A dynamical-systems model for Parkinson's disease
Abstract. The juxtaposition of hypokinetic and hyperkinetic symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) presents a challenge in modeling the basal ganglia. We propose a model of the ...

Spatial cognition and neuro-mimetic navigation: a model of hippocampal place cell activity
Abstract. A computational model of hippocampal activity during spatial cognition and navigation tasks is presented. The spatial representation in our model of the rat hippocampus i...

Insect visual homing strategies in a robot with analog processing
Abstract The visual homing abilities of insects can be explained by the snapshot hypothesis. It asserts that an animal is guided to a previously visited location by comparing the c...

Computational model of dot-pattern selective cells
Abstract. A computational model of a dot-pattern selective neuron is proposed. This type of neuron is found in the inferotemporal cortex of monkeys. It responds strongly to groups ...

Generic origins of irregular spiking in neocortical networks
We identify generic sources of complex and irregular spiking in biological neural networks. For the network description, we operate on a mathematically exact mesoscopic approach. S...
