Elucidating the role of neuron-astrocyte metabolic coupling in learning and memory

The brain has very high energy demands that are mainly met by the circulating blood glucose to ensure its proper functioning. Thus, it is not surprising that though the human brain weighs only 2- 3% of the body weight, it consumes approximately 25% of tota ...

Increased axonal bouton dynamics in the aging mouse cortex

Graham Knott, Bohumil Maco, Ge Gao

Aging is a major risk factor for many neurological diseases and is associated with mild cognitive decline. Previous studies suggest that aging is accompanied by reduced synapse number and synaptic plasticity in specific brain regions. However, most studies ...

Emergent Properties of in silico Synaptic Transmission in a Model of the Rat Neocortical Column

Srikanth Ramaswamy

The cerebral cortex occupies nearly 80% of the entire volume of the mammalian brain and is thought to subserve higher cognitive functions like memory, attention and sensory perception. The neocortex is the newest part in the evolution of the cerebral corte ...

Predictive Engineering the Membrane Composition of Neocortical Neurons

Georges Khazen

The brain is the most mysterious and intricate biological structure known to man. It dominates the way we live, think, reason and behave. It is built of billions of neurons that communicate with each other through trillions of connections using electrical ...

Here are my Data Files. Here are my Queries. Where are my Results?

Anastasia Ailamaki, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Ioannis Alagiannis

Database management systems (DBMS) provide incredible flexibility and performance when it comes to query processing, scalability and accuracy. To fully exploit DBMS features, however, the user must define a schema, load the data, tune the system for the ex ...

Membrane potential dynamics of GABAergic neurons in the barrel cortex of behaving mice

Carl Petersen, Michael Avermann, Ferenc Mátyás

Computations in cortical circuits are mediated by synaptic interactions between excitatory and inhibitory neurons, and yet we know little about their activity in awake animals. Here, through single and dual whole-cell recordings combined with two-photon mi ...
