  2. 1. Information processing in the Striatum : a computational study

    Author : Johannes Hjorth; Jeanette Hellgren Kotaleski; Anders Lansner; Kim Blackwell; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; striatum; fast spiking interneuron; gap junctions; synchronisation; up-state detection; CaMKII; mathematical modelling; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : The basal ganglia form an important structure centrally placed in the brain. They receive input from motor, associative and limbic areas, and produce output mainly to the thalamus and the brain stem. The basal ganglia have been implied in cognitive and motor functions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Neuromodulation shapes interneuron communication in the mouse striatum

    Author : Matthijs Constantijn Dorst; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A proper understanding of cognition relies on detailed knowledge about the functional connectivity within and between brain areas. The striatum is generally regarded as the input structure to the basal ganglia, a group of subcortical nuclei that have been demonstrated to be involved in motor function and reward, amongst other functions.

  5. 3. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and endocannabinoid functions in gabaergic interneuron development

    Author : Paul Berghuis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Formation of the cerebral cortex is controlled by tightly regulated processes: the proliferation and survival decisions of neural progenitors, radial and tangential migration of neuronal precursors, axon guidance and dendritic growth underpinning the formation of synapses. Patterning of the neocortex has been extensively studied and significant progress has been made in understanding the principles of cortical neuronal circuit formation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Neocortical layer 2/3 microcircuits

    Author : Carl Holmgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Neocortical microcircuit; layer 2 3; pyramidal cell; FSN interneuron; retrograde signaling; VGLUT3; spike-timing dependent plasticity; LTP; LTD.;

    Abstract : Pairs of interconnected neurons form elementary information processing units within neocortical microcircuits. Pyramidal cells within these microcircuits receive synaptic input, both from their connected partners, and from more distant cortical and sub-cortical regions. Consequently, they require a means to identify relevant synaptic signals. READ MORE

  7. 5. Aminergic regulation of neuronal synchrony in the hippocampus

    Author : Richard Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Gamma oscillations (25-80 Hz) are physiological electric activity patterns, prevalent in the brain, which are associated with attention, working memory, sensory perception, long-term memory encoding and recall. Importantly, in mental illnesses featuring cognitive disturbances (such as Schizophrenia or Alzheimer’s disease) there are concomitant disturbances of gamma oscillations. READ MORE
