This paper proposes a disinhibition-based model of CA1 place field sequences, showing that disinhibition sharpens place fields and enables flexible sequential activity without recurrent excitation.

The paper extends auditory perceptual bistability to tri-stability through experiments and modeling, showing a neural model can capture tri-stable perception with minimal adjustments.

This study trains a biologically constrained RNN on rhythmic timing tasks and identifies neural mechanisms that replicate observed dynamics in monkey neural recordings.

The paper shows that synaptic homeostasis uses both Hebbian and homeostatic mechanisms in a nonmonotonic way to adapt to prolonged inactivity.

The paper introduces a firing rate model that generates gamma oscillations in inhibitory networks and extends it to excitatory-inhibitory networks, capturing transitions between different gamma oscillation types.

This paper presents a biophysical model using Wilson-Cowan units to count pacemaker pulses in the presence of noise, mapping counting to spatial position for time estimation.

The paper identifies two distinct spiking modes in forebrain neurons: a universal ground state and context-dependent activated state, with implications for neuronal function.

The paper models auditory streaming as an evidence accumulation process with saturation, explaining buildup and bistability in perceptual alternations.

The paper develops a mean field model to explain NREM sleep dynamics in the neocortex and hippocampus, showing they alternate between stable and transient states.

This paper introduces a neuronal model for beat generation that learns isochronous rhythms and synchronizes with external stimuli across music-relevant frequencies.

The paper investigates how soma-axon coupling configurations enhance coincidence detection in MSO neurons through computational modeling and parameter space analysis.

This paper explores how sleep, specifically NREM slow oscillations, regulates the distribution of cortical firing rates to support both memory consolidation and neuronal system maintenance.
