Impact on backpropagation of the spatial heterogeneity of sodium channel kinetics in the axon initial segment
Benjamin Barlow, André Longtin, Béla Joós
The paper investigates how spatial variations in sodium channel kinetics along the axon initial segment affect backpropagation of action potentials during orthodromic and antidromic stimulation.

Dentate gyrus mossy cells exhibit sparse coding via adaptive spike threshold dynamics
Anh‐Tuan Trinh, Mauricio Girardi‐Schappo, Jean-Claude Béïque…·Leonard Maler
This paper investigates the biophysical properties of hilar mossy cells (hMCs) and develops a model to explain their adaptive spike threshold dynamics and role in pattern separation.

Temporal derivative computation in the dorsal raphe network revealed by an experimentally-driven augmented integrate-and-fire modeling framework
Emerson F. Harkin, Michael B. Lynn, Alexandre Payeur…·Jean-Claude Béïque
The paper uses an augmented integrate-and-fire model to show that the dorsal raphe network encodes both input intensity and its temporal derivative, with the derivative dominating during rapid input increases.

Mixed selectivity coding of sensory and motor social signals in the thalamus of a weakly electric fish
Avner Wallach, Alexandre Melanson, André Longtin, Leonard Maler
The paper investigates how mixed selectivity codes sensory and motor social signals in the thalamus of weakly electric fish, showing their role in social behavior and dominance.

The hybrid nature of task-evoked activity: Inside-out neural dynamics in intracranial EEG and Deep Learning
Annemarie Wolff, Liang Chen, Shankar Tumati…·Georg Northoff
This paper investigates the hybrid nature of task-evoked neural activity using intracranial EEG and Deep Learning LSTM models, showing that poststimulus activity is influenced more by prestimulus dynamics than the external stimulus itself.

Parsing out the variability of transmission at central synapses using optical quantal analysis
Cary Soares, Daniel Trotter, André Longtin…·Richard Naud
The paper develops a computational method to estimate quantal parameters at single synapses using iGluSnFR imaging and statistical algorithms.

Linking Demyelination to Compound Action Potential
This paper introduces a computational model to study how demyelination affects axonal transmission and shows that spike timing jitter can indicate demyelination levels.

A novel time-stamp mechanism transforms egocentric encounters into an allocentric spatial representation
Avner Wallach, Erik Harvey‐Girard, James Jaeyoon Jun…·Leonard Maler
This paper demonstrates that electric fish use a time-stamp mechanism in the preglomerular complex to transform egocentric encounters into allocentric spatial representations through path-integration.

Noise Gated by Dendrosomatic Interactions Increases Information Transmission
Richard Naud, Alexandre Payeur, André Longtin
The paper shows that noise in dendrites can enhance information transmission in neural populations by switching leadership between dendrites and soma based on input strength.
