Adaptation is important for seizures!
We just published our work about human seizures on pre-print. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/05/02/312561 The long story short, seizures are unpleasant and might even cause death. But how exactly they work in the human brain still has many questions after decades of research. In our work we propose a simple model to explain some aspects of seizure dynamics in the human brain. Usually we think of epileptic seizure as a swing, where on one side there is excitation a
What is so special about human cortex?
We did a thing!
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/05/02/312298 Here is the pre-print of our work comparing mouse and human neurons. It might seem that we are very similar with other mammals, we all have 6 layer cortex responsible for our psyche. But if the basic cortical architecture is the same in us and other mammals, what makes us special? This question is complicated and has many answers. We worked hard to get one of them. In this work we looked into the single
