Stabilization of cultural innovations depends on population density: Testing an epidemiological model of cultural evolution against a global dataset of rock art sites and climate-based estimates of ancient population densities

John Richard Walker, Taylor Howard Newton, Francesco Casalegno

Demographic models of human cultural evolution have high explanatory potential but weak empirical support. Here we use a global dataset of rock art sites and climate and genetics-based estimates of ancient population densities to test a new model based on ...

In silico voltage-sensitive dye imaging reveals the emergent dynamics of cortical populations

Henry Markram, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Michael Reimann, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Taylor Howard Newton, Grigori Chevtchenko

Voltage-sensitive dye imaging (VSDI) is a powerful technique for interrogating membrane potential dynamics in assemblies of cortical neurons, but with effective resolution limits that confound interpretation. To address this limitation, we developed an in ...

Caries Detection with Near-Infrared Transillumination Using Deep Learning

Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Taylor Howard Newton, Francesco Casalegno

Dental caries is the most prevalent chronic condition worldwide. Early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes and reduce the need for invasive procedures. Recently, near-infrared transillumination (TI) imaging has been shown to be effective ...

In Silico Voltage-Sensitive Dye Imaging: A Model-Based Approach for Bridging Scales of Cortical Activity

Taylor Howard Newton

An understanding of how microscale voltage fluctuations interact to shape mesoscale cortical information processing is lacking. Voltage-sensitive dye imaging (VSDI) is a powerful technique for interrogating membrane potential dynamics in assemblies of cort ...

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 ...
