A computational biophysical model of thalamic and reticular nucleus microcircuitry: from neurons to emergent network dynamics

Elisabetta Iavarone

The thalamus, once believed to be a simple relay station between the body periphery and the neocortex, has started to be recognized as a key player in higher-order functions, such as attention. It participates in the transition between brain states, such a ...

Deconvolution of Sustained Neural Activity From Large-Scale Calcium Imaging Data

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Fikret Isik Karahanoglu, Younes Farouj

Recent technological advances in light-sheet microscopy make it possible to perform whole-brain functional imaging at the cellular level with the use of Ca2+ indicators. The outstanding spatial extent and resolution of this type of data open unique opportu ...

Somatostatin enhances visual processing and perception by suppressing excitatory inputs to parvalbumin-positive interneurons in V1

Graham Knott, Carl Petersen, Catherine Maclachlan

Somatostatin (SST) is a neuropeptide expressed in a major subtype of GABAergic interneurons in the cortex. Despite abundant expression of SST and its receptors, their modulatory function in cortical processing remains unclear. Here, we found that SST appli ...

Modulation of epileptic networks by transient interictal epileptic activity: A dynamic approach to simultaneous EEG-fMRI

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti

Epileptic networks, defined as brain regions involved in epileptic brain activity, have been mapped by functional connectivity in simultaneous electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG-fMRI) recordings. This technique allows to ...

Spiking Neural Networks Trained With Backpropagation For Low Power Neuromorphic Implementation Of Voice Activity Detection

Giorgia Dellaferrera, Flavio Martinelli

Recent advances in Voice Activity Detection (VAD) are driven by artificial and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), however, using a VAD system in battery-operated devices requires further power efficiency. This can be achieved by neuromorphic hardware, which ...

Anatomically and functionally distinct thalamocortical inputs to primary and secondary mouse whisker somatosensory cortices

Carl Petersen, Georgios Foustoukos, Berat Semihcan Sermet, Sami El-Boustani

Subdivisions of mouse whisker somatosensory thalamus project to cortex in a region-specific and layer-specific manner. However, a clear anatomical dissection of these pathways and their functional properties during whisker sensation is lacking. Here, we us ...

Mesoscopic population equations for spiking neural networks with synaptic short-term plasticity

Wulfram Gerstner, Tilo Schwalger, Valentin Marc Schmutz

Coarse-graining microscopic models of biological neural networks to obtain mesoscopic models of neural activities is an essential step towards multi-scale models of the brain. Here, we extend a recent theory for mesoscopic population dynamics with static s ...

Inferring and validating mechanistic models of neural microcircuits based on spike-train data

Olivier Richard Hagens

The interpretation of neuronal spike train recordings often relies on abstract statistical models that allow for principled parameter estimation and model selection but provide only limited insights into underlying microcircuits. In contrast, mechanistic m ...

Experimentally-constrained biophysical models of tonic and burst firing modes in thalamocortical neurons

Henry Markram, Sean Lewis Hill, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Ying Shi, Christian O'Reilly, Christian Andreas Rössert, Elisabetta Iavarone, Bas-Jan Zandt, Jane Yi

Somatosensory thalamocortical (TC) neurons from the ventrobasal (VB) thalamus are central components in the flow of sensory information between the periphery and the cerebral cortex, and participate in the dynamic regulation of thalamocortical states inclu ...

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 ...
