Neural circuits closer to the periphery tend to be organised in a topological way, i.e. stimuli which are spatially close tend to be mapped onto neighbouring processing neurons. The goal of this study is to show how motion features (optic-flow), which have ...
Two-photon calcium imaging enables functional analysis of neuronal circuits by inferring action potential (AP) occurrence ("spike trains") from cellular fluorescence signals. It remains unclear how experimental parameters such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR ...
The cortex must maintain balanced levels of neural activity to correctly integrate inputs and to provide contextually meaningful outputs. Neuronal excitation is counterbalanced by various forms of inhibition such as spike frequency adaptation, short- and l ...
Neural firing is often subject to negative feedback by adaptation currents. These currents can induce strong correlations among the time intervals between spikes. Here we study analytically the interval correlations of a broad class of noisy neural oscilla ...
Previous research has shown that postnatal exposure to simple, synthetic sounds can affect the sound representation in the auditory cortex as reflected by changes in the tonotopic map or other relatively simple tuning properties, such as AM tuning. However ...
Brain fluctuations at rest are not random but are structured in spatial patterns of correlated activity across different brain areas. The question of how resting-state functional connectivity (FC) emerges from the brain's anatomical connections has motivat ...
Most neurons in peripheral sensory pathways initially respond vigorously when a preferred stimulus is presented, but adapt as stimulation continues. It is unclear how this phenomenon affects stimulus coding in the later stages of sensory processing. Here, ...
We present a comparative study of the performance of different basis functions for the nonparametric modeling of neural activity in response to natural stimuli. Based on naturalistic video sequences, a generative model of neural activity was created using ...
Neurons in the brain form highly complex networks through synaptic connections. Traditionally, functional connectivity between neurons has been explored using methods such as correlations, which do not contain any notion of directionality. Recently, an inf ...
