Synapses are the central information processors in the brain. Their function, efficacy and plasticity are key determinants of all brain functions, and of the corresponding behavioral output. Conversely, aberrant synapse function is the cause of many neurological and psychiatric disorders. Our ultimate objective is to generate a functional virtual synapse, in silico, that covers both the presynaptic and postsynaptic compartments.
