Twenty years of ModelDB and beyond: building essential modeling tools for the future of neuroscience

RA McDougal, TM Morse, T Carnevale… - Journal of computational …, 2017 - Springer
Neuron modeling may be said to have originated with the Hodgkin and Huxley action
potential model in 1952 and Rall's models of integrative activity of dendrites in 1964. Over …

Ion channels controlling circadian rhythms in suprachiasmatic nucleus excitability

JRM Harvey, AE Plante… - Physiological …, 2020 - journals.physiology.org

Higher-order thalamocortical inputs gate synaptic long-term potentiation via disinhibition

LE Williams, A Holtmaat - Neuron, 2019 - cell.com
Sensory experience and perceptual learning changes receptive field properties of cortical
pyramidal neurons (PNs), largely mediated by synaptic long-term potentiation (LTP). The …

Interneuronal mechanisms of hippocampal theta oscillations in a full-scale model of the rodent CA1 circuit

MJ Bezaire, I Raikov, K Burk, D Vyas, I Soltesz - Elife, 2016 - elifesciences.org

A model for focal seizure onset, propagation, evolution, and progression

J Liou, EH Smith, LM Bateman, SL Bruce… - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
We developed a neural network model that can account for major elements common to
human focal seizures. These include the tonic-clonic transition, slow advance of clinical …

The ictal wavefront is the spatiotemporal source of discharges during spontaneous human seizures

EH Smith, J Liou, TS Davis, EM Merricks… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
The extensive distribution and simultaneous termination of seizures across cortical areas
has led to the hypothesis that seizures are caused by large-scale coordinated networks …
