Hippocampal functions are responsible for encoding spatial and temporal dimensions of episodic memory, and hippocampal reactivation of previous awake experiences in sleep is important for learning and memory consolidation. Therefore, uncovering neural representations of hippocampal ensemble spike activity during various behavioral states would provide improved understanding of neural mechanisms of...
Parametric models have been widely used to estimate conditional intensity functions of neuronal spike train point processes and are efficient to construct from experimental data. Furthermore, parametric models are easy to interpret. However, neurons that have more complex receptive fields may not be sufficiently characterized through parametric modeling since it imposes strict structure on the encoding...
Rodent hippocampal population codes represent important spatial information of the environment during navigation. Several computational methods have been developed to uncover the neural representation of spatial topology embedded in rodent hippocampal ensemble spike activity. Here we extend our previous work and propose a nonparametric Bayesian approach to infer rat hippocampal population codes. Specifically,...
Neural decoding is an important approach for extracting information from population codes. We previously proposed a novel transductive neural decoding paradigm and applied it to reconstruct the rat's position during navigation based on unsorted rat hippocampal ensemble spiking activity. Here, we investigate several important technical issues of this new paradigm using one data set of one animal. Several...
Understanding the way in which groups of cortical neurons change their individual and mutual firing activity during the induction of general anesthesia may improve the safe usage of many anesthetic agents. Assessing neuronal interactions within cell assemblies during anesthesia may be useful for understanding the neural mechanisms of general anesthesia. Here, a point process generalized linear model...
Point process generalized linear models (GLMs) have been widely used for neural spike trains analysis. Statistical inference for GLMs include maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation. Variational Bayesian (VB) methods provide a computationally appealing means to infer the posterior density of unknown parameters, in which conjugate priors are designed for the regression coefficients in logistic and...
EEG and LFP activity reflect the dynamic and organized interactions of neural ensembles; therefore, it may be possible to use the features of brain rhythms to determine the computational state of a neuronal network. When neuronal networks are activated, physical principles predict that the frequency content of the field potential should reflect the network state, per se, and ergo the state transition...
The stochastic state point process filter (SSPPF) and steepest descent point process filter (SDPPF) are adaptive filter algorithms for state estimation from point process observations that have been used to track neural receptive field plasticity and to decode the representations of biological signals in ensemble neural spiking activity. The SSPPF and SDPPF are constructed using, respectively, Gaussian...
