Recording simultaneously from essentially all of the relevant neurons in a local circuit is crucial to understand how they collectively represent information. Here we show that the combination of a large, dense multielectrode array and a novel, mostly automated spike-sorting algorithm allowed us to record simultaneously from a highly overlapping population of >200 ganglion cells in the salamander retina. By combining these methods with labeling and imaging, we showed that up to 95% of the ganglion cells over the area of the array were recorded. By measuring the coverage of visual space by the receptive fields of the recorded cells, …

I(A) Channels Encoded By Kv1.4 And Kv4.2 Regulate Neuronal Firing In The Suprachiasmatic Nucleus And Circadian Rhythms In Locomotor Activity, Daniel Granados-Fuentes, Aaron J. Norris, Yarimar Carrasquillo, Jeanne M. Nerbonne, Erik D. Herzog Jul 2012

I(A) Channels Encoded By Kv1.4 And Kv4.2 Regulate Neuronal Firing In The Suprachiasmatic Nucleus And Circadian Rhythms In Locomotor Activity, Daniel Granados-Fuentes, Aaron J. Norris, Yarimar Carrasquillo, Jeanne M. Nerbonne, Erik D. Herzog

Open Access Publications

Neurons in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) display coordinated circadian changes in electrical activity that are critical for daily rhythms in physiology, metabolism, and behavior. SCN neurons depolarize spontaneously and fire repetitively during the day and hyperpolarize, drastically reducing firing rates, at night. To explore the hypothesis that rapidly activating and inactivating A-type (I(A)) voltage-gated K(+) (Kv) channels, which are also active at subthreshold membrane potentials, are critical regulators of the excitability of SCN neurons, we examined locomotor activity and SCN firing in mice lacking Kv1.4 (Kv1.4(-/-)), Kv4.2 (Kv4.2(-/-)), or Kv4.3 (Kv4.3(-/-)), the pore-forming (α) subunits of I(A) channels. Mice lacking …

Detection Thresholds Of Macaque Otolith Afferents, Xiong-Jie Yu, J David Dickman, Dora E. Angelaki Jun 2012

Detection Thresholds Of Macaque Otolith Afferents, Xiong-Jie Yu, J David Dickman, Dora E. Angelaki

Open Access Publications

The vestibular system is our sixth sense and is important for spatial perception functions, yet the sensory detection and discrimination properties of vestibular neurons remain relatively unexplored. Here we have used signal detection theory to measure detection thresholds of otolith afferents using 1 Hz linear accelerations delivered along three cardinal axes. Direction detection thresholds were measured by comparing mean firing rates centered on response peak and trough (full-cycle thresholds) or by comparing peak/trough firing rates with spontaneous activity (half-cycle thresholds). Thresholds were similar for utricular and saccular afferents, as well as for lateral, fore/aft, and vertical motion directions. When computed …


Synaptic Nmda Receptors Mediate Hypoxic Excitotoxic Death, Christine M. Wroge, Joshua Hogins, Larry Eisenman, Steven Mennerick May 2012

Synaptic Nmda Receptors Mediate Hypoxic Excitotoxic Death, Christine M. Wroge, Joshua Hogins, Larry Eisenman, Steven Mennerick

Open Access Publications

Excessive NMDA receptor activation and excitotoxicity underlies pathology in many neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders, including hypoxia/ischemia. Thus, the development of effective therapeutics for these disorders demands a complete understanding of NMDA receptor (NMDAR) activation during excitotoxic insults. The extrasynaptic NMDAR hypothesis posits that synaptic NMDARs are neurotrophic/neuroprotective and extrasynaptic NMDARs are neurotoxic. The extrasynaptic hypothesis is built in part on observed selectivity for extrasynaptic receptors of a neuroprotective use-dependent NMDAR channel blocker, memantine. In rat hippocampal neurons, we found that a neuroprotective concentration of memantine shows little selectivity for extrasynaptic NMDARs when all receptors are tonically activated by exogenous glutamate. …

Open Access Publications

Axonal degeneration is a molecular self-destruction cascade initiated following traumatic, toxic, and metabolic insults. Its mechanism underlies a number of disorders including hereditary and diabetic neuropathies and the neurotoxic side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Molecules that promote axonal degeneration could represent potential targets for therapy. To identify such molecules, we designed a screening platform based on intoxication of Drosophila larvae with paclitaxel (taxol), a chemotherapeutic agent that causes neuropathy in cancer patients. In Drosophila, taxol treatment causes swelling, fragmentation, and loss of axons in larval peripheral nerves. This axonal loss is not due to apoptosis of neurons. Taxol-induced axonal degeneration …


Neuronal Encoding Of Subjective Value In Dorsal And Ventral Anterior Cingulate Cortex, Xinying Cai, Camillo Padoa-Schioppa Mar 2012

Neuronal Encoding Of Subjective Value In Dorsal And Ventral Anterior Cingulate Cortex, Xinying Cai, Camillo Padoa-Schioppa

Open Access Publications

We examined the activity of individual cells in the primate anterior cingulate cortex during an economic choice task. In the experiments, monkeys chose between different juices offered in variables amounts and subjective values were inferred from the animals' choices. We analyzed neuronal firing rates in relation to a large number of behaviorally relevant variables. We report three main results. First, there were robust differences between the dorsal bank (ACCd) and the ventral bank (ACCv) of the cingulate sulcus. Specifically, neurons in ACCd but not in ACCv were modulated by the movement direction. Furthermore, neurons in ACCd were most active before …
