The prominent and colorful neuroscientist Valentino Braitenberg was born 100 years ago. He co-founded the Max Planck Institute of Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen in Germany, where he made seminal contributions to neur
A bursting neuron can maintain its firing-pattern identity throughout an animal's life, even though the ion-channel proteins underlying this identity are turned over on the timescale of days. Today's guest has proposed t
Most neural network models till date have assumed all neurons to be identical, or at least that all neurons within a population are identical. In reality, no two neurons are completely the same. Is this due to unavoidabl
Fruit flies need a short-term (working) memory to keep their direction when they navigate their way to the fruit by smelling. Mean-field ring models was theoretically suggested to encode stimulus orientations 30 years an
Starting with the work of pioneers like Wilson and Cowan in the 1970s, mean‑field models have become a dominant tool for modeling neural activity at the level of neuronal populations. Despite their popularity, most mean‑
While some models aim to explain qualitative features of brain activity, other aim to reproduce experimental data quantitatively. If so, model parameters must be adjusted to make the model predictions fit the experimenta
Reproducibility is key for scientific progress. If research results cannot be reproduced and trusted, other researchers cannot build on them. Reproducibility is a challenge also in computational neuroscience, and today's
Historically, the analysis of neural recordings focused on responses of single neurons recorded by single-contact electrodes. Modern electrodes with multiple electrode contacts can instead record spikes (action potential
Neurons need particular sodium and potassium concentration gradients across their membranes to function. These gradients are set up by so-called ion pumps which require energy stored in ATP molecules to run. ATP is the c
An important discovery that has come out of computational neuroscience, is that cortical neurons in vivo appear to receive so-called balanced inputs. In the balanced state the excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs to
How can computational neuroscience contribute to developing neurotechnology to help people with brain disorders and disabilities? This was the topic of a panel debate I hosted at the 34th Annual Computational Neuroscienc
In an adversarial collaboration researchers with opposing theories jointly investigate a disputed topic by designing and implementing a study in a mutually agreed unbiased way. Results from adversarial testing of two wel
A promise of basic neuroscience research is that the new insights will lead to new cures for brain diseases. But has that happened so far? Today's guest, an accomplished professor of neuroscience, decided to investigate.
Synaptic plasticity underlies several key brain functions including learning, information filtering and homeostatic regulation of overall neural activity. While several mathematical rules have been developed for plastici
Computational neuroscientists rely on simplification when they make their models. But what is the right level of simplification? When should we, for example, use a biophysically detailed model and when a simplified abstr
A future computational neuroscience project could be to model not only the signal processing properties of neurons, but also all processes that keep a neuron alive for, say, a 100-year life span. In 2012 the group of the
Numerous neuron models have been made, but most of them are "single-purpose" in that they are made to address a single scientific question. In contrast, multipurpose neuron models are made to be used to address many scie
With modern electrical and optical measurement techniques, we can now measure neural activity in hundreds or thousands of neurons simultaneously. This allows for the investigation of population codes, that is, of how gro
The observed variety of dendritic structures in the brains is striking. Why are they so different, and what determine the branching patterns? Following the dictum "if you understand it, you can build it", the lab of the
The term "foundation model" refers to machine learning models that are trained on vast datasets and can be applied to a wide range of situations. The large language model GPT-4 is an example. The group of the guest has r
