Computational neuroscience employs mathematical modelling, statistical inference and large-scale simulation to reveal how nervous systems encode information, generate behaviour and adapt through ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

A new study finds surprising parallels between Freud’s theories of the mind and modern neuroscience, suggesting the brain may ...

Functionally analogous to biological generative models, these traveling waves allow the brain to infer sensory causes, ...

Scientists have developed the largest and most detailed computational models of rat hippocampal and somatosensory cortex regions to date. They have released these models and the tools for their use to ...

Students with a focus in computational neuroscience will work in close collaboration with faculty on multidisciplinary research projects combining experimental and computational strategies.

From left to right and bottom to top, experts Josep M. Canals (head of the European project VISI-ON-BRAIN), Albert Giralt, Andrea Faedo and Daniel del Toro; Henrik Ahlenius, Marco Straccia, Nicholas ...

The hippocampus is one of the most fascinating brain regions. Associated with the formation of memories, it also helps us to navigate through the world without getting lost. Sensory cortices on the ...
