Of mice and men: Dendritic architecture differentiates human from mouse neuronal networks

Henry Markram, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Rodrigo de Campos Perin, Lida Kanari, Ying Shi, Julie Meystre, Alexis Arnaudon, Maurizio Ferdinando Pezzoli, Natali Barros Zulaica

The organizational principles that distinguish the human brain from other species have been a long-standing enigma in neuroscience. Focusing on the uniquely evolved human cortical layers 2 and 3, we computationally reconstruct the cortical architecture for ...

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 ...

Community-based reconstruction and simulation of a full-scale model of region CA1 of rat hippocampus

Henry Markram, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Srikanth Ramaswamy, Michael Reimann, James Gonzalo King, Lida Kanari, Ying Shi, Armando Romani, Davide Bella, Felix Schürmann

The CA1 region of the hippocampus is one of the most studied regions of the rodent brain, thought to play an important role in cognitive functions such as memory and spatial navigation. Despite a wealth of experimental data on its structure and function, i ...

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

2023

Different responses of mice and rats hippocampus CA1 pyramidal neurons to in vitro and in vivo-like inputs

Ying Shi, Armando Romani, Maurizio Ferdinando Pezzoli, Michele Migliore, Rosanna Migliore

The fundamental role of any neuron within a network is to transform complex spatiotemporal synaptic input patterns into individual output spikes. These spikes, in turn, act as inputs for other neurons in the network. Neurons must execute this function acro ...

Intact Drosophila central nervous system cellular quantitation reveals sexual dimorphism

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Ying Shi, Evelyne Ruchti, Brian Donal McCabe, Soumya Banerjee, Samuel William Vernon, Wei Jiao, Gard Spreemann

Establishing with precision the quantity and identity of the cell types of the brain is a prerequisite for a detailed compendium of gene and protein expression in the central nervous system (CNS). Currently, however, strict quantitation of cell numbers has ...

A null model of the mouse whole-neocortex micro-connectome

Henry Markram, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Michael Reimann, Ying Shi, Huanxiang Lu

In connectomics, the study of the network structure of connected neurons, great advances are being made on two different scales: that of macro- and meso-scale connectomics, studying the connectivity between populations of neurons, and that of micro-scale c ...

Experimentally-constrained biophysical models of tonic and burst firing modes in thalamocortical neurons

Henry Markram, Sean Lewis Hill, Ying Shi, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Christian O'Reilly, Christian Andreas Rössert, Elisabetta Iavarone, Bas-Jan Zandt, Jane Yi

Somatosensory thalamocortical (TC) neurons from the ventrobasal (VB) thalamus are central components in the flow of sensory information between the periphery and the cerebral cortex, and participate in the dynamic regulation of thalamocortical states inclu ...

Objective Morphological Classification of Neocortical Pyramidal Cells

Henry Markram, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Srikanth Ramaswamy, Rodrigo de Campos Perin, Lida Kanari, Ying Shi, Julie Meystre, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Yun Wang

A consensus on the number of morphologically different types of pyramidal cells (PCs) in the neocortex has not yet been reached, despite over a century of anatomical studies, due to the lack of agreement on the subjective classifications of neuron types, w ...
