Membrane potential dynamics of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in mouse barrel cortex during active whisker sensing

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Aurélie Pala, Taro Kiritani, Célia Roxane Gasselin

Neocortical neurons can increasingly be divided into well-defined classes, but their activity patterns during quantified behavior remain to be fully determined. Here, we obtained membrane potential recordings from various classes of excitatory and inhibito ...

Effects of thermal, mechanical, and electrostatic perturbations on lipid membrane hydration investigated by second harmonic imaging

Seonwoo Lee

Hydrated lipid bilayer membranes are crucial components of cells and organelles, serving as the outer boundary that separates the cellular components from the extracellular environment. Lipid membranes regulate their structures and functions by dynamically ...

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 ...

Comprehensive Morpho-Electrotonic Analysis Shows 2 Distinct Classes of L2 and L3 Pyramidal Neurons in Human Temporal Cortex

Lida Kanari, Idan Segev, Guy Antoine Atenekeng Kahou, Guy Eyal, Yair Deitcher

There have been few quantitative characterizations of the morphological, biophysical, and cable properties of neurons in the human neocortex. We employed feature-based statistical methods on a rare data set of 60 3D reconstructed pyramidal neurons from L2 ...

A dynamic-relaxation formulation for analysis of cable structures with sliding-induced friction

Ian Smith, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, Ann Christine Sychterz

In many cable structures, special types of joints are designed to allow cables to slide freely along the joints. Thus, a number of discrete cable elements are substituted by a single continuous cable that slides over multiple nodes. Continuous cables are e ...

Intercellular ultrafast Ca2+ wave in vascular smooth muscle cells: numerical and experimental study

Jean-Jacques Meister, Niccolo Piacentini, Franck Claude Raynaud, Jairo Camilo Quijano Perez

Vascular smooth muscle cells exhibit intercellular Ca2+ waves in response to local mechanical or KCl stimulation. Recently, a new type of intercellular Ca2+ wave was observed in vitro in a linear arrangement of smooth muscle cells. The intercellular wave w ...

Impedance sensing of DNA immobilization and hybridization by microfabricated alumina nanopore membranes

Jürgen Brugger, Philippe Renaud, Songmei Wu, Robert Meissner, Mojtaba Taghipoor

In this work we demonstrate microfabricated thin alumina nanopore membranes as a platform for impedance sensing of DNA immobilization and hybridization. We develop a wafer-scale fabrication of free-standing alumina nanopore membranes with well controlled t ...
