Stochastic Models of Neural Synaptic Plasticity [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In neuroscience, learning and memory are usually associated to long-term changes of neuronal connectivity. In this context, synaptic plasticity refers to the set of mechanisms driving the dynamics of neuronal connections, called {\em synapses} and represented by a scalar value, the synaptic weight.

Astrocyte and Neuronal Plasticity in the Somatosensory System [PDF]
Neural Plasticity, 2015 Changing the whisker complement on a rodent’s snout can lead to two forms of experience-dependent plasticity (EDP) in the neurons of the barrel cortex, where whiskers are somatotopically represented. One form, termed coding plasticity, concerns changes in synaptic transmission and connectivity between neurons.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.In this study, the mechanical response of Y‐shaped core sandwich beams under compressive loading is investigated, using deep feed‐forward neural networks (DFNNs) for predictive modeling. The DFNN model accurately captures stress–strain behavior, influenced by design parameters and loading rates.

Unique potential of immature adult-born neurons for the remodeling of CA3 spatial maps
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: Mammalian hippocampal circuits undergo extensive remodeling through adult neurogenesis. While this process has been widely studied, the specific contribution of adult-born granule cells (aGCs) to spatial operations in the hippocampus remains ...

Diverse processing of pharmacological and natural rewards by the central amygdala
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: The central amygdala (CeA) with its medial (CeM) and lateral (CeL) nuclei is the brain hub for processing stimuli with emotional context. CeL nucleus gives a strong inhibitory input to the CeM, and this local circuitry assigns values (positive ...
