Dynamics of random neural networks with bistable units
We construct and analyze a rate-based neural network model in which self-interacting units
represent clusters of neurons with strong local connectivity and random interunit connections …

Transition to chaos in random networks with cell-type-specific connectivity
In neural circuits, statistical connectivity rules strongly depend on cell-type identity. We study
dynamics of neural networks with cell-type-specific connectivity by extending the dynamic …

A reservoir of timescales emerges in recurrent circuits with heterogeneous neural assemblies
The temporal activity of many physical and biological systems, from complex networks to
neural circuits, exhibits fluctuations simultaneously varying over a large range of timescales. …

[PDF][PDF] Numerical cognition based on precise counting with a single spiking neuron
Insects are able to solve basic numerical cognition tasks. We show that estimation of numerosity
can be realized and learned by a single spiking neuron with an appropriate synaptic …

Eigenvalues of block structured asymmetric random matrices
J Aljadeff, D Renfrew, M Stern - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2015 - pubs.aip.org
We study the spectrum of an asymmetric random matrix with block structured variances. The
rows and columns of the random square matrix are divided into D partitions with arbitrary …

[PDF][PDF] Functional plasticity of odor representations during motherhood
Motherhood is accompanied by new behaviors aimed at ensuring the wellbeing of the
offspring. Olfaction plays a key role in guiding maternal behaviors during this transition. We …

[HTML][HTML] Plume dynamics structure the spatiotemporal activity of mitral/tufted cell networks in the mouse olfactory bulb
Although mice locate resources using turbulent airborne odor plumes, the stochasticity and
intermittency of fluctuating plumes create challenges for interpreting odor cues in natural …

Inferring the spiking rate of a population of neurons from wide-field calcium imaging
Wide-field calcium imaging techniques allow recordings of high-resolution neuronal activity
across one or more brain regions. However, since the recordings capture light emission …
