The Neuron Phenotype Ontology: A FAIR Approach to Proposing and Classifying Neuronal Types

The challenge of defining and cataloging the building blocks of the brain requires a standardized approach to naming neurons and organizing knowledge about their properties. The US Brain Initiative Cell Census Network, Human Cell Atlas, Blue Brain Project, ...

Learning-induced biases in the ongoing dynamics of sensory representations predict stimulus generalization

Christoph Pokorny

Sensory stimuli have long been thought to be represented in the brain as activity patterns of specific neuronal assemblies. However, we still know relatively little about the long-term dynamics of sensory representations. Using chronic in vivo calcium imag ...

Cliques of Neurons Bound into Cavities Provide a Missing Link between Structure and Function

Henry Markram, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Michael Reimann, Rodrigo de Campos Perin, Giuseppe Chindemi, Martina Scolamiero, Ran Levi, Max Christian Nolte, Katharine Felicity Turner, Pawel Tadeusz Dlotko

The lack of a formal link between neural network structure and its emergent function has hampered our understanding of how the brain processes information. We have now come closer to describing such a link by taking the direction of synaptic transmission i ...

Diverse synaptic plasticity mechanisms orchestrated to form and retrieve memories in spiking neural networks

Wulfram Gerstner, Friedemann Zenke

Synaptic plasticity, the putative basis of learning and memory formation, manifests in various forms and across different timescales. Here we show that the interaction of Hebbian homosynaptic plasticity with rapid non-Hebbian heterosynaptic plasticity is, ...

New insights into the classification and nomenclature of cortical GABAergic interneurons

Henry Markram, Sean Lewis Hill, Yun Wang, Ruth Benavides Piccione, Jean Rossier, Zoltan Kisvarday

A systematic classification and accepted nomenclature of neuron types is much needed but is currently lacking. This article describes a possible taxononnical solution for classifying GABAergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex based on a novel, web-based ...

Somatoparaphrenia: a body delusion. A review of the neuropsychological literature

Roberta Ronchi, Giuseppe Vallar

A review of published brain-damaged patients showing delusional beliefs concerning the contralesional side of the body (somatoparaphrenia) is presented. Somatoparaphrenia has been reported, with a few exceptions, in right-brain-damaged patients, with motor ...

Chronic stress in adulthood followed by intermittent stress impairs spatial memory and the survival of newborn hippocampal cells in aging animals: prevention by FGL, a peptide mimetic of neural cell adhesion molecule

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Erika Myrna Borcel Novoa, Thomas Brionne

In this study, we examined whether chronic stress in adulthood can exert long-term effects on spatial-cognitive abilities and on the survival of newborn hippocampal cells in aging animals. Male Wistar rats were subjected to chronic unpredictable stress at ...

Complete and long-term rescue of lesioned adult motoneurons by lentiviral-mediated expression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor in the facial nucleus

Patrick Aebischer

To date, delivery of neurotrophic factors has only allowed to transiently protect axotomized facial motoneurons against cell death. In the present report, long-term protection of these neurons was evaluated by continuously expressing the neurotrophic facto ...

High sensitivity quantitative analysis of cobalt uptake in rat cerebellar granule cells with and without excitatory amino acids

Giorgio Margaritondo

We quantified the effect of the excitatory amino acids kainate and glutamate on the uptake of cobalt in primary rat cerebellar granule neurons, by using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). We quantitatively demonstrated that ...

The distribution and morphological characteristics of the intracortical VIP-positive cell: an immunohistochemical analysis

Pierre Magistretti

Using a sensitive immunohistochemical procedure, we have undertaken a detailed morphological characterization of the vasoactive intestinal peptide-positive (VIP-positive) neuron in the cerebral cortex of the rat. VIP-positive neurons are present in all reg ...
