Regularly spiking neurons can be described as oscillators. In this article we review some of
the insights gained from this conceptualization and their relevance for systems …

Almost seventy years after the discovery of the mechanisms of action potential generation,
some aspects of their computational consequences are still not fully understood. Based on …

Efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for motor signs of Parkinson's disease (PD)
depends in part on post-operative programming of stimulus parameters. There is a need for …

Synchronous neural oscillations are found throughout the brain and are thought to
contribute to neural coding and the propagation of activity. Several proposed mechanisms of …

The brain has to analyze and respond to external events that can change rapidly from time
to time, suggesting that information processing by the brain may be essentially dynamic …

Phase resetting curves (PRCs) provide a measure of the sensitivity of oscillators to
perturbations. In a noisy environment, these curves are themselves very noisy. Using …

Synchronization plays an important role in neural signal processing and transmission. Many
hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin of neural synchronization. In recent …

Synchronous spiking during cerebellar tasks has been observed across Purkinje cells:
however, little is known about the intrinsic cellular mechanisms responsible for its initiation …

We used phase resetting methods to predict firing patterns of rat subthalamic nucleus (STN)
neurons when their rhythmic firing was densely perturbed by noise. We applied sequences …

Phase-resetting properties of neurons determine their functionality as integrators (type 1) vs.
resonators (type 2), as well as their synchronization tendencies. We introduce a novel, bias …
