On the role of arkypallidal and prototypical neurons for phase transitions in the external pallidum

This paper investigates how heterogeneity in the external pallidum (GPe) affects its dynamic regimes and response to oscillatory input, proposing hypotheses about dopamine depletion's effects on neural oscillations.

A Mean-Field Description of Bursting Dynamics in Spiking Neural Networks with Short-Term Adaptation

This study derives mean-field descriptions of bursting dynamics in spiking neural networks with short-term adaptation mechanisms and validates them through bifurcation analysis and comparison with microscopic dynamics.

PyRates - A Python Framework for Rate-Based Neural Simulations

The paper introduces PyRates, a Python framework for building and simulating rate-based neural models, demonstrating its efficiency and scalability through benchmark simulations.

Probing Neural Networks for Dynamic Switches of Communication Pathways

The paper introduces a network perturbation method to study dynamic pathway switching in the human brain using phase offsets and coupling delays, finding 60.1% of node pairs can switch communication pathways.
