Criticality, Connectivity, and Neural Disorder: A Multifaceted Approach to Neural Computation
Heiney, Kristine; Huse Ramstad, Ola; Fiskum, Vegard; Christiansen, Nicholas; Sandvig, Axel; Nichele, Stefano; Sandvig, Ioanna (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)It has been hypothesized that the brain optimizes its capacity for computation by self-organizing to a critical point. The dynamical state of criticality is achieved by striking a balance such that activity can effectively ... -
Monte Carlo simulations to probe gel-nanoparticle interfaces using restricted polymers to mimic surface topologies
Christiansen, Nicholas (Master thesis, 2018)The use of silica nanoparticles as an adhesive mediator in hydrogels and suturing of wounds, has been of interest. This thesis investigates the mode of interaction between nanoparticles and a polymer network interface, ... -
Selective inhibition of excitatory synaptic transmission alters the emergent bursting dynamics of in vitro neural networks
Weir, Janelle Shari; Christiansen, Nicholas; Sandvig, Axel; Sandvig, Ioanna (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023) -
Self-organized Criticality in engineered in vitro networks; A balance of excitation and inhibition
Jordbræk, Sondre valentin (Master thesis, 2021)The emergence of critical dynamics has been associated with the balance of excitation to inhibition (E/I). The aim of this thesis was to explore the relationship of E/I balance with emergence of critical dynamics, stability ... -
Structural Effects on the Computational Capacity of Neural Networks
Bjugn, Isak Kyrre Lichtwarck (Master thesis, 2020)Måten nevroner er forbundet til hverandre har stor påvirkning på et nevralt nettverks evne til å utføre beregninger. Akkurat slike beregninger er sentrale for funksjonen til sentralnervesystemet, og er en global egenskap ...
