Our latest  work with MIT colleagues was featured in the Picower Institute's News Website. Read it here.

A new study adds evidence that electric fields in the brain help to organize and shape underlying neural activity via “ephaptic coupling.” You can access the MIT Picower news piece and paper here. Abstract below:

 The waxing and waning cortical oscillatory power correla...

In a recent Biological Psychiatry paper with UCL and other colleagues, we found that reduced pyramidal cell excitability is present at baseline in clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR) converters, consistent with the hypothesis that hypofunction of pyramidal cells is a primary pathol...

How does the brain processes information?
This remains one of neuroscience’s most fascinating challenges.
A growing body of research suggests that the cortex functions as a predictive system—constantly generating models to anticipate incoming input. But the story isn’t that simple.
Multiple frameworks...

New paper explains how the dynamics of neurons, fields and their interactions shift in depression.  This is  motivated by the cytoelectric coupling hypothesis, which suggests that efficient information processing results from mesoscale electric fields and that the re-emergence of depr...
