Information theoretical analysis of differences in information transmission in cerebellar Purkinje cells across species
(2014-07)
The dendrite of the cerebellar Purkinje cell is one of the most complex structures in the mammalian brain, receiving more than 150,000 synaptic inputs. It is also one of the most extensively modelled neurons in the mammalian ...
Multiplicative gain modulation arising from inhibitory synaptic plasticity in the cerebellar nuclei
(2014)
Neurons use the rate of action potentials to encode sensory variables. This makes the output rate as a function of input, also known as input-output (I–O) relationship, a core computational function in neuronal processing. ...
Synaptic plasticity and pattern recognition in cerebellar Purkinje cells
(Springer Nature, 2014)
Many theories of cerebellar learning assume that long-term depression (LTD) of synapses between parallel fibres (PFs) and Purkinje cells is the basis for pattern recognition in the cerebellum. Here we describe a series of ...
Evolving spiking neural networks for temporal pattern recognition in the presence of noise
(MIT Press, 2014)
Nervous systems of biological organisms use temporal patterns of spikes to encode sensory input, but the mechanisms that underlie the recognition of such patterns are unclear. In the present work, we explore how networks ...
Recognizing facial expressions : Computational models and humans
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-12-31)
This paper discusses various biologically plausible computational models that recognize human facial expression and analyze them. Identifying facial expressions is a non trivial task for a human and is a key part of social ...
Biologically plausible computational models for facial expression recognition
(2013-12-01)
This paper discusses various biologically plausible computational models that recognize human facial expression and analyze them. Identifying facial expressions is a non trivial task for a human and is a key part of social ...
Short-term depression of inhibitory Purkinje cell synapses enhances gain modulation in the cerebellar nuclei

Poster presented at CNS 2013
Evolution of Dendritic Morphologies Using Deterministic and Nondeterministic Genotype to Phenotype Mapping
(Springer Nature, 2013)
In this study, two morphological representations in the genotype, a deterministic and a nondeterministic representation, are compared when evolving a neuronal morphology for a pattern recognition task. The deterministic ...
Characterising the performance of balanced memory networks
