Decoding behavior with minimal and interpretable agent models

This paper introduces a method to reconstruct decision processes from behavioral observations, validated on synthetic agents and experimental data from rats and mice.

Unveiling Gene Perturbation Effects through Gene Regulatory Networks Inference from single-cell transcriptomic data

IGNITE infers gene regulatory networks from scRNA-seq data and accurately simulates gene perturbations with 74% accuracy in murine pluripotent stem cells.

The somatosensory barrel cortex controls the spindlethalamocortical oscillation by frequency locking

The paper demonstrates that the somatosensory barrel cortex controls spindle oscillations through frequency locking in anesthetized rats.

Prenatal experience with language shapes the brain

This study shows that newborns' brain activity shows increased long-range temporal correlations after speech stimulation, particularly for the language they heard prenatally.

A method for extracting an approximated connectome from libraries of single cell anatomical reconstructions

The paper presents a method to approximate brain connectomes from single-cell anatomical reconstructions without synaptic annotations, validated on Drosophila and zebrafish datasets.

Criticality and network structure drive emergent oscillations in a stochastic whole-brain model

This paper shows that brain network structure and criticality drive collective oscillations in a stochastic whole-brain model.

Beyond resting state neuronal avalanches in the somatosensory barrel cortex

The paper investigates whether neuronal avalanches in the somatosensory barrel cortex of anesthetized rats exhibit critical behavior during spontaneous and stimulated activity.
