A continuously growing body of evidence indicates that astrocytes, which is the most
abundant sub-type of glial cells in the nervous system, not only provide structural and …

Perceptual decision-making is highly dependent on the momentary arousal state of the
brain, which fluctuates over time on a scale of hours, minutes, and even seconds. The …

Biological neurons receive multiple noisy oscillatory signals, and their dynamical response
to the superposition of these signals is of fundamental importance for information processing …

Inverse Stochastic Resonance (ISR) is a phenomenon in which the average spiking rate of a
neuron exhibits a minimum with respect to noise. ISR has been studied in individual …

Stochastic resonance is an essential phenomenon in neurobiology, it is connected to the
constructive role of noise in the signals that take place in neuronal tissues, facilitating …

In this paper we review our research on the effect and computational role of dynamical
synapses on feed-forward and recurrent neural networks. Among others, we report on the …

In the phenomenon of stochastic resonance, adding a certain level of nonzero noise to a
nonlinear system reduces information loss. A previous study proposed a neural network …

Brain stimulation is having remarkable impact on clinical neurology. Brain stimulation can
modulate neuronal activity in functionally segregated circumscribed regions of the human …

We here illustrate how a well-founded study of the brain may originate in assuming
analogies with phase-transition phenomena. Analyzing to what extent a weak signal …

We investigate the phenomenon of vibrational resonance (VR) in neural populations,
whereby weak low-frequency signals below the excitability threshold can be detected with …
