  1. 1. Dynamic synapses in neural information processing : Examining the influence of short-term synaptic plasticity on neural coding

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

    Author : Oscar Spolander; [2022]
    Keywords : Short-term synaptic plasticity; Neural codes; Action Potential; Neuron firing rate; Rate code; Kort synaptiskt plasticitet; Neurala koder; Nervimpuls; Impulsfrekvens för nervcell; Frekvenskod;

    Abstract : Short-term synaptic plasticity (STP) is a phenomenon that has been closely associated with how neurons communicate with each other. I study communication between neurons tied to synapses endowed with short-term plasticity (dynamic synapses). READ MORE

  3. 2. Measurement of timescales of cortical neuronal activity in behaving mice

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

    Author : Sasa Lekic; [2021]
    Keywords : Neural activity; prefrontal cortex; visual cortex; Timescale; Spike trains; Functional hierarchy; Neural aktivitet; PFC; Timescale; Spike train; Funktionell hierarki;

    Abstract : Electrical activity is omnipresent throughout the brain, and it varies dependant on the brain region. Areal hierarchy has been suggested to be one of the main principles of the organization of the brain, but there is not a lot of evidence available related to the specialization of the brain’s regions in the temporal domain, that is, how the activity evolves over time.

  4. 3. A study of Neural Circuitry in Microdeletion Syndrome

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : David Holmberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Signal Processing; Analytical Software; Large Data Set; Classification; Sorting; Neurotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Abstract Introduction. The Brain is an amazingly complex piece of biological hardware, capable of massive information processing. It relies heavily on the delicate interactions between huge distributed networks to work properly. When these interactions are altered there can be any number of consequences. READ MORE

  5. 4. The modeling of drug-induced changes in ion channel kinetics and firing properties in fast-spiking interneurons: a computational study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Alexander Cahlin; [2018]
    Keywords : Modeling; Hodgkin-Huxley; Nav1.1; VGSC; SCN1A; interneurons; AA43279; 3-amino-5- 4-methoxyphenyl thiophene-2-carboxamide; electrophysiology.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Interneurons have been found to be important for normal cognitive function. Impairments to their growth or signaling have been indicated to be involved in the development of schizophrenia, autism and epilepsy. READ MORE
