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 ...

Ferroelectric Junctionless Double-Gate Silicon-On-Insulator FET as a Tripartite Synapse

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Igor Stolichnov, Ali Saeidi, Sadegh Kamaei Bahmaei, Matteo Cavalieri, Carlotta Gastaldi

In this work, we report the concept and experimentally demonstrate the first tunable ferroelectric (Fe) junctionless (JL) transistor (Fe-JLFET), capable of emulating the functionality of biological tri-partite synapses, which is an artificial three-termina ...

Estimating the Readily-Releasable Vesicle Pool Size at Synaptic Connections in the Neocortex

Henry Markram, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Srikanth Ramaswamy, Rodrigo de Campos Perin, Natali Barros Zulaica, Giuseppe Chindemi

Previous studies based on the 'Quantal Model' for synaptic transmission suggest that neurotransmitter release is mediated by a single release site at individual synaptic contacts in the neocortex. However, recent studies seem to contradict this hypothesis ...

The neocortex is densely innervated by basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic neurons. Long-range axons of cholinergic neurons regulate higher-order cognitive function and dysfunction in the neocortex by releasing acetylcholine (ACh). ACh release dynamically rec ...

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 ...

2018

Neurons process information through spatiotemporal integration of synaptic input. Synaptic transmission between any given pair of neurons is typically a dynamic process with presynaptic action potentials (APs) evoking depressing or facilitating postsynapti ...

Delayed and Temporally Imprecise Neurotransmission in Reorganizing Cortical Microcircuits

Graham Knott, Anne Alison Jorstad, Yuan Liu, Yan Liu

Synaptic neurotransmission is modified at cortical connections throughout life. Varying the amplitude of the postsynaptic response is one mechanism that generates flexible signaling in neural circuits. The timing of the synaptic response may also play a ro ...

Motor Control in the Mouse Whisker System

Varun Sreenivasan

The motor systems of the mammalian brain are a remarkable product of many millions of years of evolution. It is the motor systems that make us and other mammals mobile, that guide our actions in response to sensory information and conversely modulate the v ...

Early-life stress is a key risk factor for the development of neuropsychiatric disorders later in life. Neuronal cell adhesion molecules have been strongly implicated in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders and in modulating social behaviors associ ...

Pansynaptic Enlargement at Adult Cortical Connections Strengthened by Experience

Graham Knott

Behavioral experience alters the strength of neuronal connections in adult neocortex. These changes in synaptic strength are thought to be central to experience-dependent plasticity, learning, and memory. However, it is not known how changes in synaptic tr ...
