Frontiers in Immunology paper

We present a computational model that elucidates the interplay between inflammation, serotonin levels, and brain activity. The model delineates how inflammation impacts extracellular serotonin, while cerebral activity reciprocally influences serotonin concentration. Understanding the reciprocal inte...

It is unclear whether quantum phenomena can be observed in brain recordings because of thermal noise causing decoherence, that is, quantum superpositions and entanglement quickly collapsing into classical, i.e. non-quantum states. In our new paper we demonstrate that neuronal noise of the Brownian m...

New paper in Nature Communications:  In collaboration with MIT colleagues, we showed that bodily and environmental factors act as partial drivers of healthy or abnormal brain dynamics.  We used DCM to dissociate input vs network effects and identify brain connectivity changes as a result o...

In a new paper in Cerebral Cortex, we show that to produce a memory neurons need to coordinate, similarly to musicians in an orchestra who want to play a song. For neurons, coordination is achieved via the electric field they collectively produce. Read also the MIT news piece here.
