For medical and fundamental reasons, we need to understand adult brain plasticity at
several levels: structural, physiological, and behavioral. Historically, brain plasticity has …

Sleep is critical for memory consolidation, although the exact mechanisms mediating this
process are unknown. Combining reduced network models and analysis of in vivo …

Objective Orientation selectivity is an emergent property of visual neurons across species
with columnar and noncolumnar organization of the visual cortex. The emergence of …

In spite of the fact that the functional organization of primary visual cortices (V1) differs
across species, the dynamic of orientation selectivity is highly structured within neuronal …

Orientation selectivity is an important feature of visual cortical neurons. Optical imaging of
the visual cortex allows for the generation of maps of orientation selectivity that reflect the …

In the nervous system, neurons work in tandem with a full range of complex signaling
chemicals known as neuromodulators which tune neuron function to fit different behavioral …

Le cortex cérébral est impliqué dans plusieurs fonctions entre autres le traitement des
informations sensorielles. Il inclut des zones recevant directement une entrée sensorielle …

In this dissertation, the convex sensing problem is considered, where an unknown open
convex subset K of an affine space is measured by unknown continuous quasi-convex …

Sleep plays a critical role in memory consolidation, although the exact mechanisms
mediating this process are unknown. Combining computational and in vivo experimental …

Sleep plays a critical role in memory consolidation, however, the exact role that sleep and its
effects on neural network dynamics play in this process is still unclear. Here, we combine …
