1. Computational Approaches to the Degeneration of Brain Networks and Other Complex Networks
Abstract : Networks are ubiquitous with several levels of complexity, configuration, hierarchy and function. Many micro- and macro-scale biological or non-biological interactions define complex systems. READ MORE

2. Complement mediated synapse elimination in schizophrenia
Abstract : Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a devastating psychiatric disorder with a typically age of onset in late adolescence. The heritability is estimated to be in between 60-80% and large-scale genome-wide studies have revealed a prominent polygenic component to SCZ risk and identified more than three-hundred common risk variants.

3. Neural Mechanisms Determining Visuospatial Working Memory Tasks : Biophysical Modeling, Functional MRI and EEG
Abstract : Visuospatial working memory (vsWM) is the ability to temporarily retain goal-relevant visuospatial information in memory. It is a key cognitive function related to general intelligence, and it improves throughout childhood and through WM training. READ MORE

4. Computational Modelling and Topological Analysis of the striatal microcircuitry in health and Parkinson's disease
Abstract : The basal ganglia are evolutionary conserved nuclei located at the base of the forebrain. They are a central hub in the control of motion and their dysfunctions lead to a variety of movement related disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD).The largest nucleus and main input stage of the basal ganglia is the striatum.

5. Spontaneous Movements during Sleep Guide Spinal Self-organization: Formation and Expression of a Memory Trace
Abstract : During development, information about the three-dimensional shape and mechanical properties of the body is laid down in the synaptic connectivity of sensorimotor systems through adaptive mechanisms. In spinal reflex systems, this enables the fast transformation of complex sensory information into adequate correction of movements. READ MORE
