In the Press: Medical Xpress highlights our impactful research on memory linking

We are excited to share our latest research highlighted in Medical Xpress. Our collaborative work with Alcino Silva at UCLA, led by the brilliant Megha Seghal at Ohio State University sheds new light on the mechanisms of memory linking, which remained a mystery for years. The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, reveals that localized dendritic plasticity […]

Dendritic Plasticity: A Key Mechanism in Memory Integration

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience sheds light on the critical role of dendritic plasticity in linking memories.  Researchers found that when two events occur close in time, the brain tends to link them together using specific dendritic mechanisms.  This research demonstrates that linked memories activate the same dendritic segments and that new spine […]

Towards a More Sustainable Future for AI

Our latest publication demonstrates how incorporating the structure and sampling characteristics of dendrites into Artificial Neural Networks can lead to more efficient, powerful, and energy-saving AI systems. Specifically, a new type of dendritic ANNs can discriminate images accurately and robustly while using much fewer parameters. This new architecture has the potential to revolutionize various fields, from healthcare to […]

Dr. Poirazi discussed about biophysical modeling and dendrites on the Theoretical Neuroscience Podcast!

Dr. Yiota Poirazi was recently invited to an interview on the Theoretical Neuroscience Podcast hosted by Gaute Einevoll on July 16th, 2024. In this episode (Podcast #17: On Dendritic Function), Dr. Poirazi discusses her research on dendrites, their function, and their role in AI. The conversation delves into the complexities of how neurons process information […]

NEUREKA’s Drug Discovery Advancements Featured on CORDIS

Dr. Yiota Poirazi has been the coordinator of the EIC Pathfinder project, NEUREKA. NEUREKA is now featured on the CORDIS website of the European Commission in the ‘Results in Brief’ section! This publication highlights the NEUREKA’s Consortium work on intelligent drug discovery using hybrid neural computing devices. NEUREKA’s innovative system combines living neurons with a […]
