چکیده
The mouse neocortex is now the focus of research using twenty-first century techniques of circuit analyses, which are revealing different wiring strategies for excitatory and inhibitory connections and providing important insights into the possible computations of cortical circuits.

متن کاملParcellation and area-area connectivity as a function of neocortex size.
Via the accumulation of data from across the neuroanatomy literature, we estimate the manner in which (i) the number of neocortical areas varies with neocortex size, and (ii) the number of area-area connections varies with neocortex size. Concerning parcellation, we find that the number of areas scales approximately as the 1/3 power of gray matter volume, or, equivalently, as the square root of...
متن کاملDescribing behavioral states using a system model of the primate brain.
A system model of the primate neocortex is presented, based mainly on the neuroanatomy of the rhesus macaque monkey and consisting of a set of processing modules arranged as a perception-action hierarchy. These modules correspond to regions of the neocortex and their connectivity to that of the neocortex. A computational approach based on predicate logic is explained, and the results of a compu...
متن کاملThe effects of lifelong blindness on murine neuroanatomy and gene expression
Mammalian neocortical development is regulated by neural patterning mechanisms, with distinct sensory and motor areas arising through the process of arealization. This development occurs alongside developing central or peripheral sensory systems. Specifically, the parcellation of neocortex into specific areas of distinct cytoarchitecture, connectivity and function during development is reliant ...
متن کاملScaling laws in the mammalian neocortex: does form provide clues to function?
Although descriptions of form have been a mainstay of comparative neuroanatomy, less well explored is the use of quantitative approaches, especially at the cellular level. In the neocortex, many gross and cellular anatomical measures show striking regularities over a wide range of brain sizes. Here we review our recent efforts to accurately characterize these scaling trends and explain them in ...
