Associations between in vitro, in vivo and in silico cell classes in mouse primary visual cortex

Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Anatoly Buchin

The brain consists of many cell classes yet in vivo electrophysiology recordings are typically unable to identify and monitor their activity in the behaving animal. Here, we employed a systematic approach to link cellular, multi-modal in vitro properties f ...

Lessons on brain edema in HE: from cellular to animal models and clinical studies

Katarzyna Pierzchala, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu, Jessie Julie Mosso

Brain edema is considered as a common feature associated with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). However, its central role as cause or consequence of HE and its implication in the development of the neurological alterations linked to HE are still under debate. I ...
