition reveals that synergistic neural integration is greater downstream of recurrent information flow in organotypic cortical cultures.

PLoS computational biology
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...

Controllable high-performance memristors based on 2D FeGeTeoxide for biological synapse imitation.

Nanotechnology
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...

Modulation of the dynamics of cerebellar Purkinje cells through the interaction of excitatory and inhibitory feedforward pathways.

PLoS computational biology
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...

Biological batch normalisation: How intrinsic plasticity improves learning in deep neural networks.

PloS one
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...

A Mean-Field Description of Bursting Dynamics in Spiking Neural Networks with Short-Term Adaptation.

Neural computation
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...
