We study the flow of electrical currents in spherical cells with a non-conducting core, so that current flow is restricted to a thin shell below the cell’s membrane. Examples of such cells are fat storing cells (adipocytes). We derive the relation be... Read More about Electro-physiology Models of Cells with Spherical Geometry with Non-conducting Center.

Energy efficient synaptic plasticity (2020)
Journal Article
Li, H. L., & van Rossum, M. C. (2020). Energy efficient synaptic plasticity. eLife, 9, Article e50804. https://doi.org/10.7554/elife.50804

Many aspects of the brain's design can be understood as the result of evolutionary drive towards metabolic efficiency. In addition to the energetic costs of neural computation and transmission, experimental evidence indicates that synaptic plasticity... Read More about Energy efficient synaptic plasticity.
