- At the Bernstein Conference 2024, Jeremie Lefebvre and I organized a workshop on the computational consequences of neural heterogeneity. Now, slightly more than a year later, we funneled the emerging discussions into a perspective piece: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...
- It's a fundamental question of neuroscience how brain function emerges from its diverse networks of neurons. One contribution to this question is to characterize neurons in terms of their electrophysiology, morphology, etc., including the relationships between those properties.
