Neuronal morphologies: the shapes of thoughts

Lida Kanari

The mammalian brain, one of the most fascinating systems in nature, is a complex biological structure that has kept scientists busy for over a century. Many of the brain's mysteries have been unraveled due to the enormous efforts of the scientific communit ...

Neuromapp: A Mini-application Framework to Improve Neural Simulators

Felix Schürmann, Judit Planas Carbonell, Fabien Jonathan Delalondre, Francesco Cremonesi, Timothée Ewart

The increasing complexity and heterogeneity of extreme scale systems makes the optimization of large scale scientific applications particularly challenging. Efficiently leveraging these complex systems requires a great deal of technical expertise and a con ...

Imaging the Dynamics of Neocortical Population Activity in Behaving and Freely Moving Mammals

Carl Petersen

The development of functional imaging techniques applicable to neuroscience and covering a wide range of spatial and temporal scales has greatly facilitated the exploration of the relationships between cognition, behaviour and electrical brain activity. Fo ...

Multisensory Spatial Mechanisms of the Bodily Self and Social Cognition - A Commentary on Vittorio Gallese and Valentina Cuccio

Christian Pfeiffer

This commentary aims to find the right description of the pre-reflective brain mechanisms underlying our phenomenal experience of being a subject bound to a physical body (bodily self) and basic cognitive, perceptual, and subjective aspects related to inte ...

Wireless Neurosensor for Full-Spectrum Electrophysiology Recordings during Free Behavior

Grégoire Courtine, Hao Li, David Allenson Borton, Yao Lu, Jean François Pierre Laurens

Brain recordings in large animal models and humans typically rely on a tethered connection, which has restricted the spectrum of accessible experimental and clinical applications. To overcome this limitation, we have engineered a compact, lightweight, high ...

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 ...

Bodily ownership and self-location: Components of bodily self-consciousness

Andrea Serino

Recent research on bodily self-consciousness has assumed that it consists of three distinct components: the experience of owning a body (body ownership); the experience of being a body with a given location within the environment (self-location); and the e ...

Resting-State Functional Connectivity Emerges from Structurally and Dynamically Shaped Slow Linear Fluctuations

Patric Hagmann

Brain fluctuations at rest are not random but are structured in spatial patterns of correlated activity across different brain areas. The question of how resting-state functional connectivity (FC) emerges from the brain's anatomical connections has motivat ...

The Green's function formalism as a bridge between single- and multi-compartmental modeling

Willem Anna Mark Wybo

Neurons are spatially extended structures that receive and process inputs on their dendrites. It is generally accepted that neuronal computations arise from the active integration of synaptic inputs along a dendrite between the input location and the locat ...

Network Self-Organization Explains the Statistics and Dynamics of Synaptic Connection Strengths in Cortex

Christos Dimitrakakis

The information processing abilities of neural circuits arise from their synaptic connection patterns. Understanding the laws governing these connectivity patterns is essential for understanding brain function. The overall distribution of synaptic strength ...
