Geometric and Functional Analysis of Microcircuit Dynamics
Microcircuits, also known as local circuits, involve an excitatory recurrent feedback system,projection neurons,and inhibitory interneurons. Microcircuits are thought to serve as the morphological and functional units of brain function from sensation and locomotion to emotion and cognition. Is the architecture of microcircuits established deterministically or probabilistically? Is the functiona...
متن کاملPrefrontal cortical minicolumn: from executive control to disrupted cognitive processing.
The prefrontal cortex of the primate brain has a modular architecture based on the aggregation of neurons in minicolumnar arrangements having afferent and efferent connections distributed across many brain regions to represent, select and/or maintain behavioural goals and executive commands. Prefrontal cortical microcircuits are assumed to play a key role in the perception to action cycle that ...
متن کاملFunctional features of the rat subicular microcircuits studied in vitro.
The subiculum has a strategic position in controlling hippocampal activity and is now receiving much experimental attention. However, information regarding this structure remains fragmented and there are important gaps in our knowledge between what we know about the subicular architecture and its biological function. In recent years a substantial amount of in vitro experimentation has explored ...
متن کاملMapping dynamical properties of cortical microcircuits using robotized TMS and EEG: Towards functional cytoarchitectonics
Brain dynamics at rest depend on the large-scale interactions between oscillating cortical microcircuits arranged into macrocolumns. Cytoarchitectonic studies have shown that the structure of those microcircuits differs between cortical regions, but very little is known about interregional differences of their intrinsic dynamics at a macro-scale in human. We developed here a new method aiming a...
متن کاملOp-brai150232 1..16
Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizures and brief, synchronous bursts called interictal spikes that are present in-between seizures and observed as transient events in EEG signals. While GABAergic transmission is known to play an important role in shaping healthy brain activity, the role of inhibition in these pathological epileptic dynamics remains unclear. Examining the microcircuits ...
