Fluctuation-driven plasticity allows for flexible rewiring of neuronal assemblies

Federico Devalle, Alex Roxin

Synaptic connections in neuronal circuits are modulated by pre- and post-synaptic spiking activity. Heuristic models of this process of synaptic plasticity can provide excellent fi…

An exact firing rate model reveals the differential effects of chemical versus electrical synapses in spiking networks

Bastian Pietras, Federico Devalle, Alex Roxin +2

Chemical and electrical synapses shape the dynamics of neuronal networks. Numerous theoretical studies have investigated how each of these types of synapses contributes to the gene…

Synchrony-induced modes of oscillation of a neural field model

Jose M. Esnaola-Acebes, Alex Roxin, Daniele Avitabile +1

We investigate the modes of oscillation of heterogeneous ring-networks of quadratic integrate-and-fire neurons with non-local, space-dependent coupling. Perturbations of the equili…

Firing rate equations require a spike synchrony mechanism to correctly describe fast oscillations in inhibitory networks

Federico Devalle, Alex Roxin, Ernest Montbrió

Recurrently coupled networks of inhibitory neurons robustly generate oscillations in the gamma band. Nonetheless, the corresponding Wilson-Cowan type firing rate equation for such…

Macroscopic description for networks of spiking neurons

Ernest Montbrió, Diego Pazó, Alex Roxin

A major goal of neuroscience, statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics is to understand how brain function arises from the collective dynamics of networks of spiking neurons. Thi…

How effective delays shape oscillatory dynamics in neuronal networks

Alex Roxin, Ernest Montbrio

Synaptic, dendritic and single-cell kinetics generate significant time delays that shape the dynamics of large networks of spiking neurons. Previous work has shown that such effect…
