Biomechanics of single cortical neurons.
This study presents experimental results and computational analysis of the large strain dynamic behavior of single neurons in vitro with the objective of formulating a novel quantitative framework for the biomechanics of cortical neurons. Relying on the atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique, novel testing protocols are developed to enable the characterization of neural soma deformability over...
متن کاملResponses of primary somatosensory cortical neurons to controlled mechanical stimulation.
The results of psychophysical studies suggest that displacement velocity may contribute significantly to the sensation of subcortical somatosensory neurons. The cortical correlates of these phenomena, however, are not known. In the present study the responses of rapidly adapting (RA) neurons in the forelimb region of cat primary somatosensory cortex (SI) to controlled displacement of skin and h...
متن کاملCortical dynamics and biomechanics
Movement generation is the complex result of the interaction between viscoelastic properties of muscle, inertial properties of the musculo-skeletal system and spatial trajectory planning. The Equilibrium Hypothesis (EP) may simplify the control of complex biomechanical model. It however do not solve a priori the problem of trajectory planning and on-line control of speech movements. The control...
متن کاملMapping cortical mesoscopic networks of single spiking cortical or sub-cortical neurons
Understanding the basis of brain function requires knowledge of cortical operations over wide-spatial scales, but also within the context of single neurons. In vivo, wide-field GCaMP imaging and sub-cortical/cortical cellular electrophysiology were used in mice to investigate relationships between spontaneous single neuron spiking and mesoscopic cortical activity. We make use of a rich set of c...
متن کاملAction of brain-derived neurotrophic factor on function and morphology of visual cortical neurons
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is known to play a role in experience-dependent plasticity of the developing visual cortex. For example, BDNF acutely enhances long-term potentiation and blocks long-term depression in the visual cortex of young rats. Such acute actions of BDNF suggested to be mediated mainly through presynaptic mechanisms. A chronic application of BDNF to the visual cor...
