    • A comparison of methods to determine neuronal phase-response curves 

      Torben-Nielsen, Ben; Uusisaari, Marylka; Stiefel, Klaus M. (2010)
      The phase-response curve (PRC) is an important tool to determine the excitability type of single neurons which reveals consequences for their synchronizing properties. We review five methods to compute the PRC from both ...
    • The Green's function formalism as a bridge between single- and multi-compartmental modeling 

      Wybo, Willem A. M.; Stiefel, Klaus M.; Torben-Nielsen, Ben (2013-12)
      Neurons are spatially extended structures that receive and process inputs on their dendrites. It is generally accepted that neuronal computations arise from the active integration of synaptic inputs along a dendrite between ...
    • An inverse approach for elucidating dendritic function 

      Torben-Nielsen, Ben; Stiefel, Klaus M. (2010)
      We outline an inverse approach for investigating dendritic function-structure relationships by optimizing dendritic trees for a priori chosen computational functions. The inverse approach can be applied in two different ...
    • Systematic mapping between dendritic function and structure 

      Torben-Nielsen, Ben; Stiefel, Klaus M. (2009)
      For many classes of neurons, the relationship between computational function and dendritic morphology remains unclear. To gain insights into this relationship, we utilize an inverse approach in which we optimize model ...
    • Wide-field motion integration in fly VS cells : insights from an inverse approach 

      Torben-Nielsen, Ben; Stiefel, Klaus M. (2010)
      Fly lobula plate tangential cells are known to perform wide-field motion integration. It is assumed that the shape of these neurons, and in particular the shape of the subclass of VS cells, is responsible for this type of ...
