Computations in neurons and neuronal networks

My research team utilizes computational and theoretical tools to study how neurons compute and dynamically adapt to our ever-changing environment. Recently we worked in an endeavor to model a whole piece of the mammalian cortex with the ultimate goal to unravel how local fine variations within the cortical network underlie specific behavioral function and may give rise to certain brain diseases or to a healthy and 'individual' brain.
