A computational model of cuneothalamic projection neurons.
The dorsal column nuclei, cuneatus and gracilis, play a fundamental role in the processing and integration of somesthetic ascending information. Intracellular and patch-clamp recordings obtained in cat in vivo have shown that cuneothalamic projection neurons present two modes of activity: oscillatory and tonic (Canedo et al 1998 Neuroscience 84 603-17). The former is the basis of generating, in...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Cardiopulmonary sympathetic input excites primate cuneothalamic neurons: comparison with spinothalamic tract neurons.
Stimulation of cardiopulmonary sympathetic afferent fibers excites thoracic and cervical spinothalamic tract (STT) cells that respond primarily to noxious somatic stimuli. Neurons in dorsal column nuclei respond primarily to innocuous somatic inputs, but noxious stimulation of pelvic viscera activates gracile neurons. The purpose of this study was to compare effects of thoracic visceral input o...
متن کاملA computational model of anterior intraparietal (AIP) neurons
The monkey parietal anterior intraparietal area (AIP) is part of the grasp planning and execution circuit which contains neurons that encode object features relevant for grasping, such as the width and the height. In this study we focus on the formation of AIP neurons during grasp development. We propose and implement a neural network structure and a learning mechanism that is driven by success...
متن کاملA computational model of electrically coupled , intrinsically distinct pacemaker neurons
Electrical coupling between neurons with similar properties is often studied. Nonetheless, the role of electrical coupling between neurons with widely different intrinsic properties also occurs, but is less well-understood. Inspired by the pacemaker group of the crustacean pyloric network, we developed a multi-compartment, conductance-based model of a small network of intrinsically distinct, el...
