… In a follow-up study, Gjorgjieva and colleagues examined information transmission at
different timescales in networks equipped with neurons with different conductance ratios [69 •• ]. …

Diverse inhibitory neurons in the mammalian brain shape circuit connectivity and dynamics
through mechanisms of synaptic plasticity. Inhibitory plasticity can establish excitation/…

… with N input neurons x j (t) as Dirac delta spike trains connected to a single output neuron
through the weights w j (t) and giving rise … The input spike trains had average firing rates ρ j (t). …

… For example, if neuron j spikes before neuron i the synaptic weight that goes from j to i, w i
… They joined the Gjorgjieva group during their master degrees and became fascinated by the …

… absence of input noise, we can replace P(k j |s) with P(k j |ν j ) for j = 1, 2 from Equation 3. …
In this expression, P(k j |ν j ) can be computed from Equation 3 for j = 1, 2. Furthermore, P(ν 1 ,ν …

This paper expands on prior work by using whole-brain calcium imaging in Drosophila to
examine how spontaneous and forced walking and turning affect neural activity in the brain. …

Memory of cues associated with threat is critical for survival and a leading model for elucidating
how sensory information is linked to adaptive behavior by learning. Although the brain-…

In pursuit of food, hungry animals mobilize significant energy resources and overcome
exhaustion and fear. How need and motivation control the decision to continue or change …

Drosophila larvae crawl by peristaltic waves of muscle contractions, which propagate along
the animal body and involve the simultaneous contraction of the left and right side of each …
