    • Computing Complex Visual Features with Retinal Spike Times 

      Gütig, Robert; Gollisch, Tim; Sompolinsky, Haim I; Meister, Markus (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Neurons in sensory systems can represent information not only by their firing rate, but also by the precise timing of individual spikes. For example, certain retinal ganglion cells, first identified in the salamander, ...

    • Intrinsic Neuronal Properties Switch the Mode of Information Transmission in Networks 

      Gjorgjieva, Julijana; Mease, Rebecca A.; Moody, William J.; Fairhall, Adrienne L. (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      Diverse ion channels and their dynamics endow single neurons with complex biophysical properties. These properties determine the heterogeneity of cell types that make up the brain, as constituents of neural circuits tuned ...

    • Markov Chain Monte Carlo Sampling Algorithms in Neural Circuitry 

      Connor, J. Patrick Gerard (2022-06-03)
      There is growing evidence that the nervous system is tuned and adapted to the sta- tistical properties of the sensory information from the surrounding environment and that it is possible that the brain performs some form ...

    • Monoaminergic Orchestration of Motor Programs in a Complex C. elegans Behavior 

      Donnelly, Jamie L.; Clark, Christopher M.; Leifer, Andrew M.; Pirri, Jennifer K.; Haburcak, Marian; Francis, Michael M.; Samuel, Aravinthan DT; Alkema, Mark J. (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Monoamines provide chemical codes of behavioral states. However, the neural mechanisms of monoaminergic orchestration of behavior are poorly understood. Touch elicits an escape response in Caenorhabditis elegans where the ...
