Estebanez L, El Boustani S, Destexhe A, Shulz D
Med Sci (Paris) . 2014 Jan; 30(1):93-8. PMID: 24472465
The rodent whisker system became one of the main system models for the study of the functional properties of sensory neurons. This is due on one hand to the detailed...

Estebanez L, El Boustani S, Destexhe A, Shulz D
Nat Neurosci . 2012 Nov; 15(12):1691-9. PMID: 23160042
As in other sensory modalities, one function of the somatosensory system is to detect coherence and contrast in the environment. To investigate the neural bases of these computations, we applied...

El Boustani S, Yger P, Fregnac Y, Destexhe A
J Neurosci . 2012 Jan; 32(1):194-214. PMID: 22219282
The mammalian cerebral cortex is characterized in vivo by irregular spontaneous activity, but how this ongoing dynamics affects signal processing and learning remains unknown. The associative plasticity rules demonstrated in...

Yger P, El Boustani S, Destexhe A, Fregnac Y
J Comput Neurosci . 2011 Jan; 31(2):229-45. PMID: 21222148
The relationship between the dynamics of neural networks and their patterns of connectivity is far from clear, despite its importance for understanding functional properties. Here, we have studied sparsely-connected networks...

El Boustani S, Marre O, Behuret S, Baudot P, Yger P, Bal T, et al.
PLoS Comput Biol . 2009 Sep; 5(9):e1000519. PMID: 19779556
Various types of neural-based signals, such as EEG, local field potentials and intracellular synaptic potentials, integrate multiple sources of activity distributed across large assemblies. They have in common a power-law...

El Boustani S, Destexhe A
Neural Comput . 2009 Feb; 21(1):46-100. PMID: 19210171
Many efforts have been devoted to modeling asynchronous irregular (AI) activity states, which resemble the complex activity states seen in the cerebral cortex of awake animals. Most of models have...

El Boustani S, Pospischil M, Rudolph-Lilith M, Destexhe A
J Physiol Paris . 2007 Nov; 101(1-3):99-109. PMID: 18023562
In awake animals, the cerebral cortex displays an "activated" state, with distinct characteristics compared to other states like slow-wave sleep or anesthesia. These characteristics include a sustained depolarized membrane potential...

Brette R, Rudolph M, Carnevale T, Hines M, Beeman D, Bower J, et al.
J Comput Neurosci . 2007 Jul; 23(3):349-98. PMID: 17629781
We review different aspects of the simulation of spiking neural networks. We start by reviewing the different types of simulation strategies and algorithms that are currently implemented. We next review...

El Boustani S, Buenzli P, Martin P
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys . 2006 Apr; 73(3 Pt 2):036113. PMID: 16605604
We provide an exact microscopic statistical treatment of particle and field correlations in a system of quantum charges in equilibrium with a classical radiation field. Using the Feynman-Kac-Itô representation of...
