Synaptic clustering emerges from learning and supports covariance discrimination

Ilenna Simone Jones, Maceo Richards, Houman Safaai +2

Functional synapse clusters (FSCs) are synapses with correlated presynaptic activity that are colocalized on the same neuronal dendritic branch. FSCs have been observed after learn…

Efficient optimization of ODE neuron models using gradient descent

Ilenna Simone Jones, Konrad Paul Kording

Neuroscientists fit morphologically and biophysically detailed neuron simulations to physiological data, often using evolutionary algorithms. However, such gradient-free approaches…

Do biological constraints impair dendritic computation?

Ilenna Simone Jones, Konrad Paul Kording

Computations on the dendritic trees of neurons have important constraints. Voltage dependent conductances in dendrites are not similar to arbitrary direct-current generation, they…

Can Single Neurons Solve MNIST? The Computational Power of Biological Dendritic Trees

Ilenna Simone Jones, Konrad Paul Kording

Physiological experiments have highlighted how the dendrites of biological neurons can nonlinearly process distributed synaptic inputs. This is in stark contrast to units in artifi…

On functions computed on trees

Roozbeh Farhoodi, Khashayar Filom, Ilenna Simone Jones +1

Any function can be constructed using a hierarchy of simpler functions through compositions. Such a hierarchy can be characterized by a binary rooted tree. Each node of this tree i…
