Reconstruction and Simulation of Neocortical Microcircuitry

Anastasia Ailamaki, Henry Markram, Sean Lewis Hill, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Rodrigo de Campos Perin, Lida Kanari, Srikanth Ramaswamy, Vincent Delattre, Michael Reimann, Ying Shi

We present a first-draft digital reconstruction of the microcircuitry of somatosensory cortex of juvenile rat. The reconstruction uses cellular and synaptic organizing principles to algorithmically reconstruct detailed anatomy and physiology from sparse ex ...

Matched Pre- and Post-Synaptic Changes Underlie Synaptic Plasticity over Long Time Scales

Henry Markram, Jean-Vincent Le Bé

Modifications of synaptic efficacies are considered essential for learning and memory. However, it is not known how the underlying functional components of synaptic transmission change over long time scales. To address this question, we studied cortical sy ...

Enhanced long-term microcircuit plasticity in the valproic Acid animal model of autism

Henry Markram, Kamila Markram, Tania Rinaldi, Jean-Vincent Le Bé, Imad Riachi, Guilherme Silva

A single intra-peritoneal injection of valproic acid (VPA) on embryonic day (ED) 11.5 to pregnant rats has been shown to produce severe autistic-like symptoms in the offspring. Previous studies showed that the microcircuitry is hyperreactive due to hyperco ...

Structure and dynamics of the neocortical microcircuit connectivity

Jean-Vincent Le Bé

The neocortex is the most computationally advanced portion of the brain. It is currently assumed to be composed of a large number of "cortical columns" – intricate arrangements of cortical neurons approximately 300-500 µm in diameter and 2-5 mm in height i ...

Morphological, electrophysiological, and synaptic properties of corticocallosal pyramidal cells in the neonatal rat neocortex

Henry Markram, Gilad Silberberg, Jean-Vincent Le Bé, Yi Wang

Neocortical pyramidal cells (PCs) project to various cortical and subcortical targets. In layer V, the population of thick tufted PCs (TTCs) projects to subcortical targets such as the tectum, brainstem, and spinal cord. Another population of layer V PCs p ...

Spontaneous and evoked synaptic rewiring in the neonatal neocortex

Henry Markram, Jean-Vincent Le Bé

The local microcircuitry of the neocortex is structurally a tabula rasa, with the axon of each pyramidal neuron having numerous submicrometer appositions with the dendrites of all neighboring pyramidal neurons, but is functionally highly selective, with sy ...
