A multiscale electro-metabolic model of a rat neocortical circuit reveals the impact of ageing on central cortical layers

Henry Markram, James Gonzalo King, Daniel Keller, James Bryden Isbister, Polina Shichkova, Darshan Mandge, Alessandro Cattabiani

The high energetic demands of the brain arise primarily from neuronal activity. Neurons consume substantial energy to transmit information as electrical signals and maintain their resting membrane potential. These energetic requirements are met by the neur ...

Seizure and redox rescue in a model of glucose transport deficiency

Henry Markram, Daniel Keller, Polina Shichkova

Disruptions of energy supply to the brain are associated with many neurodegenerative pathologies and are difficult to study due to numerous interlinked metabolic pathways. We explored the effects of diminished energy supply on brain metabolism using a comp ...

Modeling and Simulation of Neocortical Micro- and Mesocircuitry. Part I: Anatomy

Henry Markram, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Srikanth Ramaswamy, Michael Reimann, James Gonzalo King, Lida Kanari, Ying Shi, Armando Romani, Adrien Michel Achille Devresse

The function of the neocortex is fundamentally determined by its repeating microcircuit motif, but also by its rich, hierarchical, interregional structure with a highly specific laminar architecture. The last decade has seen the emergence of extensive new ...

Structural and molecular characterization of astrocyte and vasculature connectivity in the mouse hippocampus and cortex

Henry Markram, Giovanna Ambrosini, Romain Guiet, Nicolas René Chiaruttini, Daniel Keller, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Elvis Boci

The relation of astrocytic endfeet to the vasculature plays a key functional role in the neuro‐glia‐vasculature unit. We characterize the spatial organization of astrocytes and the structural aspects that facilitate their involvement in molecular exchanges ...

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 ...

Brain Metabolism in Health and Neurodegeneration: The Interplay Among Neurons and Astrocytes

Henry Markram, Daniel Keller, Jay Coggan, Polina Shichkova

The regulation of energy in the brain has garnered substantial attention in recent years due to its significant implications in various disorders and aging. The brain’s energy metabolism is a dynamic and tightly regulated network that balances energy deman ...

Cell-type-specific densities in mouse somatosensory cortex derived from scRNA-seq and in situ RNA hybridization

Henry Markram, Daniel Keller

Cells in the mammalian cerebral cortex exhibit layer-dependent patterns in their distribution. Classical methods of determining cell type distributions typically employ a painstaking process of large-scale sampling and characterization of cellular composit ...
