Journal ArticleDOI

Brain rhythms and neural syntax: implications for efficient coding of cognitive content and neuropsychiatric disease.

TL;DR: Findings from animal studies showing that most forms of brain rhythms are inhibition-based are reviewed, producing rhythmic volleys of inhibitory inputs to principal cell populations, thereby providing alternating temporal windows of relatively reduced and enhanced excitability in neuronal networks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Internal Dynamics Determine the Cortical Response to Thalamic Stimulation

TL;DR: Cal calcium imaging of mouse thalamocortical slices is used to reconstruct the spatiotemporal dynamics of activity of layer 4 in the presence or absence of thalamic stimulation and finds spontaneous neuronal coactivations corresponded to intracellular UP states.
Journal ArticleDOI

SLM Microscopy: Scanless Two-Photon Imaging and Photostimulation with Spatial Light Modulators.

TL;DR: A “scanless” microscope that uses a diffractive spatial light modulator (SLM) to shape an incoming two-photon laser beam into any arbitrary light pattern, which allows the simultaneous imaging or photostimulation of different regions of a sample with three-dimensional precision.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modular Propagation of Epileptiform Activity: Evidence for an Inhibitory Veto in Neocortex

TL;DR: It is proposed that the interneurons that supply the vetoing inhibition define these modular circuit territories and epileptiform events progress in intermittent steps across the cortical network.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spike Inference from Calcium Imaging Using Sequential Monte Carlo Methods

TL;DR: In this paper, a particle filter based on biophysical models of spiking, calcium dynamics, and fluorescence is proposed to infer when within a frame each spike occurs, using both simulations and in vitro fluorescence observations.
