Animal behavior was classically considered to be determined exclusively by neuronal
activity, whereas surrounding glial cells such as astrocytes played only supportive roles …

Glial cells exploit calcium (Ca 2+) signals to perceive the information about the activity of the
nervous tissue and the tissue environment to translate this information into an array of …

Memory persistence is a fundamental cognitive process for guiding behaviors and is
considered to rely mostly on neuronal and synaptic plasticity. Whether and how astrocytes …

We propose a novel biologically plausible computational model of working memory (WM)
implemented by a spiking neuron network (SNN) interacting with a network of astrocytes …

Functional neuroimaging techniques are widely applied to investigations of human cognition
and disease. The most commonly used among these is blood oxygen level-dependent …

A few studies have compared the static functional connectivity between awake and lightly
anesthetized states in rodents by resting-state fMRI. However, impact of light anesthesia on …

This study presents an extensive analysis of the predictive power of time-dependent density
functional theory in determining the excited-state properties of two groups of important …

Key points Inputs impinging on layer 5 pyramidal neurons perform essential operations as
these cells represent one of the most important output carriers of the cerebral cortex …

Abstract Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has transformed our understanding
of brain function in-vivo. However, the neurovascular coupling mechanisms underlying fMRI …

Voltage-sensitive dye imaging (VSDI) is a powerful technique for interrogating membrane
potential dynamics in assemblies of cortical neurons, but with effective resolution limits that …
