Sleep and the price of plasticity: from synaptic and cellular homeostasis to memory consolidation and integration
Sleep is universal, tightly regulated, and its loss impairs cognition. But why does the brain
need to disconnect from the environment for hours every day? The synaptic homeostasis …

The log-dynamic brain: how skewed distributions affect network operations
G Buzsáki, K Mizuseki - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2014 - nature.com
We often assume that the variables of functional and structural brain parameters—such as
synaptic weights, the firing rates of individual neurons, the synchronous discharge of neural …

Astrocytes regulate cortical state switching in vivo
KE Poskanzer, R Yuste - Proceedings of the National …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
The role of astrocytes in neuronal function has received increasing recognition, but
disagreement remains about their function at the circuit level. Here we use in vivo two …

[HTML][HTML] Philosophy of the spike: rate-based vs. spike-based theories of the brain
R Brette - Frontiers in systems neuroscience, 2015 - frontiersin.org
Does the brain use a firing rate code or a spike timing code? Considering this controversial
question from an epistemological perspective, I argue that progress has been hampered by …

Tuning pathological brain oscillations with neurofeedback: a systems neuroscience framework
Neurofeedback (NFB) is emerging as a promising technique that enables self-regulation of
ongoing brain oscillations. However, despite a rise in empirical evidence attesting to its …

Packet-based communication in the cortex
Cortical circuits work through the generation of coordinated, large-scale activity patterns. In
sensory systems, the onset of a discrete stimulus usually evokes a temporally organized …
