@embo.org Astrocyte has been a success. Our lab at @kcnhub.bsky.social contributed by three posters and one talk in a continuous endeavor to build a #biophysical #theory of the #brain that puts #tripartite neuron #astrocytes circuits at its core @kbi-uhn.bsky.social Thanks team & brilliant peers.

A man was destined for early Alzheimer’s — these genes might explain his escape

Scientists identify nine genetic variants that could have helped a man to avoid dementia for at least two decades longer than expected.

Cognitive networks interactions through communication subspaces in large-scale models of the neocortex

The neocortex-wide neural activity is organized into distinct networks of areas engaged in different cognitive processes. To elucidate the underlying mechanism of flexible network reconfiguration, we ...
