The intricate intracellular infrastructure of all known life forms is based on proteins. The folded shape of a protein determines both the protein’s function and the set of mole...

Most neural communication and processing tasks are driven by spikes. This has enabled the application of the event-driven simulation schemes. However the simulation of spiking neu...

Olfactory transduction is a multistep process whose basic function is to convert a low energy reaction, the odorant-receptor interaction that may involve a single odorant molecule...

Up to few years ago astrocytes have been considered as passive elements of brain, providing structural and metabolic support to the neurons, but playing little role in information...

We numerically study the subharmonic response of a heterogeneous pool of neurons to a pair of independent inputs. The neurons are stimulated with periodic pulse trains of frequenc...
We utilize a model of motion perception to link a physiological study of feature attention in cortical motion processing to a psychophysical experiment of motion perception. We ex...
What fraction of the inputs to a neuron in the primary visual cortex (V1) need to be active for that neuron to reach its firing threshold? The paper describes a numerical method f...
