Inferring functional connections between neurons.
A central question in neuroscience is how interactions between neurons give rise to behavior. In many electrophysiological experiments, the activity of a set of neurons is recorded while sensory stimuli or movement tasks are varied. Tools that aim to reveal underlying interactions between neurons from such data can be extremely useful. Traditionally, neuroscientists have studied these interacti...
متن کاملSynaptic enhancement induced dynamical change of functional connections between neurons in living neuronal networks
The neurons in dissociated culture system formed living neuronal networks autonomously, elongating neurites and establishing synaptic connections. The neuronal networks were re-organized depending spontaneous electrical activities. The spatio-temporal patterns of activity in these networks might reflect functional neuron assemblies. The functional connections between neurons were modified dynam...
متن کاملFormation of functional synaptic connections between cultured cortical neurons from agrin-deficient mice.
Numerous studies suggest that the extracellular matrix protein agrin directs the formation of the postsynaptic apparatus at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Strong support for this hypothesis comes from the observation that the high density of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) normally present at the neuromuscular junction fails to form in muscle of embryonic agrin mutant mice. Agrin is expressed...
متن کاملChemical and electrotonic connections between Aplysia neurons in primary culture.
Dissociated Aplysia neurons will regenerate neurites and form functional connections in primary cell cultures. The specificity of intercellular connectivity in these cultures was investigated by coculturing neurosecretory bag cells with neurons dissociated from the buccal ganglion. It was found that bag-bag and buccal-buccal electrotonic synapses form with high frequency, consistent with previo...
متن کاملCorrelational Strength and Computational Algebra of Synaptic Connections Between Neurons
Intracellular recordings in spinal cord motoneurons and cerebral cortex neurons have provided new evidence on the correlational strength of monosynaptic connections, and the relation between the shapes of postsynaptic potentials and the associated increased firing probability. In these cells, excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) produce crosscorrelogram peaks which resemble in large part ...
