  1. 11. Universality and Individuality in Recurrent Networks extended to Biologically inspired networks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Nishant Joshi; [2020]
    Keywords : Recurrent Neural Networks; rate Networks; Fixed Points; Dynamical Systems; Leaky Integrate and Fire; Computational Neuroscience;

    Abstract : Activities in the motor cortex are found to be dynamical in nature. Modeling these activities and comparing them with neural recordings helps in understanding the underlying mechanism for the generation of these activities. For this purpose, Recurrent Neural networks or RNNs, have emerged as an appropriate tool. READ MORE

  3. 12. Dopamine replacement therapy reduces beta band burst duration in Parkinson’s disease

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Alessandro Mecconi; [2017]
    Keywords : Parkinson s disease; computational neuroscience; DBS;

    Abstract : One of the main characteristics of Parkinson's disease (PD) is an exaggerated oscillatory activity in the beta band (12-30 Hz). This activity has been linked to the rise of symptoms such as bradykinesia and akinesia. READ MORE

  4. 13. Classification of Neuronal Subtypes in the Striatum and the Effect of Neuronal Heterogeneity on the Activity Dynamics

    University essay from KTH/Beräkningsvetenskap och beräkningsteknik (CST)

    Author : Bo Bekkouche; [2016]
    Keywords : Computational neuroscience; Striatum; Single-cell sequencing; Medium spiny neuron;

    Abstract : Clustering of single-cell RNA sequencing data is often used to show what states and subtypes cells have. Using this technique, striatal cells were clustered into subtypes using different clustering algorithms. Previously known subtypes were confirmed and new subtypes were found. One of them is a third medium spiny neuron subtype. READ MORE

  5. 14. Dynamics of Cortical Networks Segregated into Layers and Columns

    University essay from KTH/Beräkningsbiologi, CB

    Author : Ioannis Kalfas; [2015]
    Keywords : dynamical; systems; neuroscience; computational; biology; modeling;

    Abstract : The neocortex covers 90% of the human cerebral cortex [41] and is responsible for higher cognitive function and socio-cognitive skills in all mammals. It is known to be structured in layers and in some species or cortical areas, in columns. READ MORE

  6. 15. Speech Comprehension : Theoretical approaches and neural correlates

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Magnus Roos; [2015]
    Keywords : Language; speech comprehension; dual-route processing model; trace model; superior temporal gyrus; inferior frontal gyrus; N400; P600;

    Abstract : This review has examined the spatial and temporal neural activation of speech comprehension. Six theories on speech comprehension were selected and reviewed. The most fundamental structures for speech comprehension are the superior temporal gyrus, the fusiform gyrus, the temporal pole, the temporoparietal junction, and the inferior frontal gyrus. READ MORE
