We implemented computational models of human and rat cortical neurons for simulating the neural response to cortical stimulation with electromagnetic fields. Approach. We adapted model neurons from the library of Blue Brain models to reflect biophysical and geometric properties of both adult rat and human cortical neurons and coupled the model neurons to exogenous electric fields (E-fields). The models included 3D reconstructed axonal and dendritic arbors, experimentally-validated electrophysiological behaviors, and multiple, morphological variants within cell types. -

It has been proposed that feed-forward inputs to basal dendrites drive a neuron’s stimulus preference, while feedback inputs to apical dendrites sharpen selectivity. However, how a neuron’s dendritic domains relate to its functional selectivity has not been demonstrated experimentally. We performed 2-photon dendritic micro-dissection on layer- 2/3 pyramidal neurons in mouse primary visual cortex. We found that removing the apical dendritic tuft did not alter orientation-tuning. Furthermore, orientation-tuning curves were remarkably robust to the removal of basal dendrites: ablation of 2-3 basal dendrites was needed to cause a small shift in orientation preference, without significantly altering tuning width. -

Action Potentials in Basal and Oblique Dendrites of Rat Neocortical Pyramidal Neurons Srdjan D
Physiology in Press; published online on May 9, 2003 as 10.1113/jphysiol.2002.033746 J Physiol (2003), xxx.x, pp. 000–000 DOI: 10.1113/jphysiol.2002.033746 © The Physiological Society 2003 www.jphysiol.org Action potentials in basal and oblique dendrites of rat neocortical pyramidal neurons Srdjan D. Antic Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology, and Department of Neurobiology, Yale University School of Medicine, 333 Cedar Street, New Haven, CT 06520, USA Basal and oblique dendrites comprise ~2/3 of the total excitable membrane in the mammalian cerebral cortex, yet they have never been probed with glass electrodes, and therefore their electrical properties and overall impact on synaptic processing are unknown. In the present study, fast multi- site voltage-sensitive dye imaging combined with somatic recording was used to provide a detailed description of the membrane potential transients in basal and oblique dendrites of pyramidal neurons during single and trains of action potentials (APs). The optical method allowed simultaneous measurements from several dendrites in the visual field up to 200 mm from the soma, thus providing a unique report on how an AP invades the entire dendritic tree. In contrast to apical dendrites, basal and oblique branches: (1) impose very little amplitude and time course modulation on backpropagating APs; (2) are strongly invaded by the somatic spike even when somatic firing rates reach 40 Hz (activity-independent backpropagation); and (3) do not exhibit signs of a ‘calcium shoulder’ on the falling phase of the AP. A compartmental model incorporating AP peak latencies and half-widths obtained from the apical, oblique and basal dendrites indicates that the specific intracellular resistance (Ri) is less than 100 V cm. -

Open-mindedness and, at the same time, a strong sense for scien- ti¯c value are of particular importance and delicacy in a ¯eld at the interface between empirical biological diversity and mathematical rigor. Leo van Hem- men combines both in his attitude and has always promoted the according style of work. Moreover, I like to thank the individuals who populated this environment. They always were supportive in that each one of them showed sincere interest in the other's scienti¯c concerns. More subtilely, the distinguished sense of humor that we shared helped to overcome one or the other tense period.

During brain development, subplate neurons (SPNs) are a largely transient population that serves a critical role to establish functional cortical circuits. By dynamically integrating into developing cortical circuits, they assist in consolidation of intra- cortical and extracortical circuits. Although SPNs reside in close proximity to cerebral white matter, which is particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress, the susceptibility of SPNs remains controversial. We determined SPN responses to two common insults to the preterm brain: hypoxia-ischemia and hypoxia. We used a preterm fetal sheep model using both sexes that reproduces the spectrum of human cerebral injury and abnormal cortical growth. Unlike oligodendrocyte progenitors, SPNs displayed pronounced resistance to early or delayed cell death from hypoxia or hypoxia-ischemia. -
Autism Spectrum Disorder Susceptibility Gene TAOK2 Affects
ART ic LE s Autism spectrum disorder susceptibility gene TAOK2 affects basal dendrite formation in the neocortex Froylan Calderon de Anda1,2, Ana Lucia Rosario1,2, Omer Durak1–3, Tracy Tran2,4,5, Johannes Gräff1,2, Konstantinos Meletis1–3,5, Damien Rei1,2, Takahiro Soda1,2, Ram Madabhushi1,2, David D Ginty2,4, Alex L Kolodkin2,4 & Li-Huei Tsai1–3 How neurons develop their morphology is an important question in neurobiology. Here we describe a new pathway that specifically affects the formation of basal dendrites and axonal projections in cortical pyramidal neurons. We report that thousand-and-one- amino acid 2 kinase (TAOK2), also known as TAO2, is essential for dendrite morphogenesis. TAOK2 downregulation impairs basal dendrite formation in vivo without affecting apical dendrites. Moreover, TAOK2 interacts with Neuropilin 1 (Nrp1), a receptor protein that binds the secreted guidance cue Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A). TAOK2 overexpression restores dendrite formation in cultured cortical neurons from Nrp1Sema− mice, which express Nrp1 receptors incapable of binding Sema3A. TAOK2 overexpression also ameliorates the basal dendrite impairment resulting from Nrp1 downregulation in vivo. Finally, Sema3A and TAOK2 modulate the formation of basal dendrites through the activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). These results delineate a pathway whereby Sema3A and Nrp1 transduce signals through TAOK2 and JNK to regulate basal dendrite development in cortical neurons. Pyramidal neurons are abundant in brain regions associated with through the activation of JNK11. TAOK2 is subjected to alternative complex cognitive functions, including the cortex, hippocampus and splicing to produce the TAOK2α (140 kDa) and TAOK2β (120 kDa) amygdala1. -
