The impact of homeostatic inhibitory plasticity in a generative biophysical model A main characteristic of biological systems is their capacity to dynamically adapt to environmental changes. In the brain, synaptic plasticity enables the strengthening or weakening of connections bet...

📄Very happy to share our new pre-print!! 🧠

We introduce a homeostatic inhibitory plasticity rule into the Dynamic Mean Field (DMF) model which stabilizes firing rates and expands the model’s dynamical repertoire—for example, enabling slow-wave activity.

Hi Anton, we add a link to the repo, we did it in python with Jupyter notebooks, all in our personal computers, no need to use clusters or HPC.

💊🧠 How do sleep and general anaesthesia reshape brain dynamics?

In our new paper, we bridge molecular pharmacology and whole-brain modeling using biophysically grounded simulations.
