Large-scale neural recordings call for new insights to link brain and behavior
Anne E. Urai, Brent Doiron, Andrew M. Leifer +1
Neuroscientists today can measure activity from more neurons than ever before, and are facing the challenge of connecting these brain-wide neural recordings to computation and beha…
Correlation transfer by layer 5 cortical neurons under recreated synaptic inputs in vitro
Daniele Linaro, Gabriel K. Ocker, Brent Doiron +1
Correlated electrical activity in neurons is a prominent characteristic of cortical microcircuits. Despite a growing amount of evidence concerning both spike-count and subthreshold…
From the statistics of connectivity to the statistics of spike times in neuronal networks
Gabriel Koch Ocker, Yu Hu, Michael A. Buice +4
An essential step toward understanding neural circuits is linking their structure and their dynamics. In general, this relationship can be almost arbitrarily complex. Recent theore…
Training and spontaneous reinforcement of neuronal assemblies by spike timing
Gabriel Koch Ocker, Brent Doiron
The synaptic connectivity of cortex is plastic, with experience shaping the ongoing interactions between neurons. Theoretical studies of spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) ha…
Self-organization of microcircuits in networks of neurons with plastic synapses
Gabriel Koch Ocker, Ashok Litwin-Kumar, Brent Doiron
The synaptic connectivity of cortical networks features an overrepresentation of certain wiring motifs compared to simple random-network models. This structure is shaped, in part,…
Optimizing working memory with heterogeneity of recurrent cortical excitation
Zachary P. Kilpatrick, Bard Ermentrout, Brent Doiron
A neural correlate of parametric working memory is a stimulus specific rise in neuron firing rate that persists long after the stimulus is removed. Network models with local excita…
