#NeuralDynamics is a central subfield of #ComputationalNeuroscience studying timedependent #NeuralActivity and its governing #mathematics. It examines how #NeuralStates evolve, how stable or unstable patterns arise, and how #learning reshapes them. Neural dynamics forms the backbone for how #neurons & #NeuralNetworks generate complex activity over time. This post gives a brief overview of the field & its historical milestones:

Syeda, …, @computingnature et al., bioRxiv (2026) find that #NeuralActivity in #mouse #VisualCortex is dominated by #orofacial movements, not eye movements. Across darkness and visual stimulation, eye movements explain only a small fraction of neural variance and are largely correlated with whisking and sniffing. Movement signals thus strongly shape #V1 activity during free viewing.

🧠 New landmark study “A #brain-wide map of #NeuralActivity during complex #behaviour” by the #InternationalBrainLaboratory (Angelaki et al., 2025): >600,000 #neurons across 279 regions in 139 mice, unified across 12 labs with #Neuropixels probes.
#DecisionMaking isn’t confined to single hubs but distributed across the brain, incl. #sensory, #motor & #reward areas, showing how #cognitive processes emerge from brain-wide #dynamics.

Using our wearable Brite family #fNIRS systems, we measured prefrontal cortex activity in real-time. With OxySoft, we tracked changes in brain oxygenation, showcasing how fNIRS reveals neural activity effortlessly. At Artinis, we make optical imaging easy.

Pupil size can be used as an indicator of arousal, but how it relates to spontaneous and stimulus driven neural activity is not well understood. This study uncovers multiple timescales of pupil dynamics and characterizes their relationship to neural activity in mice.
In the current issue of Molecular Psychiatry, the ADNP protein image from our previous publication has been published.

Below is the link to the original article describing the functions of ADNP and 14-3-3epsilon on neuronal morphogenesis and neural connectivity during the development of the cortex.

Charles Micou & Timothy O'Leary discover that representational drift in #neuralactivity and physiological changes, observed over extended periods, suggests the continuous application of a #learningrule at the #cellular and #populationlevel. This phenomenon serves as a measurable signal to uncover system-level properties of biological #plasticity mechanisms, such as precision and effective #learningrates.
On Monday, there will be a talk on how to simulate a #connectome: discover the potential of connectivity measurements in predicting #neuralactivity and advancing our understanding of #neuralcircuits, by Srini Turaga:
