Principles of Network Plasticity in Neocortical Microcircuits
Synaptic plasticity underlies our ability to learn and adapt to the constantly changing environment. The phenomenon of synapses changing their efficacy in an activity-dependent manner is often studied in small groups of neurons in vitro or indirectly throu ...
EPFL2023Learning-related congruent and incongruent changes of excitation and inhibition in distinct cortical areas
Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Romain Guiet, Vahid Esmaeili, Yanqi Liu, Georgios Foustoukos, Keita Tamura, Anastasiia Oryshchuk, Reza Asri
Excitatory and inhibitory neurons in diverse cortical regions are likely to contribute differentially to the transformation of sensory information into goal-directed motor plans. Here, we investigate the relative changes across mouse sensorimotor cortex in ...
2022Long term effects of peripubertal stress on excitatory and inhibitory circuits in the prefrontal cortex of male and female mice
The impact of stressful events is especially important during early life, because certain cortical regions, especially the prefrontal cortex (PFC), are still developing. Consequently, aversive experiences that occur during the peripubertal period can cause ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC2021Human Cortical Pyramidal Neurons: From Spines to Spikes via Models
Idan Segev, Ruth Benavides Piccione, Guy Eyal, Yair Deitcher
We present detailed models of pyramidal cells from human neocortex, including models on their excitatory synapses, dendritic spines, dendritic NMDA- and somatic/axonal Na(+) spikes that provided new insights into signal processing and computational capabil ...
2018Optical sensory and motor mapping of mouse dorsal cortex
Throughout species, including mice and humans, we all have to make decisions to fulfill our fundamentals needs: eat, drink, explore, communicate, reproduce... To make those decisions, we have to collect informations from the surrounding world and to proces ...
EPFL2018Neurogenic Radial Glia-like Cells in Meninges Migrate and Differentiate into Functionally Integrated Neurons in the Neonatal Cortex
Whether new neurons are added in the postnatal cerebral cortex is still debated. Here, we report that the meninges of perinatal mice contain a population of neurogenic progenitors formed during embryonic development that migrate to the caudal cortex and di ...
Cell Press2017Anatomy and physiology of the thick-tufted layer 5 pyramidal neuron
Henry Markram, Srikanth Ramaswamy
The thick-tufted layer 5 (TTL5) pyramidal neuron is one of the most extensively studied neuron types in the mammalian neocortex and has become a benchmark for understanding information processing in excitatory neurons. By virtue of having the widest local ...
Frontiers Research Foundation2015High Bandwidth Synaptic Communication and Frequency Tracking in Human Neocortex
Neuronal firing, synaptic transmission, and its plasticity form the building blocks for processing and storage of information in the brain. It is unknown whether adult human synapses are more efficient in transferring information between neurons than roden ...
Public Library Science2014Cortical Interneuron Loss and Symptom Heterogeneity in Huntington Disease
Objective: The cellular basis of variable symptoms in Huntington disease (HD) is unclear. One important possibility is that degeneration of the interneurons in the cerebral cortex, which play a critical role in modulating cortical output to the basal gangl ...
Wiley-Blackwell2014Synaptic Computation and Sensory Processing in Neocortical Layer 2/3
Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet
Computations in neocortical circuits are predominantly driven by synaptic integration of excitatory glutamatergic and inhibitory GABAergic inputs. New optical, electrophysiological, and genetic methods allow detailed in vivo investigation of the superficia ...
