Geometric constraints on neuronal connectivity facilitate a concise synaptic adhesive code.
The nervous system contains trillions of neurons, each forming thousands of synaptic connections. It has been suggested that this complex connectivity is determined by a synaptic "adhesive code," where connections are dictated by a variable set of cell surface proteins, combinations of which form neuronal addresses. The estimated number of neuronal addresses is orders of magnitude smaller than ...
متن کاملSynaptic connectivity in engineered neuronal networks.
In this study, we have demonstrated a method to organize cells in dissociated cultures using engineered chemical clues on the culture surface and determined their connectivity patterns. Although almost all elements of the synaptic transmission machinery between neurons or between neurons and muscle fibers can be studied separately in single-cell models in dissociated cultures, the difficulty of...
متن کاملSynaptic connectivity in cultured hypothalamic neuronal networks.
We have developed a novel approach to analyze the synaptic connectivity of spontaneously active networks of hypothalamic neurons in culture. Synaptic connections were identified by recording simultaneously from pairs of neurons using the whole cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique and testing for evoked postsynaptic current responses to electrical stimulation of one of the neurons. Ex...

متن کاملSpike-Triggered Regression for Synaptic Connectivity Reconstruction in Neuronal Networks
How neurons are connected in the brain to perform computation is a key issue in neuroscience. Recently, the development of calcium imaging and multi-electrode array techniques have greatly enhanced our ability to measure the firing activities of neuronal populations at single cell level. Meanwhile, the intracellular recording technique is able to measure subthreshold voltage dynamics of a neuro...
