We are very pleased to announce the 4th International Workshop On
Neurodynamics (NDy'26) to be held in Castro-Urdiales, Spain, May 26-29,
2026

http://cody.unizar.es/events/neurodynamics26/

Deadline extended to 15th March

Half a Century of the Kuramoto Model: Explaining Emergent Order in Time and Space 2026

Finally published with David Angulo Garcia:

A theory for self-sustained balanced states in absence of strong external currents
@PLOS

Dynamical balance can be obtained via nonlinear mechanisms without the need of strong external drive: short term depression act as a new balancing mechanism. The complete theory is here reported.

An open access paper :

Gamma oscillatory complexity conveys behavioral information in hippocampal networks with V Douchamps, M di Volo, D Battaglia and R Goutagny
Nat Comm 15, 1849 (2024)

Our findings challenge the idea of rigid gamma sub-bands, showing that behavior shapes ensembles of irregular gamma elements that evolve with learning and depend on hippocampal layers

Gamma oscillatory complexity conveys behavioral information in hippocampal networks - Nature Communications

Specific gamma frequency oscillations are supposed to differentially route information within the hippocampal formation. Here, the authors show that while hippocampal gamma oscillations are more diverse than previously reported, this variability is modulated by behavior and learning.

Nature

Neuronal dynamics can be #balanced
without the need of strong external currents, as usually assumed, here with A. Politi we explain how this can work thanks to #short term #depression (open access article 2024)
