A biophysical network model reveals the link between deficient inhibitory cognitive control and major neurotransmitter and neural connectivity hypotheses in schizophrenia
We address a biophysical network dynamical model to study how the modulation of dopamine (DA) activity and related N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor activity as well as the emerging Pre-Frontal Cortex (PFC) functional connectivity network (FCN) affect inhibitory cognitive function in schizophrenia in an antisaccade task. The values of the model parameters and the topology of the PFC-FCN were estimated by minimizing the differences between simulations and the observed distributions of reaction times (RT) during the performance of the antisaccade task in 30 patients with schizophrenia and 30 healthy controls. We show that the proposed model approximates remarkably well the predicted prefrontal cortical DA hypo-activity and the related NMDA receptor hypo-function as well as the FCN dysconnection pattern that are considered as the major etio-pathological hypotheses to explain cognitive deficits in schizophrenia.

Model of the Songbird Nucleus HVC as a Network of Central Pattern Generators
We propose a functional architecture of the adult songbird nucleus HVC in which the core element is a "functional syllable unit" (FSU). In this model, HVC is organized into FSUs, each of which provides the basis for the …
Dynamics of stochastic integrate-and-fire networks
The neural dynamics generating sensory, motor, and cognitive functions are commonly understood through field theories for neural population activity. Classic neural field theories are derived from highly simplified model…
System Identification with Biophysical Constraints: A Circuit Model of the Inner Retina
Visual processing in the retina has been studied in great detail at all levels such that a comprehensive picture of the retina's cell types and the many neural circuits they form is emerging. However, the currently best …
BlockingA causal inference approach of monosynapses from spike trains
Neuroscientists have worked on the problem of estimating synaptic properties, such as connectivity and strength, from simultaneously recorded spike trains since the 1960s. Recent years have seen renewed interest in the p…
