Reconstruction and Simulation of Neocortical Microcircuitry

Henry Markram, +92 more
- 08 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: A first-draft digital reconstruction of the microcircuitry of somatosensory cortex of juvenile rat is presented, finding a spectrum of network states with a sharp transition from synchronous to asynchronous activity, modulated by physiological mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Statistical connectivity provides a sufficient foundation for specific functional connectivity in neocortical neural microcircuits

TL;DR: It is found that random alignment of axonal and dendritic arbors provides a sufficient foundation for specific functional connectivity to emerge in local neural microcircuits, suggesting that chemospecific steering and aligning of the arbors may occur for some types of connections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced long term microcircuit plasticity in the valproic acid animal model of autism

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the neocortex is highly plastic in response to new experiences in this animal model of autism and that LTMP, which is normally restricted to within a minicolumn, spills over to drive hyperconnectivity across the dimensions of a min Nicolumn.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Blue Brain Project: calibrating the neocortical column.

TL;DR: The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to reverse-engineer and model the neocortical column, to explore how it functions and to serve as a tool for neuroscientists and medical researchers.
