Axonal and Dendritic Morphology of Excitatory Neurons in Layer 2/3 Mouse Barrel Cortex Imaged Through Whole-Brain Two-Photon Tomography and Registered to a Digital Brain Atlas

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Yanqi Liu, Georgios Foustoukos

Communication between cortical areas contributes importantly to sensory perception and cognition. On the millisecond time scale, information is signaled from one brain area to another by action potentials propagating across long-range axonal arborizations. ...

Olfactory modulation of barrel cortex activity during active whisking and passive whisker stimulation

Anthony Pierre Robert Renard

Rodents depend on olfaction and touch to meet many of their fundamental needs. However, the impact of simultaneous olfactory and tactile inputs on sensory representations in the cortex remains elusive. To study these interactions, we recorded large populat ...

Input-dependent regulation of excitability controls dendritic maturation in somatosensory thalamocortical neurons

Johannes Gräff, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut

Input from the sensory organs is required to pattern neurons into topographical maps during development. Dendritic complexity critically determines this patterning process; yet, how signals from the periphery act to control dendritic maturation is unclear. ...

Parallel pathways from whisker and visual sensory cortices to distinct frontal regions of mouse neocortex

Carl Petersen, Varun Sreenivasan, Céline Matéo, Alexandros Kyriakatos

The spatial organization of mouse frontal cortex is poorly understood. Here, we used voltage-sensitive dye to image electrical activity in the dorsal cortex of awake head-restrained mice. Whisker-deflection evoked the earliest sensory response in a localiz ...

Using the Green's function to simplify and understand dendrites

Willem Anna Mark Wybo

Neurons are endowed with dendrites: tree-like structures that collect and transform inputs. These arborizations are believed to substantially enhance the computational repertoire of neurons. While it has long been known that dendrites are not iso-potential ...

Imaging the Dynamics of Neocortical Population Activity in Behaving and Freely Moving Mammals

Carl Petersen

The development of functional imaging techniques applicable to neuroscience and covering a wide range of spatial and temporal scales has greatly facilitated the exploration of the relationships between cognition, behaviour and electrical brain activity. Fo ...

Cholinergic Signals in Mouse Barrel Cortex during Active Whisker Sensing

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Yves Emile Alfred Kremer, Emmanuel Albert Eggermann

Internal brain states affect sensory perception, cognition, and learning. Many neocortical areas exhibit changes in the pattern and synchrony of neuronal activity during quiet versus active behaviors. Active behaviors are typically associated with desynchr ...

Cell-type specific function of GABAergic neurons in layers 2 and 3 of mouse barrel cortex

Carl Petersen

GABAergic neurons are a minor fraction of the neocortical neuronal population, but they are highly diverse in their features. The GABAergic neurons can be divided into three largely non-overlapping groups, defined through the expression of ionotropic serot ...

High Bandwidth Synaptic Communication and Frequency Tracking in Human Neocortex

Michele Giugliano

Neuronal firing, synaptic transmission, and its plasticity form the building blocks for processing and storage of information in the brain. It is unknown whether adult human synapses are more efficient in transferring information between neurons than roden ...

Direct mapping of 19F in 19FDG-6P in brain tissue at subcellular resolution using soft X-ray fluorescence

Rolf Gruetter, Carole Poitry-Yamate

Low energy x-ray fluorescence (LEXRF) detection was optimized for imaging cerebral glucose metabolism by mapping the fluorine LEXRF signal of 19 F in 19 FDG, trapped as intracellular 19 F-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate ( 19 FDG-6P) at 1μm spatial resolution from ...
