Topic: neocortical networks

Sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) are thought to play a crucial role in memory consolidation, learning, and the formation of long-term memories by facilitating the transfer of information from the hippocampus to neocortical networks. To understand the mechanisms governing SWRs, we have developed a closed-loop stimulation framework tailored for the real-time detection and suppression of SWRs, leveraging the ONIX electrophysiology acquisition system and BONSAI-RX acquisition software. As part of our Bonsai package, we developed a convolutional neural network (CNN) for detection of SWRs recorded with lam
