A multi-modal fitting approach to construct single-neuron models with patch clamp and high-density microelectrode arrays

Henry Markram, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Tanguy Pierre Louis Damart, Darshan Mandge, Mickael Maurice Zbili, Aurélien Tristan Jaquier

In computational neuroscience, multicompartment models are among the most biophysically realistic representations of single neurons. Constructing such models usually involves the use of the patch-clamp technique to record somatic voltage signals under diff ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

BlueCelluLab: Biologically Detailed Neural Network Experimentation API

Henry Markram, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Lida Kanari, Mustafa Anil Tuncel, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Darshan Mandge, Aurélien Tristan Jaquier

The NEURON simulator, established in 1984 and continuously developed since, stands as the preeminent tool for neuron simulation within computational neuroscience. Its widespread adoption and compatibility with computational clusters and supercomputers unde ...

Associations between in vitro, in vivo and in silico cell classes in mouse primary visual cortex

Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Anatoly Buchin

The brain consists of many cell classes yet in vivo electrophysiology recordings are typically unable to identify and monitor their activity in the behaving animal. Here, we employed a systematic approach to link cellular, multi-modal in vitro properties f ...

A universal workflow for creation, validation and generalization of detailed neuronal models

Henry Markram, Srikanth Ramaswamy, Mustafa Anil Tuncel, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Alexis Arnaudon, Christian Andreas Rössert, Maria Reva, Tanguy Pierre Louis Damart, Darshan Mandge

Detailed single neuron modeling is widely used to study neuronal functions. While cellular and functional diversity across the mammalian cortex is vast, most of the available computational tools are dedicated to the reproduction of a small set of specific ...

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

Controlling morpho-electrophysiological variability of neurons with detailed models

Henry Markram, Lida Kanari, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Alexis Arnaudon, Maria Reva, Mickael Maurice Zbili

Variability, which is known to be a universal feature among biological units such as neuronal cells, holds significant importance, as, for example, it enables a robust encoding of a high volume of information in neuronal circuits and prevents hypersynchron ...

Directional sensitivity of cortical neurons towards TMS induced electric fields

Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Aurélien Tristan Jaquier

We derived computationally efficient average response models of different types of cortical neurons, which are subject to external electric fields from Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. We used 24 reconstructions of pyramidal cells (PC) from layer 2/3, 24 ...
