Ready-to-Record Cells for Kinetic Screening of VGICs

Voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs) are integral membrane proteins crucial for transmitting electrical signals in excitable cells. Understanding the kinetics of these ion channels requires conducting patch-clamp experiments using genetically modified cell l ...

Modeling and simulation of neocortical micro- and mesocircuitry. Part II: Physiology and experimentation

Henry Markram, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Srikanth Ramaswamy, Michael Reimann, James Gonzalo King, Rajnish Ranjan, Armando Romani, Mustafa Anil Tuncel, Aleksandra Zuzanna Teska, Polina Litvak

Cortical dynamics underlie many cognitive processes and emerge from complex multi-scale interactions, which are challenging to study in vivo. Large-scale, biophysically detailed models offer a tool which can complement laboratory approaches. We present a m ...

Thalamic control of sensory processing and spindles in a biophysical somatosensory thalamoreticular circuit model of wakefulness and sleep

Henry Markram, Sean Lewis Hill, Michael Reimann, Rodrigo de Campos Perin, James Gonzalo King, Ying Shi, Rajnish Ranjan, Mustafa Anil Tuncel, Samuel Claude Kerrien, Polina Litvak

A Kinetic Map of the Homomeric Voltage-Gated Potassium Channel (Kv) Family

Henry Markram, Rajnish Ranjan, Emmanuelle Logette, Enrico Scantamburlo, Mirjia Herzog, Valérie Buchillier, Michela Marani, Valérie Tâche

The voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels, encoded by 40 genes, repolarize all electrically excitable cells, including plant, cardiac, and neuronal cells. Although these genes were fully sequenced decades ago, a comprehensive kinetic characterization of al ...

Mapping the function of neuronal ion channels in model and experiment

Rajnish Ranjan, Alexander Kevin Seeholzer, Tim Vogels, William Francis Podlaski

Ion channel models are the building blocks of computational neuron models. Their biological fidelity is therefore crucial for the interpretation of simulations. However, the number of published models, and the lack of standardization, make the comparison o ...

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 ...

The neocortical microcircuit collaboration portal: a resource for rat somatosensory cortex

Henry Markram, Sean Lewis Hill, Lida Kanari, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Srikanth Ramaswamy, Ying Shi, Rajnish Ranjan, Michael Reimann, Felix Schürmann, James Gonzalo King

We have established a multi-constraint, data-driven process to digitally reconstruct, and simulate prototypical neocortical microcircuitry, using sparse experimental data. We applied this process to reconstruct the microcircuitry of the somatosensory corte ...

Engineering Neuron Models : from Ion Channels to Electrical Behavior

Rajnish Ranjan

The neocortex is one of the most evolved and complex region of the brain. For more than a century scientists have been curious about the neocortex, to identify the anatomical blueprint of its cellular organization and to understand its role in higher brain ...
