The role of cannabinoids in the neurobiology of sensory gating: a firing rate model study (2006)
Journal Article
Zachariou, M., Dissanayake, D., Owen, M. R., Mason, R., & Coombes, S. The role of cannabinoids in the neurobiology of sensory gating: a firing rate model study. Neurocomputing, 70(10/12), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2006.10.065

Gating of sensory (e.g. auditory) information has been demonstrated as a reduction in the auditory-evoked potential responses recorded in the brain of both normal animals and human subjects. Auditory gating is perturbed in schizophrenic patients and... Read More about The role of cannabinoids in the neurobiology of sensory gating: a firing rate model study.

Spatio-temporal filtering properties of a dendritic cable with active spines: A modeling study in the spike-diffuse-spike framework (2006)
Journal Article
Timofeeva, Y., Lord, G., & Coombes, S. (2006). Spatio-temporal filtering properties of a dendritic cable with active spines: A modeling study in the spike-diffuse-spike framework. Journal of Computational Neuroscience, 21(3), 293-306. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10827-006-8776-4

The spike-diffuse-spike (SDS) model describes a passive dendritic tree with active dendritic spines. Spine-head dynamics is modeled with a simple integrate-and-fire process, whilst communication between spines is mediated by the cable equation. In th...
