Subcortical correlates of consciousness with human single neuron recordings
Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira
Subcortical brain structures such as the basal ganglia or the thalamus are involved in regulating motor and cognitive behavior. However, their contribution to perceptual consciousness is still unclear, due to the inherent difficulties of recording subcorti ...
2024White adipose tissue distribution and amount are associated with increased white matter connectivity
Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, Elda Fischi Gomez, Philipp Johannes Koch, Liana Okudzhava
Obesity represents a significant public health concern and is linked to various comorbidities and cognitive impairments. Previous research indicates that elevated body mass index (BMI) is associated with structural changes in white matter (WM). However, a ...
Hoboken2024Impact of Mitofusin 2 in the Nucleus Accumbens on motivated behavior and underlying neurobiological mechanisms
The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is part of the ventral striatum and plays a major role in motivation and goal-directed behaviour. Increasing evidence implicates impairments in accumbal function in anxiety and depression, two conditions that are commonly accomp ...
EPFL2024Task-driven neural network models predict neural dynamics of proprioception: Neural network model weights
Alexander Mathis, Alberto Silvio Chiappa, Alessandro Marin Vargas, Axel Bisi
Proprioception tells the brain the state of the body based on distributed sensors in the body. However, the principles that govern proprioceptive processing from those distributed sensors are poorly understood. Here, we employ a task-driven neural network ...
EPFL Infoscience2024Cortical 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 ...
2024Thalamic contributions to psychosis susceptibility: Evidence from co-activation patterns accounting for intra-seed spatial variability (μCAPs)
Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Farnaz Delavari, Nada Kojovic
The temporal variability of the thalamus in functional networks may provide valuable insights into the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. To address the complexity of the role of the thalamic nuclei in psychosis, we introduced micro-co-activation patterns ( ...
Wiley2024Fear learning induces synaptic potentiation between engram neurons in the rat lateral amygdala
Henry Markram, Rodrigo de Campos Perin
The lateral amygdala (LA) encodes fear memories by potentiating sensory inputs associated with threats and, in the process, recruits 10-30% of its neurons per fear memory engram. However, how the local network within the LA processes this information and w ...
Nature Portfolio2024Uncovering interactions between Descending Neurons as a functional principle of behavioural control
Animals, including humans, exhibit a remarkable variety of complex behaviours. How the nervous system controls all these behaviours ranging from simple, stereotyped movements to flexible, adaptive actions is a central questions of neuroscience. One of the ...
EPFL2024The mouse motor system contains multiple premotor areas and partially follows human
Valerio Zerbi, Joanes Grandjean
While humans are known to have several premotor cortical areas, secondary motor cortex (M2) is often considered to be the only higher -order motor area of the mouse brain and is thought to combine properties of various human premotor cortices. Here, we sho ...
Cell Press2024Involvement of prelimbic cortex neurons and related circuits in the acquisition of a cooperative learning by pairs of rats
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Elias Georges Gebara, Ana del Rocio Conde Moro
Social behaviors such as cooperation are crucial for mammals. A deeper knowledge of the neuronal mechanisms underlying cooperation can be beneficial for people suffering from pathologies with impaired social behavior. Our aim was to study the brain activit ...
