Mechanistic bridges from receptors to whole-brain dynamics: mean-field reductions, validity domains, and computational trade-offs
Yannael Bossard, Lehna Bekri, Alain Destexhe
Many pharmacological and pathological perturbations arise at molecular, synaptic, or cellular scales, but are observed through population and whole-brain signals. Cross-scale reduc…
Neuronal cable equations derived from the hydrodynamic motion of charged particles
Davide Forcella, Alberto Romagnoni, Alain Destexhe
Neuronal cable theory is usually derived from an electric analogue of the membrane, which contrasts with the slow movement of ions in aqueous media. We show here that it is possibl…
A formalism for the long-distance magnetic field generated by populations of neurons
Alexis Garcia-Rodriguez, Alain Destexhe
Brain activity can be measured using magnetic fields located at some distance from the brain, a technique called magneto-encephalography (MEG). The origin of such magnetic fields a…
Optimal responsiveness and collective oscillations emerging from the heterogeneity of inhibitory neurons
Matteo di Volo, Alain Destexhe
The brain is characterized by a strong heterogeneity of inhibitory neurons. We report that spiking neural networks display a resonance to the heterogeneity of inhibitory neurons, w…
Is there sufficient evidence for criticality in cortical systems?
Alain Destexhe, Jonathan D. Touboul
Many studies have found evidence that the brain operates at a critical point, a processus known as self-organized criticality. A recent paper found remarkable scalings suggestive o…
The scientific case for brain simulations
Gaute T. Einevoll, Alain Destexhe, Markus Diesmann +7
A key element of the European Union's Human Brain Project (HBP) and other large-scale brain research projects is simulation of large-scale model networks of neurons. Here we argue…
