From lamprey to salamander: an exploratory modeling study on the architecture of the spinal locomotor networks in the salamander

The evolutionary transition from water to land required new locomotor modes and corresponding adjustments of the spinal "central pattern generators" for locomotion. Salamanders resemble the first terrestrial tetrapods and represent a key animal for the stu ...

Short-term ionic plasticity at GABAergic synapses

Henry Markram

Fast synaptic inhibition in the brain is mediated by the pre-synaptic release of the neurotransmitter γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA)and the post-synaptic activation of GABA-sensitive ionotropic receptors. As with excitatory synapses, it is being increasinly ap ...

Analysis of Neuronal Microcircuits in L2/3 of Mouse Barrel Cortex

Michael Avermann

Neocortical microcircuits are thought to contribute importantly to the sophisticated processing abilities of the mammalian brain. Neurons within the neocortex communicate with each other through releasing the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate or the in ...

Membrane potential dynamics of GABAergic neurons in the barrel cortex of behaving mice

Carl Petersen, Michael Avermann

Computations in cortical circuits are mediated by synaptic interactions between excitatory and inhibitory neurons, and yet we know little about their activity in awake animals. Here, through single and dual whole-cell recordings combined with two-photon mi ...

Targeted overexpression of the parkin substrate Pael-R in the nigrostriatal system of adult rats to model Parkinson's disease

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Jean-Charles Bensadoun, Julien Dusonchet

Loss of function of parkin, an ubiquitin ligase, is responsible for autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (AR-JP). Parkin-associated endothelin receptor-like receptor (Pael-R) was identified as an authentic substrate of parkin and is thought to accumul ...

Comprehensive spatiotemporal transcriptomic analyses of the ganglionic eminences demonstrate the uniqueness of its caudal subdivision

Mauro Delorenzi, Didier Surdez, Susan Willi Monnerat

The elucidation of mechanisms underlying telencephalic neural development has been limited by the lack of knowledge regarding the molecular and cellular aspects of the ganglionic eminence (GE), an embryonic structure that supplies the brain with diverse se ...
