Relating Neuronal Firing Patterns to Functional Differentiation of Cerebral Cortex
It has been empirically established that the cerebral cortical areas defined by Brodmann one hundred years ago solely on the basis of cellular organization are closely correlated to their function, such as sensation, association, and motion. Cytoarchitectonically distinct cortical areas have different densities and types of neurons. Thus, signaling patterns may also vary among cytoarchitectonic...
متن کاملHeterogeneous neuronal firing patterns during interictal epileptiform discharges in the human cortex.
Epileptic cortex is characterized by paroxysmal electrical discharges. Analysis of these interictal discharges typically manifests as spike-wave complexes on electroencephalography, and plays a critical role in diagnosing and treating epilepsy. Despite their fundamental importance, little is known about the neurophysiological mechanisms generating these events in human focal epilepsy. Using thr...
متن کاملDistinct firing patterns of neuronal subtypes in cortical synchronized activities.
Cortical neurons, especially GABAergic interneurons, are composed of very diverse subtypes. It remains to be investigated whether each subtype shows a unique firing pattern during the synchronized activities generated by the intracortical circuit. By lowering extracellular Mg(2+) in vitro, we induced NMDA receptor-dependent spontaneous activities in the rat frontal cortex at 30 degrees C. After...
متن کاملNeuronal polarization in the developing cerebral cortex
Cortical neurons consist of excitatory projection neurons and inhibitory GABAergic interneurons, whose connections construct highly organized neuronal circuits that control higher order information processing. Recent progress in live imaging has allowed us to examine how these neurons differentiate during development in vivo or in in vivo-like conditions. These analyses have revealed how the in...
متن کاملActivity-Independent Effects of CREB on Neuronal Survival and Differentiation during Mouse Cerebral Cortex Development.
Neuronal survival and morphological maturation depends on the action of the transcription factor calcium responsive element binding protein (CREB), which regulates expression of several target genes in an activity-dependent manner. However, it remains largely unknown whether CREB-mediated transcription could play a role at early stages of neuronal differentiation, prior to the establishment of ...
