When synaptic #plasticity depends on more than spike timing alone, the #ClopathRule offers a biologically plausible model incorporating postsynaptic voltage dynamics. This voltage based #STDP model captures #synaptic change features such as frequency dependence and homeostatic stabilization making it useful for simulating #learning and #memory in #NeuralNetworks. Here's a brief introduction to that rule and its applications in #CompNeuro:

Using diverse tools to keep your #mental #plasticity and #creativity are important regardless of the #career path you follow and even more important where #thinking out of/ #without the #box is required whether in professional, social or domestic situations.

@MaFu55 #CX3CR1 deficiency enhances microglial reactivity while limiting GB cell migration, and CSF1R inhibition also constrains #tumor microtube #plasticity. Together, the data place #microglia directly in the control of #glioblastoma invasion dynamics.

Huge congrats to Felix and all co-authors! 🥳

🧠 New paper from the @MaFu55 lab! 🥳

Felix shows that #microglia shape #glioblastoma invasion at the far infiltration zone. Using in vivo #3photon #imaging, he finds dynamic microglial responses, and shows that microglial manipulation reduces GB migration and limits #tumormicrotube #plasticity.

@DenisMeuthen , PI of the @idealab , contributed to an opinion paper 📜 in Trends in Ecology and Evolution ( @[email protected] ) . In this paper, we hypothesize that niche processes (niche choice, niche construction, niche conformance) and epigenetic variation are causally and bidirectionally linked. Studying this bidirectional causal relationship will deepen our understanding of the proximate mechanisms underlying individualization and elucidate how epigenetic variation arises, persists, and contributes to evolution.
