New Review Article: A Dendro-Centric View of Cognition in the Behaving Brain
We’re diving deep into the world of dendritic computation, the cornerstone of modern neuroscience and the future of AI. Read our review of how active dendrites drive and shape everything from local spikes to complex memories and behavior.

The countdown is on! We are just days away from the submission deadline for DENDRITES 2026. If you haven’t submitted your abstract yet, now is the time to join the conversation: Submission deadline is February 1st. https://meetings.embo.org/event/26-dendrites
DendroTweaks, an interactive approach for unraveling dendritic dynamics
We are excited to share that our paper on the DendroTweaks toolbox is now published in eLife: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.103324.3. We developed this toolbox to make detailed biophysical neuronal models more intuitive and interactive. DendroTweaks offers a rich set of tools for working with neuronal morphologies, ion channels, and synaptic inputs. It is available as both a standalone […]
IMBB Seminar: Dr. Joao Barbosa on Region-specific transformations enable distributed computations of flexible decisions

Computing with interneurons!
An exciting collaborative study where our lab provided modelling insights is out in Neuron. The study entitled “Cell-Specific Dendritic Integration in Cortical GABAergic Interneurons,” reveals that PV- and SST-expressing interneurons process information in fundamentally different ways. SST interneurons show supralinear integration and uniform synaptic distribution, supporting broad temporal integration and sustained activity. In contrast, PV interneurons exhibit sublinear integration and denser […]
