Connectivity reflects coding: a model of voltage-based STDP with homeostasis
<28> The encoding of information in the brain using neuronal spike trains is not yet fully understood. We used a multi-scale computational model and data from neuronal electrophysiology to provide the first concrete evidence that different brain areas use different communication codes (rate-based or spike time-based), suggesting that brain connectivity and coding are strongly related. Follow up work includes collaboration with the University of Antwerp and a funded multi-site EU FP7 ITN consortium NAMASEN. The work is foundational with 129 Google Scholar citations. Nature Neuroscience is a leading outlet for neuroscience. (IF 15.531, rank 4/244 in neurosciences).
