Paradoxical responses, in which excitatory perturbations of inhibitory neurons reduce their firing rates, are widely regarded as a hallmark of inhibition-stabilized networks (ISNs) and have been obser...

Excitatory synaptic scaling regulates network dynamics by proportionally adjusting excitatory synaptic strengths after sensory perturbations. During associative learning, blocking excitatory scaling i...

Too many scientists are willing to collaborate with Trumpism in the mistaken assumption that obedience will save their own necks.

Spiking Neural networks as Universal Function Approximators

Neuronal assemblies — groups of strongly connected neurons — are considered the basic building blocks of perception and memory in the brain by encoding representations of specific concepts. Despite re...

Grassroots organizations, led by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, are stepping up to provide neuroscience career training and guidance for students from marginalized backgrounds—and…

Individual researchers and university leaders need to make the case for science to their elected representatives and to the public at large.

The Schroeder Lab at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich explores how neural circuits transform internal drives such as hunger, emotion, and curiosity into action.
