To make predictions or models of in vivo data, one need large-scale simulations of spiking neuronal network mimicking the emerging properties at the network level.
Neurons are modifying the synapses between them as a function of their joint activities. Understanding the molecular processes and the computational consequences of such plasticity is crucial to unravel how the brain can adapt.
If you want to test/benchmark your own spike-sorting algorithm, we just released a large portion of some ground-truth recordings performed with mice retina. You can check this out on Zenodo,...
