Statistical model of evolution of brain parcellation
Daniel D. Ferrante, Yi Wei, Alexei A. Koulakov
We study the distribution of brain and cortical area sizes [parcellation units (PUs)] obtained for three species: mouse, macaque, and human. We find that the distribution of PU siz…
Eigenvalue spectra of asymmetric random matrices for multi-component neural networks
Yi Wei
This paper focuses on large neural networks whose synaptic connectivity matrices are randomly chosen from certain random matrix ensembles. The dynamics of these networks can be cha…
Long-term memory stabilized by noise-induced rehearsal
Yi Wei, Alexei A. Koulakov
Cortical networks can maintain memories for decades despite the short lifetime of synaptic strength. Can a neural network store long-lasting memories in unstable synapses? Here, we…
An Exactly Solvable Model of Random Site-Specific Recombinations
Yi Wei, Alexei Koulakov
Cre-lox and other systems are used as genetic tools to control site-specific recombination (SSR) events in genomic DNA. If multiple recombination sites are organized in a compact c…
