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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ultraliser: a framework for creating multiscale, high-fidelity and geometrically realistic 3D models for in silico neuroscience

Pierre Magistretti, Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Daniel Keller, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Jay Coggan, Nadir Roman Guerrero, Juan José García Cantero, Alessandro Enrico Foni, Eleftherios Zisis

Ultraliser is a neuroscience-specific software framework capable of creating accurate and biologically realistic 3D models of complex neuroscientific structures at intracellular (e.g. mitochondria and endoplasmic reticula), cellular (e.g. neurons and glia) ...

Online interoperable resources for building hippocampal neuron models via the Hippocampus Hub

Armando Romani, Felix Schürmann, Michele Migliore, Luca Leonardo Bologna

To build biophysically detailed models of brain cells, circuits, and regions, a data-driven approach is increasingly being adopted. This helps to obtain a simulated activity that reproduces the experimentally recorded neural dynamics as faithfully as possi ...

MOD2IR: High-Performance Code Generation for a Biophysically Detailed Neuronal Simulation DSL

Felix Schürmann, Pramod Shivaji Kumbhar, Omar Awile, Snehal Pramod Kumbhar, Ioannis Magkanaris

Advances in computational capabilities and large volumes of experimental data have established computer simulations of brain tissue models as an important pillar in modern neuroscience. Alongside, a variety of domain specific languages (DSLs) have been dev ...

Strong and reliable synaptic communication between pyramidal neurons in adult human cerebral cortex

Henry Markram, Lida Kanari, Felix Schürmann, Natali Barros Zulaica

Synaptic transmission constitutes the primary mode of communication between neurons. It is extensively studied in rodent but not human neocortex. We characterized synaptic transmission between pyramidal neurons in layers 2 and 3 using neurosurgically resec ...
