The mathematical modeling of extended brain microcircuits is becoming an effective tool to simulate the neurophysiological correlates of brain activity while opening new perspectives in understanding the mechanisms underlying brain dysfunctions. The generation of realistic networks is however experiencing limitations due to the strategy adopted to build network connectivity and also to the...
TU Dresden has recently completed the construction of the world’s largest brain-inspired supercomputer „SpiNNcloud“, which will allow the real-time simulation of up to 5 billion neurons. It is based on the neuromorphic “SpiNNaker2” chip featuring 152 low-power ARM cores and digital accelerators to speed up the processing of spiking and deep neural networks. The overall system comprises a...
To navigate a noisy and dynamic environment, the brain must form reliable representations from ambiguous sensory inputs. Since only information that successfully propagates through cortical hierarchies can influence perception and decision-making, preserving signal fidelity across processing stages is essential. This work investigates whether topographic maps — characterized by...
Astroglia, or astrocytes, are a major class of glial cells in the central nervous system. Long considered passive support elements, they are now widely recognized as active and essential components of neural processing. Astroglia engage in complex, bidirectional communication with neurons [1], responding to neuronal input and modulating synaptic activity through diverse molecular and cellular...
