From lamprey to salamander: an exploratory modeling study on the architecture of the spinal locomotor networks in the salamander

The evolutionary transition from water to land required new locomotor modes and corresponding adjustments of the spinal "central pattern generators" for locomotion. Salamanders resemble the first terrestrial tetrapods and represent a key animal for the stu ...

Short-term ionic plasticity at GABAergic synapses

Henry Markram

Fast synaptic inhibition in the brain is mediated by the pre-synaptic release of the neurotransmitter γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA)and the post-synaptic activation of GABA-sensitive ionotropic receptors. As with excitatory synapses, it is being increasinly ap ...

Analysis of Neuronal Microcircuits in L2/3 of Mouse Barrel Cortex

Michael Avermann

Neocortical microcircuits are thought to contribute importantly to the sophisticated processing abilities of the mammalian brain. Neurons within the neocortex communicate with each other through releasing the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate or the in ...

Membrane potential dynamics of GABAergic neurons in the barrel cortex of behaving mice

Carl Petersen, Michael Avermann, Ferenc Mátyás

Computations in cortical circuits are mediated by synaptic interactions between excitatory and inhibitory neurons, and yet we know little about their activity in awake animals. Here, through single and dual whole-cell recordings combined with two-photon mi ...

Direct in vivo measurement of glycine and the neurochemical profile in the rat medulla oblongata

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Giulio Gambarota

The medulla oblongata (MO) contains a high density of glycinergic synapses and a particularly high concentration of glycine The aims of this study were to measure directly in vivo the neurochemical profile, including glycine, in MO using a spin-echo-based ...

Targeted overexpression of the parkin substrate Pael-R in the nigrostriatal system of adult rats to model Parkinson's disease

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Jean-Charles Bensadoun, Julien Dusonchet

Loss of function of parkin, an ubiquitin ligase, is responsible for autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (AR-JP). Parkin-associated endothelin receptor-like receptor (Pael-R) was identified as an authentic substrate of parkin and is thought to accumul ...

Comprehensive spatiotemporal transcriptomic analyses of the ganglionic eminences demonstrate the uniqueness of its caudal subdivision

Mauro Delorenzi, Didier Surdez, Susan Willi Monnerat

The elucidation of mechanisms underlying telencephalic neural development has been limited by the lack of knowledge regarding the molecular and cellular aspects of the ganglionic eminence (GE), an embryonic structure that supplies the brain with diverse se ...

Interneuron Diversity series: Molecular and genetic tools to study GABAergic interneuron diversity and function

Henry Markram

Structural and functional diversity of GABAergic interneurons has become increasingly central in our understanding of the elemental steps of information processing in the brain. The use of different molecular, electrophysiological and anatomical techniques ...

Synapses as dynamic memory buffers

Henry Markram

This article throws new light on the possible role of synapses in information transmission through theoretical analysis and computer simulations. We show that the internal dynamic state of a synapse may serve as a transient memory buffer that stores inform ...
