On reproducibility of modeling and 10 years with the Potjans-Diesmann network model - with Hans Ekkehard Plesser - #37
Reproducibility is key for scientific progress. If research results cannot be reproduced and trusted, other researchers cannot build on them. Reproducibility is a challenge also in computational neuro...

On low-dimensional manifolds in motor cortex - with Sara Solla - #36
Historically, the analysis of neural recordings focused on responses of single neurons recorded by single-contact electrodes. Modern electrodes with multiple electrode contacts can instead record spik...

On modeling metabolic networks in the brain – with Polina Shichkova - #35
Neurons need particular sodium and potassium concentration gradients across their membranes to function. These gradients are set up by so-called ion pumps which require energy stored in ATP molecules ...

On balanced neural networks - with Nicolas Brunel - #34
An important discovery that has come out of computational neuroscience, is that cortical neurons in vivo appear to receive so-called balanced inputs. In the balanced state the excitatory and inhibitor...
