Computational Neuroscience: In-Depth Description

Computational neuroscience relies heavily on dynamical systems theory, information theory, and advanced mathematics to quantify biological processes.

Neurons in the primary visual cortex follow highly specific organizational and functional rules to integrate sensory data, determining which of their thousands of synaptic inputs will be used to process visual information.

Visual Cortex Neuronal Processing Rules

Discover the specific rules primary visual cortex neurons follow to organize synaptic inputs and accurately process visual information in the brain.

Despite their role in highly complex brain networks, individual neurons primarily operate as simple on-off switches governed by basic, one-input-to-one-output interactions.

Behold the neuron, a complicated cell with a simple mission

A new Yale study reveals individual neurons operate primarily as simple on-off switches, fundamentally driving complex brain networks and functions.

Welcome to the latest edition of the "What Is" series, presented by the Scientific Frontline publication. In this research report, we delve into one of the most ambitious, technologically demanding, and philosophically profound frontiers in modern biological science: Connectomics.

What Is: Connectomics

Connectomics operates on the staggering hypothesis that human identity and mental pathology are physically encoded in our unique neural wiring.

We're hiring for a project on #SpikingNeuralNetworks and #neuromorphic computing, to start in October this year, for 36 months. Can hire at pre- or post-PhD level. Feel free to email me informally, or apply at the link below. Please do share with your networks if you know someone who would be interested.

If you're interested in doing a 2 year Schmidt "AI in science" postdoc fellowship in neuroscience/AI stuff with me starting in July or Oct 2027 take a look at this and get in touch soon. We've had a lot of luck recently getting these fellowships.
