Neuromorphic engineering (NE) encompasses a diverse range of approaches to information
processing that are inspired by neurobiological systems, and this feature distinguishes …

Hardware implementations of spiking neurons can be extremely useful for a large variety of
applications, ranging from high-speed modeling of large-scale neural systems to real-time …

The output of cortical columns is routed to different downstream targets via distinct pathways:
cortico-cortical and cortico-subcortical. It is as yet unclear what roles these pathways play in …

The biophysical features of neurons shape information processing in the brain. Cortical
neurons are larger in humans than in other species, but it is unclear how their size affects …

Several analog and digital brain-inspired electronic systems have been recently proposed
as dedicated solutions for fast simulations of spiking neural networks. While these …

Efforts to study the development and function of the human cerebral cortex in health and
disease have been limited by the availability of model systems. Extrapolating from our …

Through a widespread efferent projection system, the locus coeruleus–noradrenergic
system supplies norepinephrine throughout the central nervous system. Initial studies …

We describe a novel slow oscillation in intracellular recordings from cortical association
areas 5 and 7, motor areas 4 and 6, and visual areas 17 and 18 of cats under various …

The mammalian visual system is endowed with a nearly infinite capacity for the recognition
of patterns and objects. To have acquired this capability the visual system must have solved …

Most of our knowledge about the functional organization of neuronal systems is based on
the analysis of the firing patterns of individual neurons that have been recorded one by one …
