The paper investigates how different regions of the frontal cortex process decision-making by analyzing population geometries in mice choosing between reward amounts and delays.

The paper maps axo-axonic synapses onto descending neurons in the Drosophila ventral nerve cord and identifies their functional roles in motor control.

This paper uses mathematical modeling to show how synaptic short-term plasticity and cellular time scales shape neuronal frequency filters in a basic feedforward network.

This study uses machine learning to identify astrocytic influence on neuronal network activity, finding that astrocytes significantly affect synaptic communication in synchronous networks.

This paper investigates how intrinsic conductances and oscillatory inputs influence the transition between single spiking and bursting in hippocampal neurons, identifying frequency-specific resonance mechanisms.

The paper investigates how inactivating currents modulate dendritic synaptic integration modes under in vivo-like conditions, finding that potassium currents favor coincidence detection while calcium and sodium currents promote integration.

This study shows Frazzled/DCC regulates gap junction formation in Drosophila Giant Fiber System through transcriptional control of synaptic components.

This paper investigates how slow potassium and calcium currents influence spike-to-burst firing transitions in cortical neurons, revealing bistable dynamics and potential pharmacological targets for treating epilepsy.

The paper models how temporal filters in neurons are shaped by presynaptic spike trains and short-term plasticity, showing how different time scales interact to generate filter characteristics.

The paper investigates how rapid fluctuations interact with neuronal dynamics to produce oscillations and variability without requiring stochastic input.

This paper investigates how subthreshold resonant neurons respond to structured and fluctuating inputs, showing that resonance and variability depend on input type and neuronal properties.

This paper replicates the Potjans-Diesmann cortical microcircuit model in Brian 2, achieving similar activity dynamics as the original NEST implementation.
