Investigating the dynamics of a network of oscillatory systems is a timely and urgent topic.
Phase synchronization has proven paradigmatic to study emergent collective behavior …

The origin of orientation selectivity in the responses of simple cells in cat visual cortex serves
as a model problem for understanding cortical circuitry and computation. The feed-forward …

Neurons in the brain communicate by short electrical pulses, the so-called action potentials
or spikes. How can we understand the process of spike generation? How can we …

Summary Subtypes of GABAergic interneurons (INs) are crucial for cortical function, yet their
specific roles are largely unknown. In contrast to supra-and infragranular layers, where most …

Experimental evidence suggests that the maintenance of an item in working memory is
achieved through persistent activity in selective neural assemblies of the cortex. To …

Abstract Models of neural networks are developed from a biological point of view. Small
networks are analysed using techniques from dynamical systems. The behaviour of spatially …

This text is an introduction to dynamical modeling in cell biology. It is not meant as a
complete overview of modeling or of particular models in cell biology. Rather, we use …

Activity concentrations of 137Cs in sediments, as well as extractable sediment
concentrations of K, Na, Mg, Ca, Mn, Zn and P, pH, percent organic matter and cation …

In cerebral cortex, ongoing activity absent a stimulus can resemble stimulus-driven activity in
size and structure. In particular, spontaneous activity in cat primary visual cortex (V1) has …

The advent of ever more sophisticated molecular manipulation techniques has made it clear
that cellular systems are far more complex and dynamic than previously thought. At the …
