Transition of firing modes via synapse is a crucial step in neural coding. The
neuron/synapse-like circuits have been proposed to simulate neural behaviors and …

Reciprocal copy number variations (CNVs) of 16p11. 2 are associated with a wide spectrum
of neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. Here, we use human induced …

In view of ever-changing conditions both in the external world and in intrinsic brain states,
maintaining the robustness of computations poses a challenge, adequate solutions to which …

Neuronal excitabilities behave as the basic and important dynamics related to the transitions
between firing and resting states, and are characterized by distinct bifurcation types and …

Excitatory autapse with short time delay can lower the firing frequency of spiking behaviors
near subcritical Hopf bifurcation, which is interpreted with type II phase response curve …

Dopamine neurons play an essential role in terms of cognitive coordination and executive
functions, which has been investigated in the therapy of multiple psychiatric and …

Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated cation current (I h) plays important roles
in the achievement of many physiological/pathological functions in the nervous system by …

A large body of data has identified numerous molecular targets through which ethanol
(EtOH) acts on brain circuits. Yet how these multiple mechanisms interact to result in …

Postinhibitory facilitation (PIF) of neural firing presents a paradoxical phenomenon that the
inhibitory effect induces enhancement instead of reduction of the firing activity, which plays …

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) lead to dramatic changes in the surviving brain tissue. Altered
ion concentrations, coupled with changes in the expression of membrane-spanning …
