Towards a theory of cortical columns: From spiking neurons to interacting neural populations of finite size
Tilo Schwalger, Moritz Deger, Wulfram Gerstner
Neural population equations such as neural mass or field models are widely used to study brain activity on a large scale. However, the relation of these models to the properties of…

Multi-contact synapses for stable networks: a spike-timing dependent model of dendritic spine plasticity and turnover
Moritz Deger, Alexander Seeholzer, Wulfram Gerstner
Excitatory synaptic connections in the adult neocortex consist of multiple synaptic contacts, almost exclusively formed on dendritic spines. Changes of dendritic spine shape and vo…
