The Neocortical Column
Detailed examination of the midbrain Edinger-Westphal (EW) nucleus revealed the existence of two distinct nuclei. One population of EW preganglionic (EWpg) neurons was found to control oculomotor functions, and a separate population of EW centrally projecting (EWcp) neurons was found to contain stress- and feeding-related neuropeptides. Although it has been shown that EWcp neurons are highly re...
متن کاملRealtime Neocortical Column Visualization
This paper presents a method for real-time rendering of a neocortical column in the mouse brain with 10000 individually simulated neurons, as implemented in the software GabrielStudio (TM). It also presents how the same system is used to create movie sequences of scripted camera keyframes for high resolution outputs. The current system is running on an SGI Altix Prism Extreme with 16 parallel g...
متن کاملEmergent Properties of in silico Synaptic Transmission in a Model of the Rat Neocortical Column
The cerebral cortex occupies nearly 80% of the entire volume of the mammalian brain and is thought to subserve higher cognitive functions like memory, attention and sensory perception. The neocortex is the newest part in the evolution of the cerebral cortex and is perhaps the most intricate brain region ever studied. The neocortical microcircuit is the smallest ‘ecosystem’ of the neocortex that...
متن کاملThe hippocampo-neocortical dialogue.
In gross anatomical terms, the hippocampal archicortex can be conceived as an "appendage' of the large neocortex. In contrast to neocortical areas, the main output targets of the hippocampus are the same as its main inputs (i.e., the entorhinal cortex). Highly processed information about the external world (the content) reaches the hippocampus via the entorhinal cortex, whereas information abou...
متن کاملP15: Hippocampus-Neocortical Communication in Learning
The hippocampus is located in the medial temporal lobe and is a part of the forebrain. It plays a critical role in formation of declared memories. The hippocampus is banana­-shaped and communicates with all parts of neocortex. Reptiles and birds have structures like hippocampus that potentially serve as navigation functions. During the mammalian evolution, the neocortex has a large expansio...
