Abstract:

Physical variability of speech combined with its perceptual constancy make speech recognition a challenging task. The human auditory brain, however, is able to perform speech recognition effortlessly. This thesis aims to understand the precise computational mechanisms that allow the auditory brain to do so. In particular, we look for the minimal subset of sub-cortical auditory brain areas that allow the primary auditory cortex to learn 'good representations' of speech-like auditory objects through spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) learning mechanisms as described by Bi & Poo (1998).

Abstract:

Head direction cells signal the orientation of the head in the horizontal plane. This thesis shows how some of the known head direction cell response properties might develop through learning. The research methodology employed is the computer simulation of neural network models of head direction cells that self-organize through learning. The preferred firing directions of head direction cells will change in response to the manipulation of distal visual cues, but not in response to the manipulation of proximal visual cues. Simulation results are presented of neural network models that learn to

La mémoire épisodique est souvent illustrée par la madeleine de Proust comme la capacité à revivre une situation du passé suite à la perception d'un stimulus. Ce scénario simpliste ne doit pas mener à penser que la mémoire opère en isolation des autres fonctions cognitives. Au contraire, la mémoire traite des informations hautement transformées et est elle-même modulée par les fonctions exécutives pour informer la prise de décision. Ces interactions complexes donnent lieu à des fonctions cognitives supérieures comme la capacité à imaginer de futures séquences d'événements potentielles en combi

Abstract:

Neural responses in the primate ventral visual system become more complex in the later stages of the pathway. For example, not only do neurons in IT cortex respond to complete objects, they also learn to respond invariantly with respect to the viewing angle of an object and also with respect to the location of an object. These types of neural responses have helped guide past research with VisNet, a computational model of the primate ventral visual pathway that self-organises during learning. In particular, previous research has focussed on presenting to the model one object at a time during tr

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of signaling proteins in animals and represent the largest family of druggable targets in the human genome. Therefore, it is of no surprise that the molecular mechanisms of GPCR activation and signal transduction have attracted close attention for the past few decades. Several stabilizing interactions within the GPCR transmembrane (TM) domain helices regulate receptor activation. An example is a salt bridge between 2 highly conserved amino acids at the bottom of TM3 and TM6 that has been characterized for a large number of GPCRs. Throu

In this thesis we discuss the synchronization of stochastic population oscillators in ecology and neuroscience. Traditionally, the synchronization of oscillators has been studied in deterministic systems with various modes of synchrony induced by coupling between the oscillators. However, recent developments have shown that an ensemble of uncoupled oscillators can be synchronized by a common noise source alone. By considering the eﬀects of noise-induced synchronization on biological oscillators, we are able to explain various biological phenomena in ecological and neurobiological contexts - mo

Abstract:

Sparse coding is an influential unsupervised learning approach proposed as a theoretical model of the encoding process in the primary visual cortex (V1). While sparse coding has been successful in explaining classical receptive field properties of simple cells, it was unclear whether it can account for more complex response properties in a variety of cell types. In this dissertation, we demonstrate that sparse coding and its variants are consistent with key aspects of neural response in V1, including many contextual and nonlinear effects, a number of inhibitory interneuron properties, as wel

We then examine the potential of the differences found in the static networks and the emergent properties of the dynamic network as individual

New memories are labile, but over time some of them are stabilized. This thesis investigates the network mechanisms in the brain underlying the gradual consolidation of memory representations. Specifically, I performed a causal test of the long-standing hypothesis that the offline reactivation of new, memory-representing cell assemblies supports memory consolidation by stabilizing those assemblies and increasing the likelihood of their later reinstatement - and therefore presumably of memory recall.

Abstract:

The proper functioning of nervous systems requires electrical activity to be tightly regulated. Perturbations in the intrinsic properties of neurons, and in excitatory input, are imposed throughout nervous system development as cell morphology and network activity evolve. In mature nervous systems these changes continue as a result of synaptic plasticity and external stimuli. It is therefore likely that homeostatic mechanisms exist to regulate membrane conductances that determine the excitability of individual neurons, and several mechanisms have been characterised to date.

The dynamics of biological neural networks are of great interest to neuroscientists and are frequently studied using conductance-based compartmental neuron models.

However, such effects are not yet well understood.

Azimuth sound localization in many animals relies on the processing of differences in time-of-arrival of the low-frequency sounds at both ears: the interaural time differences (ITD).

Yet, this variation is often discarded, as humans and animals are assumed to be insensitive to it. The purpose of this thesis is to assess this dependency using acoustical techniques, and explore the consequences of this additional complexity on the neurophysiology and psychophysics of sound localization.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates a set of non-classical visual receptive field properties observed in the primate brain. Two main phenomena were explored. The first phenomenon was neurons with head-centered visual receptive fields, in which a neuron responds maximally to a visual stimulus in the same head-centered location across all eye positions. The second phenomenon was perisaccadic receptive field dynamics, which involves a range of experimentally observed response behaviours of an eye-centered neuron associated with the advent of a saccade that relocates the neuron's receptive field.
