DoGNet: A deep architecture for synapse detection in multiplexed fluorescence images.

PLoS computational biology
Neuronal synapses transmit electrochemical signals between cells through the coordinated action of presynaptic vesicles, ion channels, scaffolding and adapter proteins, and membrane receptors. In situ structural characterization of numerous synaptic ...

Memristive Imitation of Synaptic Transmission and Plasticity.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
In this paper, a memristive artificial neural circuit imitating the excitatory chemical synaptic transmission of biological synapse is designed. The proposed memristor-based neural circuit exhibits synaptic plasticity, one of the important neurochemi...

Working Memory and Decision-Making in a Frontoparietal Circuit Model.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience
Working memory (WM) and decision-making (DM) are fundamental cognitive functions involving a distributed interacting network of brain areas, with the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) at the core. However, the shared and dis...

Synaptic convergence regulates synchronization-dependent spike transfer in feedforward neural networks.

Journal of computational neuroscience
Correlated neural activities such as synchronizations can significantly alter the characteristics of spike transfer between neural layers. However, it is not clear how this synchronization-dependent spike transfer can be affected by the structure of ...

Global and local excitation and inhibition shape the dynamics of the cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical pathway.

Scientific reports
The cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) pathway is a brain circuit that controls movement execution, habit formation and reward. Hyperactivity in the CSTC pathway is involved in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), a neuropsychiatric disorder ch...

Synaptic damage underlies EEG abnormalities in postanoxic encephalopathy: A computational study.

Clinical neurophysiology : official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology
OBJECTIVE: In postanoxic coma, EEG patterns indicate the severity of encephalopathy and typically evolve in time. We aim to improve the understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these EEG abnormalities.

Neuronify: An Educational Simulator for Neural Circuits.

eNeuro
Educational software (apps) can improve science education by providing an interactive way of learning about complicated topics that are hard to explain with text and static illustrations. However, few educational apps are available for simulation of ...

Mimicking Neurotransmitter Release in Chemical Synapses via Hysteresis Engineering in MoS Transistors.

ACS nano
Neurotransmitter release in chemical synapses is fundamental to diverse brain functions such as motor action, learning, cognition, emotion, perception, and consciousness. Moreover, improper functioning or abnormal release of neurotransmitter is assoc...

Neuromorphic meets neuromechanics, part II: the role of fusimotor drive.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: We studied the fundamentals of muscle afferentation by building a Neuro-mechano-morphic system actuating a cadaveric finger. This system is a faithful implementation of the stretch reflex circuitry. It allowed the systematic exploration of...

Neuromorphic meets neuromechanics, part I: the methodology and implementation.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: One goal of neuromorphic engineering is to create 'realistic' robotic systems that interact with the physical world by adopting neuromechanical principles from biology. Critical to this is the methodology to implement the spinal circuitry ...
