Sampling effects and measurement overlap can bias the inference of neuronal avalanches

Authors Pinheiro Neto J, Spitzner FP, Priesemann V Journal PLoS Computational Biology Citation PLoS Comput Biol 18(11): e1010678. Abstract To date, it is still impossible to sample the entire mammalian brain with single-neuron precision. This forces one to either use spikes (focusing on few neurons) or to use coarse-sampled activity

Simple Model for Encoding Natural Images by Retinal Ganglion Cells with Nonlinear Spatial Integration

Authors Liu JK, Karamanlis D, Gollisch T Journal PLoS Computational Biology Citation PLoS Comput Biol. 2022 Mar 8;18(3):e1009925. Abstract A central goal in sensory neuroscience is to understand the neuronal signal processing involved in the encoding of natural stimuli. A critical step towards this goal is the development of successful
