Enhancement of brain atlases with region-specific coordinate systems: flatmaps and barrel column annotations

Michael Reimann, Armando Romani, Aleksandra Zuzanna Teska, Felix Schürmann, Juan Bautista Hernando Vieites, Huanxiang Lu, Sirio Bolaños Puchet

Digital brain atlases define a hierarchy of brain regions and their locations in three-dimensional space. They provide a standard coordinate system in which diverse datasets can be integrated for visualization and analysis. They also enable building of dat ...

Comprehensive proteomic analysis of JC polyomavirus-infected human astrocytes and their extracellular vesicles

Alexey Sapozhnik, Samuel Jones

JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) is an opportunistic virus that remains in a latent state in the kidneys and lymphoid organs of more than half of the human adult population. In rare cases of severe immune suppression, the virus is able to establish a lytic infectio ...

Loss of Motor Cortical Inputs to the Red Nucleus after CNS Disorders in Nonhuman Primates

Simon Borgognon

The premotor (PM) and primary motor (M1) cortical areas broadcast voluntary motor commands through multiple neuronal pathways, including the corticorubral projection that reaches the red nucleus (RN). However, the respective contribution of M1 and PM to co ...

Axonal and Dendritic Morphology of Excitatory Neurons in Layer 2/3 Mouse Barrel Cortex Imaged Through Whole-Brain Two-Photon Tomography and Registered to a Digital Brain Atlas

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Georgios Foustoukos, Yanqi Liu

Communication between cortical areas contributes importantly to sensory perception and cognition. On the millisecond time scale, information is signaled from one brain area to another by action potentials propagating across long-range axonal arborizations. ...

Dysfunction of homeostatic control of dopamine by astrocytes in the developing prefrontal cortex leads to cognitive impairments

Graham Knott, Corrado Cali, Nicole Déglon, Tamara Zehnder, Luca Pucci, Andrea Chicca

Astrocytes orchestrate neural development by powerfully coordinating synapse formation and function and, as such, may be critically involved in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental abnormalities and cognitive deficits commonly observed in psychiatric dis ...

The Target of Exuberant Projections in Development

Giorgio Innocenti

In addition to neuronal death and elimination of synapses, the production of transient, exuberant axons, and axonal branches is a general phenomenon in development across species and systems. To understand what drives the decision of which axons are mainta ...

Serum GFAP in multiple sclerosis: correlation with disease type and MRI markers of disease severity

Tobias Kober, Bénédicte Marie Maréchal, Mario Joao Fartaria de Oliveira, Ricardo Alberto Corredor Jerez

Neurofilament light chain (NfL) has been demonstrated to correlate with multiple sclerosis disease severity as well as treatment response. Nevertheless, additional serum biomarkers are still needed to better differentiate disease activity from disease prog ...

Structural and functional brain imaging using extended-focus optical coherence tomography and microscopy

Paul James Marchand

Neuroimaging techniques aim at revealing the anatomy and functional organisation of cerebral structures. Over the past decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has revolutionized our understanding of human cerebral physiology through its abili ...

Synaptic patterning and the timescales of cortical dynamics

Alexander Kevin Seeholzer

Neocortical circuits, as large heterogeneous recurrent networks, can potentially operate and process signals at multiple timescales, but appear to be differentially tuned to operate within certain temporal receptive windows. The modular and hierarchical or ...

Cortical neurons gradually attain a post-mitotic state

Johannes Gräff

Once generated, neurons are thought to permanently exit the cell cycle and become irreversibly differentiated. However, neither the precise point at which this post-mitotic state is attained nor the extent of its irreversibility is clearly defined. Here we ...
