Bridging Cognitive And Neural Aspects Of Classroom Learning
Michael I. Posner
A major achievement of the first twenty years of neuroimaging is to reveal the brain networks that underlie fundamental aspects of attention, memory and expertise. We examine some principles underlying the activation of these networks. These networks represent key constraints for the design of teach ... [AIP Conf.

Generating variable birdsong syllable sequences with branching chain networks in avian premotor nucleus HVC
Dezhe Z. Jin
Songs of songbird species such as Bengalese finch consist of sequences of syllables. While syllables are temporally stereotypical, syllable sequences can vary and follow complex, probabilistic transition rules. Recent experiments and computational models suggest that a syllable is encoded in a chain ... [Phys. Rev. E 80, 051902 (2009)] published Thu Nov 5, 2009.

Network-induced chaos in integrate-and-fire neuronal ensembles
Douglas Zhou, Aaditya V. Rangan, Yi Sun, and David Cai
It has been shown that a single standard linear integrate-and-fire (IF) neuron under a general time-dependent stimulus cannot possess chaotic dynamics despite the firing-reset discontinuity. Here we address the issue of whether conductance-based, pulsed-coupled network interactions can induce chaos ... [Phys. Rev. E 80, 031918 (2009)] published Mon Sep 28, 2009.
Smallest artificial molecular neural-net for collective and emergent information processing
Anirban Bandyopadhyay, Satyajit Sahu, and Daisuke Fujita
While exploring the random diffusion of 2 bit molecular switches (we define as molecular neuron) on an atomic flat Au (111) substrate, we have found that at least four molecules are required to construct a functional neural net. Surface electron density wave enables communication of one to many mole ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 95, 113702 (2009)] published Thu Sep 17, 2009.

Firing rate of noisy integrate-and-fire neurons with synaptic current dynamics
David Andrieux and Takaaki Monnai
We derive analytical formulas for the firing rate of integrate-and-fire neurons endowed with realistic synaptic dynamics. In particular, we include the possibility of multiple synaptic inputs as well as the effect of an absolute refractory period into the description. The latter affects the firing r ... [Phys. Rev.

P. A. Tass, A. N. Silchenko, C. Hauptmann, U. B. Barnikol, and E.-J. Speckmann
In computational models it has been shown that appropriate stimulation protocols may reshape the connectivity pattern of neural or oscillator networks with synaptic plasticity in a way that the network learns or unlearns strong synchronization. The underlying mechanism is that a network is shifted f ... [Phys. Rev. E 80, 011902 (2009)] published Thu Jul 2, 2009.
Self-Tuned Critical Anti-Hebbian Networks
Marcelo O. Magnasco, Oreste Piro, and Guillermo A. Cecchi
It is widely recognized that balancing excitation and inhibition is important in the nervous system. When such a balance is sought by global strategies, few modes remain poised close to instability, and all other modes are strongly stable.
