This valuable study presents a plastic recurrent spiking network model that spontaneously generates repeating neuronal sequences under unstructured inputs. The authors provide solid evidence that, ...

Based on the DA mediation, some sophisticated neuronal functions, including integration-and-firing, synaptic facilitation-induced spike broadening and DA-tunable spiking number and width, were ...

New research provides evidence that electric fields shared among neurons via 'ephaptic coupling' provide the coordination necessary to assemble the multi-region neural ensembles ('engrams') that ...

Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of memories for over a century. Past studies suggest that memories are stored by ...

The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations. A key objective of neuroscience research has been to delineate the ...

Understanding how the brain encodes behavior is essential to tackling neurodegenerative disorders, physical disabilities, and other life-altering conditions. But that’s hardly an easy task. Mapping ...
