Neuronal morphology plays a fundamental role for the information processing capabilities of
neurons. These dependencies can be investigated using compartmental models to simulate …

In the medial superior olive (MSO), neurons compute the azimuthal location of low frequency
sound sources by a temporally precise mechanism of coincidence detection. This type of …

Coincidence detector neurons transmit timing information by responding preferentially to
concurrent synaptic inputs. Principal cells of the medial superior olive (MSO) in the …

Principal cells of the medial superior olive (MSO) are very fast coincidence detectors in the
auditory brainstem that encode interaural time differences by their firing rate. Their …

Neural morphology and membrane properties vary greatly between cell types in the nervous
system. The computations and local circuit connectivity that neurons support are thought to …

Computational modeling plays an important role in the investigation of acoustic information
processing along the auditory system. Recent studies found that a relatively simple neuronal …

In this thesis, a method for evaluating the accuracy of mathematical neuron models is
developed, with the objective to both improve the quality and the speed of parameter …

In order to understand the information processing at the level of individual nerve cells,
detailed information is required about the complex interactions between the anatomical …

The inferior olive (IO) possesses synaptic glomeruli, which contain dendritic spines from
neighboring neurons and presynaptic terminals, many of which are inhibitory and …

One of the central goals of today's neuroscience is to achieve the conceivably most accurate
classification of neuron types in the mammalian brain. As part of this research effort …
