Does striatum support competitive dynamics? A test of this hypothesis using a biologically realistic model of the striatal microcircuit (2009)

Wood, R., Humphries, M., Gurney, K.

The striatum is the man input structure of the basal ganglia and consists principally of medium spiny neurons (MSNs). The remaining neurons comprise several species of interneuron, including the...

What does a neuron ''see''? Limitations imposed by the statistics of afferent inputs to a neuron (2009)

Humphries, M.

Neurons encode information in their spike trains. In a range of neural systems, every spike train and potentially each spike is supremely important [1], so important that, given appropriate input,...

Cortico-striatal plasticity for action-outcome learning using spike timing dependent eligibility (2009)

Gurney, K., Humphries, M., Redgrave, P.

We recently proposed that short-latency, sensory-evoked dopamine release is critical for learning action-outcome causality [1]. If an action causes an unexpected outcome associated with a phasic...

Reduced models of striatal neurons: dopamine modulation and dynamics (2009)

Humphries, M., Lepora, N., Wood, R., Gurney, K.

Loss of dopamine cells in Parkinson's Disease and its animal models leads to profound motor deficits. An intact dopamine system also seems to be critical for many forms of learning [1]. Much work on...

Frequency Doubled CO2 Laser Induced Decomposition of Carbonyl Compounds: Cyclobutanone (1984)

Mei-Kuen Au, P. A. Hackett, M. Humphries, P. John

This paper reports the first use of radiation derived from a TEA carbon dioxide laser by nonlinear upshifting techniques (second harmonic generation) in initiating multiphoton absorption and...
