Shared texture-like representations, not global form, underlie deep neural network alignment with human visual processing Open
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are a leading computational framework for understanding neural visual processing. A standard approach for evaluating their similarity to brain function uses DNN activations to predict human neural responses to t…
Scene segmentation processes drive EEG-DCNN alignment Open
Visual processing in biological and artificial neural networks has been extensively studied through the lens of object recognition. While deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) have demonstrated hierarchical feature extraction similar …
Human Visual Cortex and Deep Convolutional Neural Network Care Deeply about Object Background Open
Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) are able to partially predict brain activity during object categorization tasks, but factors contributing to this predictive power are not fully understood. Our study aimed to investigate the fact…
Variance analysis as a method to predict the locus of plasticity at populations of non-uniform synapses Open
Our knowledge on synaptic transmission in the central nervous system has often been obtained by evoking synaptic responses to populations of synapses. Analysis of the variance in synaptic responses can be applied as a method to predict whe…

A critical test of deep convolutional neural networks’ ability to capture recurrent processing using visual masking. Open
Recurrent processing is a crucial feature in human visual processing supporting perceptual grouping, figure-ground segmentation, and recognition under challenging conditions. Most researchers agree on a need to incorporate recurrent proces…
Calcium signaling in individual APP/PS1 mouse dentate gyrus astrocytes increases <i>ex vivo</i> with Aβ pathology and age without affecting astrocyte network activity Open
Astrocytes are critical for healthy brain function. In Alzheimer’s disease, astrocytes become reactive, which affects their signaling properties. Here, we measured spontaneous calcium transients ex vivo in hippocampal astrocytes in brain s…

Interaction of Cortical and Amygdalar Synaptic Input Modulates the Window of Opportunity for Information Processing in the Rhinal Cortices Open
The perirhinal (PER) and lateral entorhinal (LEC) cortex function as a gateway for information transmission between (sub)cortical areas and the hippocampus. It is hypothesized that the amygdala, a key structure in emotion processing, can m…
Parvalbumin interneuron mediated feedforward inhibition controls signal output in the deep layers of the perirhinal‐entorhinal cortex Open
The perirhinal (PER) and lateral entorhinal (LEC) cortex form an anatomical link between the neocortex and the hippocampus. However, neocortical activity is transmitted through the PER and LEC to the hippocampus with a low probability, sug…
Distinct Spatiotemporal Activation Patterns of the Perirhinal-Entorhinal Network in Response to Cortical and Amygdala Input Open
The perirhinal (PER) and entorhinal cortex (EC) receive input from the agranular insular cortex (AiP) and the subcortical lateral amygdala (LA) and the main output area is the hippocampus. Information transfer through the PER/EC network ho…
Carbamazepine modulates the spatiotemporal activity in the dentate gyrus of rats and pharmacoresistant humans in vitro Open
Introduction Human hippocampal tissue resected from pharmacoresistant epilepsy patients was investigated to study the effect of the antiepileptic drug CBZ (carbamazepine) and was compared to similar experiments in the hippocampus of contro…
