A Framework to Determine Active Connectivity within the Mouse Brain

PLoS Biology, 2025

We develop a computational framework for inferring active functional connectivity from large-scale neural recordings, linking anatomical structure to dynamic brain states.

Realistic coupling enables flexible macroscopic traveling waves in the mouse cortex

eLife, 2025

We show that realistic long-range connectivity in the mouse cortex gives rise to flexible macroscopic traveling waves, using large-scale simulations that couple neuronal dynamics with projection-based connectome data.

BDNF-TrkB signaling orchestrates the buildup process for local sleep

Cell Reports, 2024

We identify the BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway as a key molecular mechanism orchestrating the homeostatic buildup of local sleep pressure, combining experimental data with mathematical modeling.
