Inferring connection proximity in networks of electrically coupled cells by subthreshold frequency response analysis

Henry Markram, Thomas Berger, Michele Giugliano, Corrado Cali, Michele Pignatelli

Electrical synapses continuously transfer signals bi-directionally from one cell to another, directly or indirectly via intermediate cells. Electrical synapses are common in many brain structures such as the inferior olive, the subcoeruleus nucleus and the ...

The somatodendritic endosomal regulator NEEP21 facilitates axonal targeting of L1/NgCAM

Harald Hirling

Correct targeting of proteins to axons and dendrites is crucial for neuronal function. We showed previously that axonal accumulation of the cell adhesion molecule L1/neuron-glia cell adhesion molecule (NgCAM) depends on endocytosis (Wisco, D., E.D. Anderso ...

CMOS programmable asynchronous neighborhood mechanism for WTM kohonen neural network

Rafal Tomasz Dlugosz

A new programmable neighborhood mechanism for the Winner Takes Most (WTM) self-organizing Kohonen map has been proposed in this paper. Described circuit is an asynchronous solution, which does not require the controlling clock generator. The winning neuron ...

Disynaptic inhibition between neocortical pyramidal cells mediated by Martinotti cells

Henry Markram, Gilad Silberberg

Reliable activation of inhibitory pathways is essential for maintaining the balance between excitation and inhibition during cortical activity. Little is known, however, about the activation of these pathways at the level of the local neocortical microcirc ...

Chronic activation in presymptomatic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mice of a feedback loop involving Fas, Daxx, and FasL

Patrick Aebischer

The reasons for the cellular specificity and slow progression of motoneuron diseases such as ALS are still poorly understood. We previously described a motoneuron-specific cell death pathway downstream of the Fas death receptor, in which synthesis of nitri ...

Robust self-localisation and navigation based on hippocampal place cells

Wulfram Gerstner, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Thomas Strösslin

A computational model of the hippocampal function in spatial learning is presented. A spatial representation is incrementally acquired during exploration. Visual and self-motion information is fed into a network of rate-coded neurons. A consistent and stab ...

Spatial Representation and Navigation in a Bio-inspired Robot

Wulfram Gerstner, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Thomas Strösslin

A biologically inspired computational model of rodent repre-sentation?based (locale) navigation is presented. The model combines visual input in the form of realistic two dimensional grey-scale images and odometer signals to drive the firing of simulated p ...

Short-term-plasticity orchestrates the response of pyramidal cells and interneurons to population bursts

Wulfram Gerstner, Henry Markram, Gilad Silberberg

The synaptic drive from neuronal populations varies considerably over short time scales. Such changes in the presynaptic rate trigger many temporal processes absent under steady-state conditions. This paper examines the differential impact of pyramidal cel ...

From Wheels to Wings with Evolutionary Spiking Neurons

Dario Floreano, Jean-Daniel Nicoud, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

We give an overview of the EPFL indoor flying project, whose goal is to evolve neural controllers for autonomous, adaptive, indoor micro-flyers. Indoor flight is still a challenge because it requires miniaturization, energy efficiency, and control of non-l ...

Interaction of sensory responses with spontaneous depolarization in layer 2/3 barrel cortex

Carl Petersen

The rodent primary somatosensory cortex is spontaneously active in the form of locally synchronous membrane depolarizations (UP states) separated by quiescent hyperpolarized periods (DOWN states) both under anesthesia and during quiet wakefulness. In vivo ...
