Mapping the function of neuronal ion channels in model and experiment

Rajnish Ranjan, Alexander Kevin Seeholzer, Tim Vogels, William Francis Podlaski

Ion channel models are the building blocks of computational neuron models. Their biological fidelity is therefore crucial for the interpretation of simulations. However, the number of published models, and the lack of standardization, make the comparison o ...

Uniform random sparse network architectures are ubiquitous in computational neuroscience, but the implicit hypothesis that they are a good representation of real neuronal networks has been met with skepticism. Here we used two experimental data sets, a stu ...

Populations of neurons in motor cortex engage in complex transient dynamics of large amplitude during the execution of limb movements. Traditional network models with stochastically assigned synapses cannot reproduce this behavior. Here we introduce a clas ...

Inhibitory synaptic plasticity: spike timing-dependence and putative network function

Friedemann Zenke, Tim Vogels

While the plasticity of excitatory synaptic connections in the brain has been widely studied, the plasticity of inhibitory connections is much less understood. Here, we present recent experimental and theoretical findings concerning the rules of spike timi ...

Non-normal amplification in random balanced neuronal networks

Wulfram Gerstner, Tim Vogels, Guillaume Hennequin

In dynamical models of cortical networks, the recurrent connectivity can amplify the input given to the network in two distinct ways. One is induced by the presence of near-critical eigenvalues in the connectivity matrix W, producing large but slow activit ...

Inhibitory Plasticity Balances Excitation and Inhibition in Sensory Pathways and Memory Networks

Wulfram Gerstner, Friedemann Zenke, Claudia Clopath, Tim Vogels

Cortical neurons receive balanced excitatory and inhibitory synaptic currents. Such a balance could be established and maintained in an experience-dependent manner by synaptic plasticity at inhibitory synapses. We show that this mechanism provides an expla ...
