Two-compartment neuronal spiking model expressing brain-state specific apical-amplification, -isolation and -drive regimes

no code implementations10 Nov 2023 Elena Pastorelli, Alper Yegenoglu, Nicole Kolodziej, Willem Wybo, Francesco Simula, Sandra Diaz, Johan Frederik Storm, Pier Stanislao Paolucci

Mounting experimental evidence suggests that brain-state-specific neural mechanisms, supported by connectomic architectures, play a crucial role in integrating past and contextual knowledge with the current, incoming flow of evidence (e. g., from sensory systems).

Runtime Construction of Large-Scale Spiking Neuronal Network Models on GPU Devices

no code implementations16 Jun 2023 Bruno Golosio, Jose Villamar, Gianmarco Tiddia, Elena Pastorelli, Jonas Stapmanns, Viviana Fanti, Pier Stanislao Paolucci, Abigail Morrison, Johanna Senk

Simulation speed matters for neuroscientific research: this includes not only how quickly the simulated model time of a large-scale spiking neuronal network progresses, but also how long it takes to instantiate the network model in computer memory.

Beyond spiking networks: the computational advantages of dendritic amplification and input segregation

1 code implementation4 Nov 2022 Cristiano Capone, Cosimo Lupo, Paolo Muratore, Pier Stanislao Paolucci

Recent works have proposed that segregation of dendritic input (neurons receive sensory information and higher-order feedback in segregated compartments) and generation of high-frequency bursts of spikes would support error backpropagation in biological neurons.

Towards biologically plausible Dreaming and Planning in recurrent spiking networks

1 code implementation20 May 2022 Cristiano Capone, Pier Stanislao Paolucci

We propose a two-module (agent and model) spiking neural network in which "dreaming" (living new experiences in a model-based simulated environment) significantly boosts learning.

Autonomous Driving Model-based Reinforcement Learning +2

Error-based or target-based? A unifying framework for learning in recurrent spiking networks

no code implementations2 Sep 2021 Cristiano Capone, Paolo Muratore, Pier Stanislao Paolucci

Finally, we show that our theoretical formulation suggests protocols to deduce the structure of learning feedback in biological networks.

Simulations Approaching Data: Cortical Slow Waves in Inferred Models of the Whole Hemisphere of Mouse

2 code implementations15 Apr 2021 Cristiano Capone, Chiara De Luca, Giulia De Bonis, Robin Gutzen, Irene Bernava, Elena Pastorelli, Francesco Simula, Cosimo Lupo, Leonardo Tonielli, Anna Letizia Allegra Mascaro, Francesco Resta, Francesco Pavone, Micheal Denker, Pier Stanislao Paolucci

The model is capable to reproduce most of the features of the non-stationary and non-linear dynamics displayed by the high-resolution recording of the in-vivo mouse brain obtained by wide-field calcium imaging techniques.

Fast simulations of highly-connected spiking cortical models using GPUs

no code implementations28 Jul 2020 Bruno Golosio, Gianmarco Tiddia, Chiara De Luca, Elena Pastorelli, Francesco Simula, Pier Stanislao Paolucci

In this work we evaluate the performance of this library on the simulation of a cortical microcircuit model, based on LIF neurons and current-based synapses, and on a balanced network of excitatory and inhibitory neurons, using AdEx neurons and conductance-based synapses.

Thalamo-cortical spiking model of incremental learning combining perception, context and NREM-sleep-mediated noise-resilience

no code implementations26 Mar 2020 Bruno Golosio, Chiara De Luca, Cristiano Capone, Elena Pastorelli, Giovanni Stegel, Gianmarco Tiddia, Giulia De Bonis, Pier Stanislao Paolucci

The brain exhibits capabilities of fast incremental learning from few noisy examples, as well as the ability to associate similar memories in autonomously-created categories and to combine contextual hints with sensory perceptions.

Incremental Learning

Target spiking patterns enable efficient and biologically plausible learning for complex temporal tasks

no code implementations13 Feb 2020 Paolo Muratore, Cristiano Capone, Pier Stanislao Paolucci

We propose a novel target-based learning scheme in which the learning rule derived from likelihood maximization is used to mimic a specific spiking pattern that encodes the solution to complex temporal tasks.

Scaling of a large-scale simulation of synchronous slow-wave and asynchronous awake-like activity of a cortical model with long-range interconnections

no code implementations22 Feb 2019 Elena Pastorelli, Cristiano Capone, Francesco Simula, Maria V. Sanchez-Vives, Paolo del Giudice, Maurizio Mattia, Pier Stanislao Paolucci

Cortical synapse organization supports a range of dynamic states on multiple spatial and temporal scales, from synchronous slow wave activity (SWA), characteristic of deep sleep or anesthesia, to fluctuating, asynchronous activity during wakefulness (AW).

Slow Waves Analysis Pipeline for extracting the Features of the Bi-Modality from the Cerebral Cortex of Anesthetized Mice

1 code implementation22 Feb 2019 Giulia De Bonis, Miguel Dasilva, Antonio Pazienti, Maria V. Sanchez-Vives, Maurizio Mattia, Pier Stanislao Paolucci

Cortical slow oscillations are an emergent property of the cortical network, a hallmark of low complexity brain states like sleep, and represent a default activity pattern.

Analysis and Model of Cortical Slow Waves Acquired with Optical Techniques

1 code implementation28 Nov 2018 Marco Celotto, Chiara De Luca, Paolo Muratore, Francesco Resta, Anna Letizia Allegra Mascaro, Francesco Saverio Pavone, Giulia De Bonis, Pier Stanislao Paolucci

Here we combined wide-field fluorescence microscopy and a transgenic mouse model expressing a calcium indicator (GCaMP6f) in excitatory neurons to study SW propagation over the meso-scale under ketamine anesthesia.

We measured the impact of long-range exponentially decaying intra-areal lateral connectivity on the scaling and memory occupation of a distributed spiking neural network simulator compared to that of short-range Gaussian decays.

Furthermore, EURETILE investigates and implements the innovations for equipping the elementary HW tile with high-bandwidth, low-latency brain-like inter-tile communication emulating 3 levels of connection hierarchy, namely neural columns, cortical areas and cortex, and develops a dedicated cortical simulation benchmark: DPSNN-STDP (Distributed Polychronous Spiking Neural Net with synaptic Spiking Time Dependent Plasticity).
