It is often assumed that cellular and synaptic properties need to be regulated to specific
values to allow a neuronal network to function properly. To determine how tightly neuronal …

Conventionally, the parameters of neuronal models are hand-tuned using trial-and-error
searches to produce a desired behavior. Here, we present an alternative approach. We have …

The dynamic clamp uses computer simulation to introduce artificial membrane or synaptic
conductances into biological neurons and to create hybrid circuits of real and model neurons. …

Individual neurons display characteristic firing patterns determined by the number and kind
of ion channels in their membranes. We describe experimental and computational studies …

Which features of network output are well preserved during growth of the nervous system and
across different preparations of the same size? To address this issue, we characterized the …

This book will track advances in the application of phase response (PR) analysis to the study
of electrically excitable cells, focusing on applications of PR analysis in the computational …

We studied the effect of synaptic inputs of different amplitude and duration on neural oscillators
by simulating synaptic conductance pulses in a bursting conductance-based pacemaker …

Neurons, and realistic models of neurons, typically express several different types of voltage-gated
conductances. These conductances are subject to continual regulation. Therefore it is …

In recent years, the field of neuroscience has gone through rapid experimental advances
and a significant increase in the use of quantitative and computational methods. This growth …
