Loss of Motor Cortical Inputs to the Red Nucleus after CNS Disorders in Nonhuman Primates

The premotor (PM) and primary motor (M1) cortical areas broadcast voluntary motor commands through multiple neuronal pathways, including the corticorubral projection that reaches the red nucleus (RN). However, the respective contribution of M1 and PM to co ...

Neuromodulatory organization in the developing rat somatosensory cortex

Henry Markram, Srikanth Ramaswamy, Armando Romani, Cristina Colangelo, Alberto Antonietti, Joni Henrikki Herttuainen

The vast majority of cortical synapses are found in the neuropil which is implicated in multiple and diverse functions underlying brain computation. Unraveling the organizing principles of the cortical neuropil requires an intricate characterization of syn ...

Mesoscopic description of hippocampal replay and metastability in spiking neural networks with short-term plasticity

Tilo Schwalger, Valentin Marc Schmutz

Bottom-up models of functionally relevant patterns of neural activity provide an explicit link between neuronal dynamics and computation. A prime example of functional activity patterns are propagating bursts of place-cell activities called hippocampal rep ...

Taming neuronal noise with large networks

Valentin Marc Schmutz

How does reliable computation emerge from networks of noisy neurons? While individual neurons are intrinsically noisy, the collective dynamics of populations of neurons taken as a whole can be almost deterministic, supporting the hypothesis that, in the br ...

Synthesis of branching morphologies

Henry Markram, Lida Kanari

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for generating model neurons. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a plurality of descriptions of branches of dendrites of one or more neurons and gener ...

An efficient analytical reduction of detailed nonlinear neuron models

Felix Schürmann, Pramod Shivaji Kumbhar, Michael Emiel Gevaert, Oren Amsalem, Idan Segev, Guy Eyal

Detailed conductance-based nonlinear neuron models consisting of thousands of synapses are key for understanding of the computational properties of single neurons and large neuronal networks, and for interpreting experimental results. Simulations of these ...

A VTA to Basal Amygdala Dopamine Projection Contributes to Signal Salient Somatosensory Events during Fear Learning

Ralf Schneggenburger, Olexiy Kochubey, Wei Tang, Michael Kintscher

The amygdala is a brain area critical for the formation of fear memories. However, the nature of the teaching signal(s) that drive plasticity in the amygdala are still under debate. Here, we use optogenetic methods to investigate the contribution of ventra ...

Mapping of real-time morphological changes in the neuronal cytoskeleton with label-free wide-field second-harmonic imaging: a case study of nocodazole

Sylvie Roke, Carlos Alberto Macias Romero, Pascal Jourdain, Marie Eve Pascale Didier, Claire Jacqueline Léa Teulon

We demonstrate the use of wide-field high-throughput second-harmonic (SH) microscopy for investigating cytoskeletal morphological changes on the single-cell level. The method allows for real-time, in vitro, label-free measurements of cytoskeletal changes t ...

A Cell Atlas for the Mouse Brain

Henry Markram, Daniel Keller, Marc-Oliver Gewaltig

Despite vast numbers of studies of stained cells in the mouse brain, no current brain atlas provides region-by-region neuron counts. In fact, neuron numbers are only available for about 4% of brain of regions and estimates often vary by as much as 3-fold. ...

Validation strategies for the interpretation of microstructure imaging using diffusion MRI

Giorgio Innocenti, Tim Bjørn Dyrby

Extracting microanatomical information beyond the image resolution of MRI would provide valuable tools for diagnostics and neuroscientific research. A number of mathematical models already suggest microstructural interpretations of diffusion MRI (dMRI) dat ...
