Gradient estimation in dendritic reinforcement learningThe Journal of Mathematical Neuroscience - Tập 2 - Trang 1-19 - 2012
Mathieu Schiess, Robert Urbanczik, Walter Senn
We study synaptic plasticity in a complex neuronal cell model where NMDA-spikes
can arise in certain dendritic zones. In the context of reinforcement learning,
two kinds of plasticity rules are derived, zone reinforcement (ZR) and cell
reinforcement (CR), which both optimize the expected reward by stochastic
gradient ascent. For ZR, the synaptic plasticity response to the external reward
signal is... hiện toàn bộ
Stochastic synchronization of neuronal populations with intrinsic and extrinsic noiseThe Journal of Mathematical Neuroscience - Tập 1 - Trang 1-28 - 2011
Paul C Bressloff, Yi Ming Lai
We extend the theory of noise-induced phase synchronization to the case of a
neural master equation describing the stochastic dynamics of an ensemble of
uncoupled neuronal population oscillators with intrinsic and extrinsic noise.
The master equation formulation of stochastic neurodynamics represents the state
of each population by the number of currently active neurons, and the state
transitions ... hiện toàn bộ
Monochromaticity of Orientation Maps in V1 Implies Minimum Variance for Hypercolumn SizeThe Journal of Mathematical Neuroscience - Tập 5 - Trang 1-19 - 2015
Alexandre Afgoustidis
In the primary visual cortex of many mammals, the processing of sensory
information involves recognizing stimuli orientations. The repartition of
preferred orientations of neurons in some areas is remarkable: a repetitive,
non-periodic, layout. This repetitive pattern is understood to be fundamental
for basic non-local aspects of vision, like the perception of contours, but
important questions rem... hiện toàn bộ
The geometry of rest–spike bistabilityThe Journal of Mathematical Neuroscience - Tập 10 - Trang 1-18 - 2020
Giuseppe Ilario Cirillo, Rodolphe Sepulchre
Morris–Lecar model is arguably the simplest dynamical model that retains both
the slow–fast geometry of excitable phase portraits and the physiological
interpretation of a conductance-based model. We augment this model with one slow
inward current to capture the additional property of bistability between a
resting state and a spiking limit cycle for a range of input current. The
resulting dynamica... hiện toàn bộ
Inhomogeneous Sparseness Leads to Dynamic Instability During Sequence Memory Recall in a Recurrent Neural Network ModelThe Journal of Mathematical Neuroscience - Tập 3 - Trang 1-23 - 2013
Daniel Medina, Christian Leibold
Theoretical models of associative memory generally assume most of their
parameters to be homogeneous across the network. Conversely, biological neural
networks exhibit high variability of structural as well as activity parameters.
In this paper, we extend the classical clipped learning rule by Willshaw to
networks with inhomogeneous sparseness, i.e., the number of active neurons may
vary across me... hiện toàn bộ
The dynamics underlying pseudo-plateau bursting in a pituitary cell modelThe Journal of Mathematical Neuroscience - Tập 1 - Trang 1-23 - 2011
Wondimu Teka, Joël Tabak, Theodore Vo, Martin Wechselberger, Richard Bertram
Pituitary cells of the anterior pituitary gland secrete hormones in response to
patterns of electrical activity. Several types of pituitary cells produce short
bursts of electrical activity which are more effective than single spikes in
evoking hormone release. These bursts, called pseudo-plateau bursts, are unlike
bursts studied mathematically in neurons (plateau bursting) and the standard
fast-s... hiện toàn bộ
Mathematical Frameworks for Oscillatory Network Dynamics in NeuroscienceThe Journal of Mathematical Neuroscience - Tập 6 - Trang 1-92 - 2016
Peter Ashwin, Stephen Coombes, Rachel Nicks
The tools of weakly coupled phase oscillator theory have had a profound impact
on the neuroscience community, providing insight into a variety of network
behaviours ranging from central pattern generation to synchronisation, as well
as predicting novel network states such as chimeras. However, there are many
instances where this theory is expected to break down, say in the presence of
strong coupl... hiện toàn bộ
Efficient calculation of heterogeneous non-equilibrium statistics in coupled firing-rate modelsThe Journal of Mathematical Neuroscience - Tập 9 - Trang 1-11 - 2019
Cheng Ly, Woodrow L. Shew, Andrea K. Barreiro
Understanding nervous system function requires careful study of transient
(non-equilibrium) neural response to rapidly changing, noisy input from the
outside world. Such neural response results from dynamic interactions among
multiple, heterogeneous brain regions. Realistic modeling of these large
networks requires enormous computational resources, especially when
high-dimensional parameter spaces... hiện toàn bộ
