A Neural Model of Demyelination of the Mouse Spinal Cord

Biljana Petreska von Ritter-Zahony

This paper presents a neural network model of demyelination of the mouse motor pathways, coupled to a central pattern generation (CPG) model for quadruped walking. Demyelination is the degradation of the myelin layer covering the axons which can be caused ...

The Structural Core of Human Cerebral Cortex and its relation to the brain s default network

Reto Meuli, Leila Cammoun, Xavier Gigandet, Olaf Sporns

Human cerebral cortex contains an uncertain number of structurally segregated regions interconnected by a dense network of axonal pathways. Using DSI, we map these pathways in individual human subjects. An analysis of the resulting large-scale structural b ...

The somatodendritic endosomal regulator NEEP21 facilitates axonal targeting of L1/NgCAM

Harald Hirling

Correct targeting of proteins to axons and dendrites is crucial for neuronal function. We showed previously that axonal accumulation of the cell adhesion molecule L1/neuron-glia cell adhesion molecule (NgCAM) depends on endocytosis (Wisco, D., E.D. Anderso ...

Modified Trans-synaptic Tracing Viruses Reveal Novel Connectivity in the Rat Olfactory Bulb

Aurélie Pala

Olfaction and the olfactory pathway is a good system to study sensory processing in general, mainly because of the simplified organization of the cells constituting the olfactory bulb, the anatomical structure responsible for early odor encoding and proces ...

A benchmark test for a quantitative assessment of simple neuron models

Wulfram Gerstner, Richard Naud, Renaud Jolivet

Several methods and algorithms have recently been proposed that allow for the systematic evaluation of simple neuron models from intracellular or extracellular recordings. Models built in this way generate good quantitative predictions of the future activi ...

Comprehensive spatiotemporal transcriptomic analyses of the ganglionic eminences demonstrate the uniqueness of its caudal subdivision

Mauro Delorenzi, Didier Surdez, Susan Willi Monnerat

The elucidation of mechanisms underlying telencephalic neural development has been limited by the lack of knowledge regarding the molecular and cellular aspects of the ganglionic eminence (GE), an embryonic structure that supplies the brain with diverse se ...

Comparative dynamics of retrograde actin flow and focal adhesions: formation of nascent adhesions triggers transition from fast to slow flow

Jean-Jacques Meister, Sébastien Schaub

Dynamic actin network at the leading edge of the cell is linked to the extracellular matrix through focal adhesions (FAs), and at the same time it undergoes retrograde flow with different dynamics in two distinct zones: the lamellipodium (peripheral zone o ...
