An advantage of chaotic neural dynamics

Conference Proceeding
Andras, P., & Lycett, S. (2007)
An advantage of chaotic neural dynamics. In 2007 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (1417-1422). https://doi.org/10.1109/IJCNN.2007.4371166
One hypothesis about how biological neural systems work suggests that they use attractor dynamics to define their behaviour. Such behaviour can be modelled using recurrent neu...

The language of cortical dynamics

Conference Proceeding
Andras, P. (2006)
The language of cortical dynamics. In Computational Life Sciences II: Second International Symposium, CompLife 2006, Cambridge, UK, September 27-29, 2006. Proceedings (247-256). https://doi.org/10.1007/11875741_24
Cortical dynamics can be recorded in various ways. Theoretical works suggest that analyzing the dynamics of recorded activities might reveal the workings of the underlying neu...

Journal Article
Lythgow, K. T., Hudson, G., Andras, P., & Chinnery, P. F. (2011)
A critical analysis of the combined usage of protein localization prediction methods: Increasing the number of independent data sets can reduce the accuracy of predicted mitochondrial localization. Mitochondrion, 11(3), 444-449. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mito.2010.12.016
In the absence of a comprehensive experimentally derived mitochondrial proteome, several bioinformatic approaches have been developed to aid the identification of novel mitoch...

Where do successful populations originate from?

Journal Article
Andras, P., & Stanton, A. (2021)
Where do successful populations originate from?. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 524, Article 110734. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2021.110734
In order to understand the dynamics of emergence and spreading of socio-technical innovations and population moves it is important to determine the place of origin of these po...

A model of endocannabinoid 2-AG-mediated depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition

Journal Article
Fox, D., & Andras, P. (2010)
A model of endocannabinoid 2-AG-mediated depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition. BMC Neuroscience, 11, Article P189 (2010). https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2202-11-S1-P189
Depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition (DSI) is known to be mediated by the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). It's calcium-dependent production and subs...
