Research Summary
I am involved in a study that uses detailed simulations of neuronal models to
study the potential for neurons to be reliable signaling devices. We use a
multicompartmental biophysical model of several reconstructed CA1 cells that
implement dynamic stochastic glutamatergic synapses to gain insights about how
hippocampal cells can fire with precision, in spite of unreliable synapses.
