Mechanism, dynamics, and biological existence of multistability in a large class of bursti…
Multistability, the coexistence of multiple attractors in a dynamical system, is explored in bursting nerve cells. A modeling study is performed to show that a large class of bursting systems, as defined by a shared topology when represented as dynam...
The concept of mirror neurons are well-known -- roughly speaking, if you see someone in pa…

Neuron-Level Knowledge Attribution in Large Language Models
Identifying important neurons for final predictions is essential for understanding the mechanisms of large language models. Due to computational constraints, current attribution techniques struggle to operate at neuron level. In this paper, we propos...
Sensitivity and specificity of a Bayesian single trial analysis for time varying neural si…
We recently reported the existence of fluctuations in neural signals that may permit neurons to code multiple simultaneous stimuli sequentially across time. This required deploying a novel statistical approach to permit investigation of neural activi...
This is how neurons in your brain form new connections.

3.4 The Brain and Spinal Cord - Psychology 2e | OpenStax
The brain is a remarkably complex organ comprised of billions of interconnected neurons and glia. It is a bilateral, or two-sided, structure that can be separated into distinct lobes. Each lobe is associated …
Activate or Not: Learning Customized Activation
We present a simple, effective, and general activation function we term ACON which learns to activate the neurons or not. Interestingly, we find Swish, the recent popular NAS-searched activation, can be interpreted as a smooth approximation to ReLU....

An Algorithm Based on a Cable-Nernst Planck Model Predicting Synaptic Activity throughout…
Recent technological advances have enabled the recording of neurons in intact circuits with a high spatial and temporal resolution, creating the need for modeling with the same precision. In particular, the development of ultra-fast two-photon micros...
The growing topology of the C. elegans connectome
Probing the developing neural circuitry in Caenorhabditis elegans has enhanced our understanding of nervous systems. The C. elegans connectome, like those of other species, is characterized by a rich club of densely connected neurons embedded within...

Technological integration and hyper-connectivity: Tools for promoting extreme human lifesp…
Artificial, neurobiological, and social networks are three distinct complex adaptive systems (CAS), each containing discrete processing units (nodes, neurons, and humans respectively). Despite the apparent differences, these three networks are bound...

Spontaneous Motion on Two-dimensional Continuous Attractors
Attractor models are simplified models used to describe the dynamics of firing rate profiles of a pool of neurons. The firing rate profile, or the neuronal activity, is thought to carry information. Continuous attractor neural networks (CANNs) descri...

Parasympathetic Nervous System – Introduction to Neuroscience
The postganglionic neurons are found in clusters called intramural (“inside the wall [of the organ]”) ganglia. This allows the parasympathetic nervous system to control its targets organ-by-organ rather …
