Abstract While temporal preparation has frequently been examined through the manipulation of foreperiods, the role of force level during temporal preparation remains underexplored. In our study, we propose to manipulate mental training of attentional control in order to shed light on the role of the force level and autonomic nervous system in the temporal preparation […]

Characterizing the connectomic and morphological diversity of thalamic neurons is key for better understanding how the thalamus relays sensory inputs to the cortex. The recent public release of complete single-neuron morphological reconstructions enables the analysis of previously inaccessible connectivity patterns from individual neurons. Here we focus on the Ventral Posteromedial (VPM) nucleus and characterize the […]

The aim of this work was to enhance the biological feasibility of a deep convolutional neural network-based in-silico model of neurodegeneration of the visual system by equipping it with a mechanism to simulate neuroplasticity. Therefore, deep convolutional networks of multiple sizes were trained for object recognition tasks and progressively lesioned to simulate neurodegeneration of the […]
