Of mice and men: Dendritic architecture differentiates human from mouse neuronal networks

Henry Markram, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Rodrigo de Campos Perin, Lida Kanari, Ying Shi, Julie Meystre, Alexis Arnaudon, Maurizio Ferdinando Pezzoli, Natali Barros Zulaica

The organizational principles that distinguish the human brain from other species have been a long-standing enigma in neuroscience. Focusing on the uniquely evolved human cortical layers 2 and 3, we computationally reconstruct the cortical architecture for ...

Computational Generation of Long-range Axonal Morphologies

Henry Markram, Lida Kanari

Long-range axons are fundamental to brain connectivity and functional organization, enabling communication between different brain regions. Recent advances in experimental techniques have yielded a substantial number of whole-brain axonal reconstructions. ...

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 ...

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 ...

BlueCelluLab: Biologically Detailed Neural Network Experimentation API

Henry Markram, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Lida Kanari, Mustafa Anil Tuncel, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Darshan Mandge, Aurélien Tristan Jaquier

The NEURON simulator, established in 1984 and continuously developed since, stands as the preeminent tool for neuron simulation within computational neuroscience. Its widespread adoption and compatibility with computational clusters and supercomputers unde ...

Controlling morpho-electrophysiological variability of neurons with detailed models

Henry Markram, Lida Kanari, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Alexis Arnaudon, Maria Reva, Mickael Maurice Zbili

Variability, which is known to be a universal feature among biological units such as neuronal cells, holds significant importance, as, for example, it enables a robust encoding of a high volume of information in neuronal circuits and prevents hypersynchron ...

Computational synthesis of cortical dendritic morphologies

Henry Markram, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Lida Kanari, Julian Charles Shillcock, Hugo Thabo Dictus, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Alexis Arnaudon, Benoît Jean-Albert Coste

Neuronal morphologies provide the foundation for the electrical behavior of neurons, the connectomes they form, and the dynamical properties of the brain. Comprehensive neuron models are essential for defining cell types, discerning their functional roles, ...

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 ...

OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC2022

A tool for mapping microglial morphology, morphOMICs, reveals brain-region and sex-dependent phenotypes

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Lida Kanari, Martina Scolamiero

Environmental cues influence the highly dynamic morphology of microglia. Strategies to characterize these changes usually involve user-selected morphometric features, which preclude the identification of a spectrum of context-dependent morphological phenot ...

NATURE PORTFOLIO2022

Synthesis of branching morphologies

Henry Markram, Lida Kanari

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for generating model neurons. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a plurality of descriptions of branches of dendrites of one or more neurons and gener ...
