Slow dynamics in structured neural network models

Humans and some other animals are able to perform tasks that require coordination of movements across multiple temporal scales, ranging from hundreds of milliseconds to several seconds. The fast timescale at which neurons naturally operate, on the order of ...

A Framework for Coupled Simulations of Robots and Spiking Neuronal Networks

Marc-Oliver Gewaltig, Egidio Falotico, Lorenzo Vannucci, Georg Hinkel, Stefan Ulbrich, Nino Cauli, Oliver Denninger, Henning Groenda

Bio-inspired robots still rely on classic robot control although advances in neurophysiology allow adaptation to control as well. However, the connection of a robot to spiking neuronal networks needs adjustments for each purpose and requires frequent adapt ...

Agile in-litero experiments

Renaud Luc Richardet

In neuroscience, as in many other scientific domains, the primary form of knowledge dissemination is through published articles in peer-reviewed journals. One challenge for modern neuroinformatics is to design methods to make the knowledge from the tremend ...

Shedding of neurexin 3 beta ectodomain by ADAM10 releases a soluble fragment that affects the development of newborn neurons

Erika Myrna Borcel Novoa, Patrick Fraering, Mitko Dimitrov, Magda Maria Palczynska, Giorgio Ulrich, Marine Krzisch

Neurexins are transmembrane synaptic cell adhesion molecules involved in the development and maturation of neuronal synapses. In the present study, we report that Nrxn3 beta is processed by the metalloproteases ADAM10, ADAM17, and by the intramembrane-clea ...

Probable nature of higher-dimensional symmetries underlying mammalian grid-cell activity patterns

Alexander Mathis

Lattices abound in nature—from the crystal structure of minerals to the honey-comb organization of ommatidia in the compound eye of insects. These arrangements provide solutions for optimal packings, efficient resource distribution, and cryptographic proto ...

Connectomics across development

Elda Fischi Gomez

The brain is probably the most complex system of the human body, composed of numerous neural units interconnected at dierent scales. This highly structured architecture provides the ability to communicate, synthesize information and perform the analytical ...

Time and the brain: neurorelativity. The chronoarchitecture of the brain from the neuronal rather than the observer's perspective

Frank Scharnowski

Naturally, neuroscientists look at the brain from the outside when measuring how the flow of information unfolds over space and time. A neuron, on the other hand, can only 'see' through its connections, and they are spatiotemporally limited. Hence, the neu ...

Undirected compensatory plasticity contributes to neuronal dysfunction after severe spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Pavel Musienko, Rubia van den Brand, Lucia Florinda Friedli Wittler, Janine Beauparlant

Severe spinal cord injury in humans leads to a progressive neuronal dysfunction in the chronic stage of the injury. This dysfunction is characterized by premature exhaustion of muscle activity during assisted locomotion, which is associated with the emerge ...

Accelerating Range Queries For Brain Simulations

Anastasia Ailamaki, Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Thomas Heinis, Farhan Tauheed, Laurynas Biveinis

Neuroscientists increasingly use computational tools to build and simulate models of the brain. The amounts of data involved in these simulations are immense and the importance of their efficient management is primordial. One particular problem in analyzin ...
