Here is a direct follow-up on this, now showing how to implement #GapJunctions in a network of #spiking #neurons (#SNN) using the #NESTsimulator. We simulate a network of 500 inhibitory neurons with gap junctions and analyze the effects on #synchrony and #oscillations. The code is also available on GitHub. Feel free to modify and expand upon it 🤗

📝 New blog post: #GapJunctions (#ElectricalSynapses) enable direct electrical and chemical communication between #neurons, synchronizing activity and supporting rapid signal propagation. Their #modeling is crucial for understanding #NeuralNetworkDynamics, #oscillations, and #brain 🧠 function. Here is a brief summary including a small #PythonTutorial using the #NESTsimulator.

Gap junctions allow transfer of small molecules between cells. This study shows that #GapJunctions allow the exchange of metabolites between germ cells & somatic cells to promote germline growth during #Drosophila #oogenesis #plosbiology https://plos.io/3CYrZwu

Inhibition of #GapJunctions can stimulate new #feather bud formation in specific topological positions in developing #ChickenSkin explants, as predicted by math simulations of consecutive waves of #Turing instabilities #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3V2caLm

Zwei Gruppen von der @humboldtuni und der @unimainz beschreiben einen neu entdeckten Mechanismus zur Steuerung des #Flügel-Schlags bei #Insekten – inklusive der wichtigen Rolle, die #GapJunctions dabei spielen …
