The Laminar Cortex Model: A New Continuum Cortex Model Incorporating Laminar Architecture
Local field potentials (LFPs) are widely used to study the function of local networks in the brain. They are also closely correlated with the blood-oxygen-level-dependent signal, the predominant contrast mechanism in functional magnetic resonance imaging. We developed a new laminar cortex model (LCM) to simulate the amplitude and frequency of LFPs. Our model combines the laminar architecture of...
متن کاملLaminar fate specification in the cerebral cortex
The cerebral cortex is composed of hundreds of different types of neurons, which underlie its ability to perform highly complex neural processes. How this astonishing cell diversity is generated during development constitutes a major challenge in developmental neurosciences, with important implications for neurological diseases. Here we review some recent and exciting advances in this field, fr...
متن کاملNon-laminar cerebral cortex in teleost fishes?
A large skull is disadvantageous to animals that move quickly in three-dimensional space, such as fishes and birds in water or air. A cerebral neocortex with a six-layered sheet has not evolved, most likely due to the limited cranial space. Instead of the laminar cortex, telencephalic nuclear masses seem to have evolved as the pallium in teleost fishes. We consider that the nuclear masses conta...
متن کاملTowards a theory of the laminar architecture of cerebral cortex: computational clues from the visual system.
One of the most exciting and open research frontiers in neuroscience is that of seeking to understand the functional roles of the layers of cerebral cortex. New experimental techniques for probing the laminar circuitry of cortex have recently been developed, opening up novel opportunities for investigating how its six-layered architecture contributes to perception and cognition. The task of try...
متن کاملThe Method of Laminar Thermocoagulation of the Cerebral Cortex *
In 1933 the method of laminar thermocoagulation of the cerebral cortex was described.' 2 This allows one to destroy, at will, any number of cortical layers, and has the following additional advantages: ( 1 ) the continuity of the cortex is undisturbed, (2) no bleeding occurs, (3) the killed region is strictly confined to the heated area, (4) the cortex immediately outside the killed area is fun...
