Sharpening the blades of the dentate gyrus: how adult-born neurons differentially modulate diverse aspects of hippocampal learning and memory

For decades, the mammalian hippocampus has been the focus of cellular, anatomical, behavioral, and computational studies aimed at understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying cognition. Long recognized as the brain's seat for learning and memory, a ...

Principles of Network Plasticity in Neocortical Microcircuits

András Ecker

Synaptic plasticity underlies our ability to learn and adapt to the constantly changing environment. The phenomenon of synapses changing their efficacy in an activity-dependent manner is often studied in small groups of neurons in vitro or indirectly throu ...

Targeted regeneration of spinal cord neurons across a complete injury restores walking

Marco Milano

Spinal cord injury (SCI) interrupts axonal connections between the brain and the spinal cord, and is characterized by a spectrum of sensorimotor and autonomic impairments. While spontaneous recovery is limited, recent studies have shown that functional imp ...

Altered developmental trajectories of verbal learning skills in 22q11.2DS: associations with hippocampal development and psychosis

Maude Schneider, Karin Bortolin

Background The cognitive profile in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is often characterized by a discrepancy between nonverbal vs. verbal reasoning skills, in favor of the latter skills. This dissociation has also been observed in memory, with verbal ...

Neuromodulation of neocortical microcircuitry: a multi-scale framework to model the effects of cholinergic release

Cristina Colangelo

Neuromodulation of neocortical microcircuits is one of the most fascinatingand mysterious aspects of brain physiology. Despite over a century of research,the neuroscientific community has yet to uncover the fundamentalbiological organizing principles under ...

A tool for mapping microglial morphology, morphOMICs, reveals brain-region and sex-dependent phenotypes

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Lida Kanari, Martina Scolamiero

Environmental cues influence the highly dynamic morphology of microglia. Strategies to characterize these changes usually involve user-selected morphometric features, which preclude the identification of a spectrum of context-dependent morphological phenot ...

Incomplete Recovery of Zebrafish Retina Following Cryoinjury

Dylan Lawless

Zebrafish show an extraordinary potential for regeneration in several organs from fins to central nervous system. Most impressively, the outcome of an injury results in a near perfect regeneration and a full functional recovery. Indeed, among the various i ...

A functional model of adult dentate gyrus neurogenesis

Wulfram Gerstner, Olivia Gozel

In adult dentate gyrus neurogenesis, the link between maturation of newborn neurons and their function, such as behavioral pattern separation, has remained puzzling. By analyzing a theoretical model, we show that the switch from excitation to inhibition of ...

HippoUnit: A software tool for the automated testing and systematic comparison of detailed models of hippocampal neurons based on electrophysiological data

Eilif Benjamin Muller, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Armando Romani, Szabolcs Kali, Carmen Alina Lupascu, Rosanna Migliore, Luca Leonardo Bologna, Sàra Sàray, Shailesh Appukuttan

Anatomically and biophysically detailed data-driven neuronal models have become widely used tools for understanding and predicting the behavior and function of neurons. Due to the increasing availability of experimental data from anatomical and electrophys ...

Optogenetic Interrogation of Circuits Following Neurotrauma

Grégoire Courtine, Steven Lee Ceto

Biological and engineering strategies for neural repair and recovery from neurotrauma continue to emerge at a rapid pace. Until recently, studies of the impact of neurotrauma and repair strategies on the reorganization of the central nervous system have fo ...
