Achievements

  • developed novel mathematical methods using stochastic differential equations to model neural functions,
  • proposed new theoretical framework to assess how neuronal morphology influences neuronal connectivity,
  • evaluated and benchmarked neural simulation software for the benefit of the research community,
  • proposed guidelines and good practices for modeling neuron-glia interactions in the brain, based on our detailed characterization of models,
  • shown for the first time that taurine, an important neuromodulator shaping development of synaptic neurotransmission, is an agonist for GABAA receptor-ion channel, and
  • become core members, through competitive call, in the European Union’s H2020 Future Emerging Technology (FET) Human Brain Project to develop future neuroscience infrastructure.
