Presented in STATPHYS28 Satellite Meeting – Emergence in Biological Networks Abstract With increasing integration of artificial intelligence in our everyday life, the understanding and accountability of the solutions provided by machines are ever more important. This parallels the study of animal brains and biological neural networks. Instead of tracing out microscopic details of the neural…

Ching-I Huang, Chun-Chung Chen, Hsiu-Hau Lin Scientific Reports 12, Article number: 22403 (2022) DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-27102-0 Evolutionary dynamics is well captured by the replicator equations when the population is infinite and well-mixed. However, the extinction dynamics is modified with finite and structured populations. Experiments on the non-transitive ecosystem containing three populations of bacteria found that the…

Averkin, Gábor Tamás, Kazu Nakazawa, Cheng-Chang Lien Cell Reports 36, no. 11 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2021.109702 Modulation of hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) excitability regulates anxiety. In the DG, glutamatergic mossy cells (MCs) receive the excitatory drive from principal granule cells (GCs) and mediate the feedback…

Yi-Ling Chen, Chun-Chung Chen, Yu-Ying Mei, Ning Zhou, Dongchuan Wu, Ting-Kuo Lee https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.13300 Using miniscope recordings of calcium fluorescence signals in the CA1 region of the hippocampus of mice, we monitor the neural activity of hippocampal regions while the animals are freely moving in an open chamber. Using a data-driven statistical modeling approach, the statistical…

Ravi Kumar, Yu-Ting Huang, Chun-Chung Chen, Shun-Fen Tzeng, and Chi-Keung ChanCerebral Cortex Communications 1 (1): tgaa053 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1093/texcom/tgaa053. Synchronous bursting (SB) is ubiquitous in neuronal networks and independent of network structure. Although it is known to be driven by glutamatergic neurotransmissions, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Recent studies show that local glutamate recycle by astrocytes…
