To encourage interdisciplinary interactions, the main meeting is arranged in a single track. A set of invited talks are selected by the Executive Committee and Organizing Commit- tee, and additional talks and posters are selected by the Program Committee, based on submitted abstracts. Cosyne topics include (but are not limited to): neural basis of behavior, sensory and motor systems, circuitry, learning, neural coding, natural scene statistics, dendritic computation, neural basis of persistent activity, nonlinear receptive field mapping, representations of time and sequence, reward systems, decision-making, synaptic plasticity, map formation and plasticity, population coding, attention, and computation with spiking networks. Participants include pure experimentalists, pure theorists, and everything in between.

  • Robust Rhythmogenesis Via Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity

The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder, who has granted bioRxiv a license to display the preprint in perpetuity. It is made available under aCC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license. Robust Rhythmogenesis via Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity Gabi Socolovsky1, 2, ∗ and Maoz Shamir1, 2, 3 1Department of Physics, Faculty of Natural Sciences, 2Zlotowski Center for Neuroscience, 3Department of Physiology and Cell Biology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Be'er-Sheva, Israel (Dated: March 31, 2021) Rhythmic activity has been observed in numerous animal species ranging from insects to humans, and in relation to a wide range of cognitive tasks. Various experimental and theoretical studies have investigated rhythmic activity. The theoretical efforts have mainly been focused on the neuronal dynamics, under the assumption that network connectivity satisfies certain fine-tuning conditions required to generate oscillations. However, it remains unclear how this fine tuning is achieved. Here we investigated the hypothesis that spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) can provide the underlying mechanism for tuning synaptic connectivity to generate rhythmic activity. We addressed this question in a modeling study. We examined STDP dynamics in the framework of a network of excitatory and inhibitory neuronal populations that has been suggested to underlie the generation of oscillations in the gamma range. Mean field Fokker Planck equations for the synaptic weights dynamics are derived in the limit of slow learning. We drew on this approximation to determine which types of STDP rules drive the system to exhibit rhythmic activity, and demonstrate how the parameters that characterize the plasticity rule govern the rhythmic activity.

  • Towards Biologically Plausible Gradient Descent by Jordan
    Towards biologically plausible gradient descent by Jordan Guerguiev A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Cell and Systems Biology University of Toronto c Copyright 2021 by Jordan Guerguiev Abstract Towards biologically plausible gradient descent Jordan Guerguiev Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Cell and Systems Biology University of Toronto 2021 Synaptic plasticity is the primary physiological mechanism underlying learning in the brain. It is de- pendent on pre- and post-synaptic neuronal activities, and can be mediated by neuromodulatory signals. However, to date, computational models of learning that are based on pre- and post-synaptic activity and/or global neuromodulatory reward signals for plasticity have not been able to learn complex tasks that animals are capable of. In the machine learning field, neural network models with many layers of computations trained using gradient descent have been highly successful in learning difficult tasks with near-human level performance. To date, it remains unclear how gradient descent could be implemented in neural circuits with many layers of synaptic connections. The overarching goal of this thesis is to develop theories for how the unique properties of neurons can be leveraged to enable gradient descent in deep circuits and allow them to learn complex tasks. The work in this thesis is divided into three projects. The first project demonstrates that networks of cortical pyramidal neurons, which have segregated apical dendrites and exhibit bursting behavior driven by dendritic plateau potentials, can in theory leverage these physiological properties to approximate gradient descent through multiple layers of synaptic connections.

    Biophysical Studies of the Effect of MreB Mutants on Cell Stiffness in Escherischa Coli Master Thesis in Nanosciences Benjamin Banusch (B.Sc.) [email protected] November 30th, 2013 Supervisor: Prof. Joshua Shaevitz Department of Physics and Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrated Genomics Princeton University, USA Home Advisor: Prof. Thomas Pfohl Department of Chemistry, Institute for Physical Chemistry University of Basel, CH Abstract As part of the fundamental question of how bacterial shape can be obtained and what proteins are involved, bending experiments on E.coli bacteria with mutations in mreB were conducted to provide answers to open questions in terms of the function of MreB in pepti- doglycan (PG) biosyntheses. Coloborators at Stanford [59] discovered MreB mutants which differ in cell width and investigations were con- ducted to measure if the mechanical properties of the cell wall and MreB bundles were different in these mutants. Using a bending cell assay consisting of optical tweezers and microfluidic channels, we re- peat former experiments by Siuyan Wang [3] to prove the influennce of MreB bundles on the mechanical property of the cell. Resulting values for the flexural reigidity (EI), cell width in M9 media and elastic mod- uli could be provided and it was shown that MreB contributes 8-20% to the overall cell stiffness, depending on differences in MreB. Also, pre- cice cell width measurements, using the basics for a 3D fluorescence microscopy technique [19], were measured and correlated with existing flexural rigidities of MreB mutants. Results show a clear cell radius de- pendency of the bending stiffness with EI / R3 and provide evidence for a single MreB function.

It alone can unite humility with boldness so as to allow us to penetrate to the heart of things ...” Alexander Grothendieck (From “Reaping and Sowing”) It has been a great privilege for me to helm ICTS these last two plus years, and to build on the strong foundations set by Spenta Wadia, the founding director. In this period, ICTS has grown from the close intimacy of our temporary garden home in IISc to something more akin to the expansive shade of a banyan tree in our new campus at Shivakote. Nevertheless, we continually strive to ‘renovate the quest’, trying to retain the innocence of all new beginnings. In fact, it is hard to believe that we are now in the tenth year of our existence – ready to step into adolescence in the second decade of our explorations.
