Cortical cell assemblies and their underlying connectivity: an in silico study

Michael Reimann, András Ecker, Sirio Bolaños Puchet, James Bryden Isbister, Daniela Egas Santander

Recent developments in experimental techniques have enabled simultaneous recordings from thousands of neurons, enabling the study of functional cell assemblies. However, determining the patterns of synaptic connectivity giving rise to these assemblies rema ...

Principles of Network Plasticity in Neocortical Microcircuits

András Ecker

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 ...

Plasticity of sensory representations in the posterior insular cortex during fear learning

Denys Osypenko

Aversively-motivated associative learning allows animals to avoid harm and thus ensures survival. Aversive learning can be studied by the fear learning paradigm, in which an innocuous sensory stimulus like a tone (conditioned stimulus, CS), acquires a nega ...

Label-Free Long-Term Methods for Live Cell Imaging of Neurons: New Opportunities

Georg Fantner, Zahra Ayar Dulabi, Samuel Mendes Leitão

Time-lapse light microscopy combined with in vitro neuronal cultures has provided a significant contribution to the field of Developmental Neuroscience. The establishment of the neuronal polarity, i.e., formation of axons and dendrites, key structures resp ...

Investigating cognitive ability using action-based models of structural brain networks

Enrico Amico

Recent developments in network neuroscience have highlighted the importance of developing techniques for analysing and modelling brain networks. A particularly powerful approach for studying complex neural systems is to formulate generative models that use ...

HippoUnit: A software tool for the automated testing and systematic comparison of detailed models of hippocampal neurons based on electrophysiological data

Eilif Benjamin Muller, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Armando Romani, Szabolcs Kali, Carmen Alina Lupascu, Rosanna Migliore, Luca Leonardo Bologna, Sàra Sàray, Shailesh Appukuttan

Anatomically and biophysically detailed data-driven neuronal models have become widely used tools for understanding and predicting the behavior and function of neurons. Due to the increasing availability of experimental data from anatomical and electrophys ...

In Silico Voltage-Sensitive Dye Imaging: A Model-Based Approach for Bridging Scales of Cortical Activity

Taylor Howard Newton

An understanding of how microscale voltage fluctuations interact to shape mesoscale cortical information processing is lacking. Voltage-sensitive dye imaging (VSDI) is a powerful technique for interrogating membrane potential dynamics in assemblies of cort ...

How single neuron properties shape chaotic dynamics and signal transmission in random neural networks

Wulfram Gerstner, Tilo Schwalger, Samuel Pavio Muscinelli

While most models of randomly connected neural networks assume single-neuron models with simple dynamics, neurons in the brain exhibit complex intrinsic dynamics over multiple timescales. We analyze how the dynamical properties of single neurons and recurr ...

Layer, cell-type and pathway-specific thalamocortical input to mouse somatosensory cortex

Berat Semihcan Sermet

In the mouse whisker system, sensory information is relayed to the whisker somatosensory cortex by two major thalamic nuclei, the ventral posterior medial nucleus (VPM) and the posterior medial nucleus (POM). While the cortical axonal innervation pattern o ...
