Membrane potential dynamics of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in mouse barrel cortex during active whisker sensing

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Aurélie Pala, Taro Kiritani, Célia Roxane Gasselin

Neocortical neurons can increasingly be divided into well-defined classes, but their activity patterns during quantified behavior remain to be fully determined. Here, we obtained membrane potential recordings from various classes of excitatory and inhibito ...

Using the Green's function to simplify and understand dendrites

Willem Anna Mark Wybo

Neurons are endowed with dendrites: tree-like structures that collect and transform inputs. These arborizations are believed to substantially enhance the computational repertoire of neurons. While it has long been known that dendrites are not iso-potential ...

Intercellular ultrafast Ca2+ wave in vascular smooth muscle cells: numerical and experimental study

Jean-Jacques Meister, Niccolo Piacentini, Franck Claude Raynaud, Jairo Camilo Quijano Perez

Vascular smooth muscle cells exhibit intercellular Ca2+ waves in response to local mechanical or KCl stimulation. Recently, a new type of intercellular Ca2+ wave was observed in vitro in a linear arrangement of smooth muscle cells. The intercellular wave w ...

A Sparse Reformulation of the Green's Function Formalism Allows Efficient Simulations of Morphological Neuron Models

Marc-Oliver Gewaltig, Willem Anna Mark Wybo, Benjamin Torben-Nielsen, Daniele Boccalini

We prove that when a class of partial differential equations, generalized from the cable equation, is defined on tree graphs and the inputs are restricted to a spatially discrete, well chosen set of points, the Green's function (GF) formalism can be rewrit ...

The Green's function formalism as a bridge between single- and multi-compartmental modeling

Willem Anna Mark Wybo, Benjamin Torben-Nielsen

Neurons are spatially extended structures that receive and process inputs on their dendrites. It is generally accepted that neuronal computations arise from the active integration of synaptic inputs along a dendrite between the input location and the locat ...

Microelectrode-based dielectric spectroscopy of glucose effect on erythrocytes

Philippe Renaud, Ludovica Colella

The dielectric response of biconcave erythrocytes exposed to D-glucose and I.-glucose has been investigated using a double array of planar interdigitated microelectrodes on a glass microchip. Erythrocytes are analyzed under physiological conditions suspend ...

Scanning gate microscopy measurements on a superconducting single-electron transistor

Nico de Rooij, Kaspar Suter

We present measurements on a superconducting single-electron transistor (SET) in which the metallic tip of a low-temperature scanning force microscope is used as a movable gate. We characterize the SET through charge stability diagram measurements and comp ...

A benchmark test for a quantitative assessment of simple neuron models

Wulfram Gerstner, Richard Naud, Renaud Jolivet

Several methods and algorithms have recently been proposed that allow for the systematic evaluation of simple neuron models from intracellular or extracellular recordings. Models built in this way generate good quantitative predictions of the future activi ...

GDNF and NGF released by synthetic guidance channels support sciatic nerve regeneration across a long gap

Patrick Aebischer, Eric Garrison Fine

The present work was performed to determine the ability of neurotrophic factors to allow axonal regeneration across a 15-mm-long gap in the rat sciatic nerve. Synthetic nerve guidance channels slowly releasing NGF and GDNF were fabricated and sutured to th ...
