Understanding neurophysiology, computation and their evolutionary optimization with mathematical models.

Joined June 2022
Good old electrophysiology still has tricks up its sleeve. We teamed up with the Vida lab to extend the dynamic clamp from artificial conductances to artificial capacitance in biological neurons. Read about the capacitance clamp and why you should study C: elifesciences.org/articles/7…

Three dynamic classes of APs in regularly firing cells are known. Using temperature to switch spiking, our results suggest the neglected third type, homoclinic spiking with its intriguing coding and synchronisation properties, is relevant in the brain. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Congrats to @ppfeiffer1, @Meng_jiamengwu and the team!
Zebra finches take turns to avoid tweeting at the same time. @LabVallentin & the Schreiber lab described the underlying neuronal circuit. It’s based in a brain area called HVC, integrates auditory inputs & precisely times vocal output: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.21… 🖌️ by Matt Zaharchuk
