Understanding the dynamics of recurrent neural networks is crucial for explaining how the
brain processes information. In the neocortex, a range of different plasticity mechanisms are …

Perception is an active inferential process in which prior knowledge is combined with sensory
input, the result of which determines the contents of awareness. Accordingly, previous …

In contrast to the amazing exponential growth in knowledge related to long non-coding RNAs
(lncRNAs) involved in cell homeostasis or dysregulated pathological states, little is known …

In the present study biobased and soft thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), obtained by
polymerization from fatty acids, was used to produce TPU/ZnO nanocomposite foams by thermally …

Parallel multisite recordings in the visual cortex of trained monkeys revealed that the responses
of spatially distributed neurons to natural scenes are ordered in sequences. The rank …

This paper builds on the context and recent progress on the control, reproducibility, and
limitations of using graphene and graphene-related materials (GRMs) in biomedical applications…

We investigate how different forms of plasticity shape the dynamics and computational
properties of simple recurrent spiking neural networks. In particular, we study the effect of …

Even in the absence of sensory stimulation the brain is spontaneously active. This background
“noise” seems to be the dominant cause of the notoriously high trial-to-trial variability of …

Synchronization has been implicated in neuronal communication, but causal evidence remains
indirect. We use optogenetics to generate depolarizing currents in pyramidal neurons of …

Spike count correlations (SCCs) are ubiquitous in sensory cortices, are characterized by
rich structure, and arise from structured internal dynamics. However, most theories of visual …
