  • Nima Dehghani PhD. MD.

    Note: Nima has moved to Allen Discovery Center and will update info at some point in the near future.

    Nima Dehghani is a Computational/Theoretical Neuroscientist. After his medical training, as a research fellow at the MIT/HMS/MGH Martinos center and then at the UCSD Multimodal Imaging Lab & MGH Cortical Neurophysiology Lab, he worked on multimodal investigation and electromagnetic source localization of sleep rhythms and thalamocortical oscillations.  His work at Unite de Neurosciences, Information et Complexite (UNIC) of Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), was on spectral dynamics of MEG/EEG, assessment of self-organized criticality in invasive ensemble recordings, and analyzing network properties of excitation/inhibition in micro-circuitry of the cerebral cortex. At the Wyss Institute, and lately at New England Complex Systems Institute and MIT Physics he uses multimodal techniques in conjunction with the theoretical implications of bioelectromagnetism, multiscale interaction, and complex systems to characterize the dynamic patterns of neuro-signals obtained from miniaturized high-throughput microdevices and large-scale recordings. He aims to use the theoretical perspective of of cellular biophysics, network control and neuronal ensemble dynamics in design of bio-inspired intelligence.

    MPFNeuro Bright & cheerful, these cortical neurons from our Fitzpatrick lab remind us of holiday lights! Layer 4 neurons expressing GCamp6 (green), co-stained for interneuron subclasses PV (blue), VIP (red) & SST (orange) via RNAScope. Happy Holidays from everyone at MPFI! t.co/4utkHe1uzR

    quorumetrix I’ve made this video as an intuition pump for the density of #synapses in the #brain. This volume ~ grain of sand, has >3.2 million synapses (orange cubes). Peeling them away leaves only inputs on 2 #neurons. Zooming in, we see the synapses localized to the dendritic spines. #b3d t.co/3GL0l3b67F

    neurovium 🤦🏽 sheer stupidity Can "you guys" believe that "American" is now a bad word? This is "insane". Perhaps @Stanford students can be "brave", walk away from this debilitating wokeism, "walk-in" the president's office, demand that "chairman" resign. "Kill two birds with one stone"! t.co/G4VxqrbJ3y
