Impact of Mitofusin 2 in the Nucleus Accumbens on motivated behavior and underlying neurobiological mechanisms

Alessandro Chioino

The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is part of the ventral striatum and plays a major role in motivation and goal-directed behaviour. Increasing evidence implicates impairments in accumbal function in anxiety and depression, two conditions that are commonly accomp ...

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 ...

Long-term plasticity induces sparse and specific synaptic changes in a biophysically detailed cortical model

Eilif Benjamin Muller, Michael Reimann, James Gonzalo King, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Pramod Shivaji Kumbhar, András Ecker, Sirio Bolaños Puchet, James Bryden Isbister, Daniela Egas Santander, Jorge Blanco Alonso, Giuseppe Chindemi, Ioannis Magkanaris

Synaptic plasticity underlies the brain’s ability to learn and adapt. This process is often studied in small groups of neurons in vitro or indirectly through its effects on behavior in vivo. Due to the limitations of available experimental techniques, inve ...

NMDA-driven dendritic modulation enables multitask representation learning in hierarchical sensory processing pathways

Willem Anna Mark Wybo, Bernd Albert Illing, Matthias Chinyen Tsai, Walter Senn

While sensory representations in the brain depend on context, it remains unclear how such modulations are implemented at the biophysical level, and how processing layers further in the hierarchy can extract useful features for each possible contex-tual sta ...

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. ...

A subpopulation of cortical VIP-expressing interneurons with highly dynamic spines

Graham Knott, Jérôme Blanc, Christina Georgiou, Kok Sin Lee

Structural synaptic plasticity may underlie experience and learning-dependent changes in cortical circuits. In contrast to excitatory pyramidal neurons, insight into the structural plasticity of inhibitory neurons remains limited. Interneurons are divided ...

Revealing Morphology Evolution of Lithium Dendrites by Large-Scale Simulation Based on Machine Learning Force Field

Mouyi Weng, Wentao Zhang

Solving the dendrite growth problem is critical for the development of lithium metal anode for high-capacity batteries. In this work, a machine learning force field model in combination with a self-consistent continuum solvation model is used to simulate t ...

In situ visualizing the interplay between the separator and potassium dendrite growth by synchrotron X-ray tomography

Yutao Li, Yanan Chen, Kangning Zhao, Chao Yang, Xuchen Wang, Fu Sun

Rechargeable potassium (K) batteries are a promising next-generation technology for low-cost grid scale energy storage applications. Nevertheless, the undesirable interfacial instabilities originating from the interplay between the employed separators and ...
