Brain Wiring in the Fourth Dimension
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this issue of Cell, Langen et al. use time-lapse multiphoton microscopy to show how Drosophila photoreceptor growth cones find their targets. Based on the observed dynamics, they develop a simple developmental algorithm recapitulating the highly complex connectivity pattern of these neurons, suggesting a basic framework for establishing wiring specificity.

Discovering the wiring diagram of the brain
he brain, the seat of our cognitive abilities, is perhaps the most complex puzzle in all of biology. Every second in the human brain, billions of cortical nerve cells transmit billions of messages and perform extraordinarily complex computations. How the brain works—how its function follows from its structure—remains a mystery. The brain's vast numbers of nerve cells are interconnected at synap...
متن کاملBiocytin-Based Contrast Agents for Molecular Imaging: An Approach to Developing New In Vivo Neuroanatomical Tracers for MRI
One of the most striking characteristic of the brain is its profuse neuronal connectivity. Not surprisingly, the function of the nervous system critically depends on the spatiotemporal pattern of intercommunication between different regions of the brain. Both macroand microscopic aspects of the wiring diagrams of brain circuits are relevant and need to be understood in order to cope with the co...
متن کاملAnalysis of Resting-State fMRI Topological Graph Theory Properties in Methamphetamine Drug Users Applying Box-Counting Fractal Dimension
Introduction: Graph theoretical analysis of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data has provided new measures of mapping human brain in vivo. Of all methods to measure the functional connectivity between regions, Linear Correlation (LC) calculation of activity time series of the brain regions as a linear measure is considered the most ubiquitous one. The strength of the dependence obl...
متن کاملSignal Correlation Prediction Using Convolutional Neural Networks
This paper focuses on analysing multiple time series relationships such as correlations between them. We develop a solution for the Connectiomics contest dataset of fluorescence imaging of neural activity recordings – the aim is reconstruction of the wiring between brain neurons. The model is implemented to achieve high evaluation score. Our model took the fourth place in this contest. The perf...
متن کاملModified Tension Band Wiring in Adult Distal Humeral Fracture Types A2 and C1
Background: Distal humeral fractures accounts for approximately 2% of all fractures and nearly one-third of humeralfractures in adults. In this regard, Modified Tension Bind Wiring (MTBW) technique was used for the fixation of the distalhumeral fractures type A2 and C1 (AO) to evaluate the early movement and complications of the patients.Methods: This study was conducted on 25...
