A population of gap junction-coupled neurons drives recurrent network activity in a developing visual circuit.
In many regions of the vertebrate brain, microcircuits generate local recurrent activity that aids in the processing and encoding of incoming afferent inputs. Local recurrent activity can amplify, filter, and temporally and spatially parse out incoming input. Determining how these microcircuits function is of great interest because it provides glimpses into fundamental processes underlying brai...
متن کاملEmergence of population synchrony in a layered network of the cat visual cortex
Recently, a quantitative wiring diagram for the local neuronal network of cat visual cortex was described [T. Binzegger, R.J. Douglas, K.A.C. Martin, A quantitative map of the circuit of the cat primary visual cortex, J. Neurosci. 39 (24) (2004) 8441–8453.] giving the first complete estimate of synaptic connectivity among various types of neurons in different cortical layers. Here we numericall...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of a New Neural Network for Routing in Mesh Interconnection Networks
Routing is one of the basic parts of a message passing multiprocessor system. The routing procedure has a great impact on the efficiency of a system. Neural algorithms that are currently in use for computer networks require a large number of neurons. If a specific topology of a multiprocessor network is considered, the number of neurons can be reduced. In this paper a new recurrent neural ne...

متن کاملDistribution of the gap junction protein connexin 35 in the central nervous system of developing zebrafish larvae
Gap junctions are membrane specializations that allow the passage of ions and small molecules from one cell to another. In vertebrates, connexins are the protein subunits that assemble to form gap junctional plaques. Connexin-35 (Cx35) is the fish ortholog of mammalian Cx36, which is enriched in the retina and the brain and has been shown to form neuronal gap junctions. As a first step toward u...
