Book excerpt: One hundred years ago Ernst Mach published the first of his several quantitative studies on the interdependence of neighboring elements in the retina. However, Mach's application of mathematical modes of thought to the study of the nervous system was so far ahead of the times that his papers attracted little attention when they first appeared. Within recent years considerable interest has developed in the mathematical analysis of the properties of complex neural networks. The main reason for this seemingly belated development of interest is that only within the last quarter-century or so have the techniques of electrophysiology finally become sufficiently advanced to provide a sound empirical foundation for such studies. The interplay of the fundamental neural processes of excitation and inhibition, about which Mach could only speculate, can now be observed directly and with relative ease in practically all parts of the nervous system.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neural circuits rely on the interaction between excitation and inhibition to process information and require an appropriate balance between the two to avoid pathological consequences. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the principal neurotransmitter mediating inhibition in the adult central nervous system (CNS). However, during development GABAergic transmission is excitatory. Understanding the transition from excitatory to inhibitory GABA provides insight into the development of mature brain function as well as devising treatments for diseases involving imbalanced excitation and inhibition. A leading hypothesis is that neural activity plays a critical role in the transition from excitatory to inhibitory GABAergic transmission. Here I studied the role of neural activity in regulating the timing of the GABA switch in neurons in the ganglion cell layer of the mouse retina. I used three different knockout mice to demonstrate that the timing of the GABA switch is independent of nicotinic cholinergic activity, retinal waves, and glutamatergic activity. To further explore the role of activity in regulating the GABA switch, I developed a retinal explant model system in which neural activity could be pharmacologically manipulated. Blockade of GABA receptor-mediated activity did not prevent the transition from excitatory to inhibitory GABA, in contrast to previous observations in hippocampus and retina. Further, sustained blockade of glutamate receptors, GABA receptors, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, glycine receptors, voltage-gated sodium channels, gap junctions, and L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) did not alter the transition. These results suggest that neuronal activity is not required for the transition from excitatory to inhibitory GABA in the mouse retina. To determine if the GABA switch is independent of signaling from other cell types, I cultured purified retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in isolation. I found that purified RGCs did not develop an inhibitory response to GABA. These results indicate that unlike other parts of the nervous system, the transition from excitatory to inhibitory GABA signaling in mouse RGCs does not depend on activity but requires activity-independent signaling from another cell type.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains twenty-two original contributions that provide a comprehensive overview of computational approaches to understanding a single neuron structure. The focus on cellular-level processes is twofold. From a computational neuroscience perspective, a thorough understanding of the information processing performed by single neurons leads to an understanding of circuit- and systems-level activity. From the standpoint of artificial neural networks (ANNs), a single real neuron is as complex an operational unit as an entire ANN, and formalizing the complex computations performed by real neurons is essential to the design of enhanced processor elements for use in the next generation of ANNs.The book covers computation in dendrites and spines, computational aspects of ion channels, synapses, patterned discharge and multistate neurons, and stochastic models of neuron dynamics. It is the most up-to-date presentation of biophysical and computational methods.

Download or read book Basic Electrophysiological Methods written by Ellen Covey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basic Electrophysiological Methods provides a concise and easy-to-read guide on a selection of the most important contemporary electrophysiological techniques, their implementation, applications, and ways in which they can be combined and integrated with neuroscientific techniques. Intended for students, postdocs, and faculty with a basic neuroscience background, this text will not obscure the relevant technical details with textbook neuroscience tutorials as many other books do. Instead, each chapter provides a conscientious overview of the underlying theory -- a comprehensive description of equipment, materials, methods, data management, and analysis -- a troubleshooting guide, and a list of frequently asked questions. No book or online resource can function as strictly a DIY set of instructions on how to implement a complex technique. However, this book provides a fundamental and accessible set of information intended to form a foundation prior to, during, and after hands-on experience and training, greatly facilitating the initial learning process and subsequent fine-tuning of technical details.
