HIGHLIGHTSRipleyGUITo facilitate the quantification of neuronal cell patterns, researchers have developed RipleyGUI, a MATLAB-based software that can be used to detect patterns in the 3D distribution of cells. Computational models of astrocyte-neuron couplingIn Frontiers of Computational Neuroscience, researchers discuss how a better understanding of astrocyte-neuron coupling may lead to providing building blocks for studying the regulatory capability of astrocytic networks on a larger scale, through nine papers which cover a range of issues from computational models of astrocyte-neuron interactions to the role of astrocytes in neurological disorders. Nonlinear multiplicative dendritic integration in neuron and network modelsIn Frontiers of Computational Neuroscience, researchers suggest a new biophysical motivated derivation of a single compartment model that integrates the non-linear effects of shunting inhibition, where an inhibitory input on the route of an excitatory input to the soma cancels or “shunts” the excitatory potential. INCF SUPPORTING PARTNERSINCF receives contributions from our member countries, based on gross domestic expenditures on research and development. Karolinska Institutet and the Royal Institute of Technology are the host institutions of INCF. Further support is also received from the Swedish Research Council,
