The paper quantifies morphoelectric properties of inhibitory neurons across cortical depth in rat and mouse brains, finding depth-dependent shifts that apply to all cell types and molecular subtypes.

The paper shows thalamocortical axons target specific dendritic domains in pyramidal tract neurons to enable calcium-dependent spiking and modulate cortical output through sensory input.

The paper identifies cortical areas controlling a single rat vibrissa muscle, revealing non-primary motor and somatosensory regions play significant roles in motor output.

This study characterizes the morphological, electrophysiological, and neuromodulatory properties of FOXP2-expressing corticothalamic pyramidal cells in rat neocortical layers 6a and 6b, showing their distinct responses to acetylcholine and dopamine.

The paper introduces a method to predict synaptic connectivity from neural tissue reconstructions, showing three assumptions can explain connectivity in mouse and human datasets.

The paper develops interpretable models to reveal how synaptic inputs drive action potential output in layer 5 pyramidal tract neurons during sensory stimulation.

This paper introduces simulation-based Bayesian inference to efficiently identify generative models in connectomics by inferring wiring rule parameters from empirical data.

BigNeuron benchmarks automatic neuron reconstruction algorithms using gold standard annotations and image quality metrics, showing that consensus methods outperform individual algorithms.

The paper shows that neuron morphology influences cortical network architecture by shaping recurrent or feedforward connectivity patterns based on dendritic and axonal properties.

The paper shows that cortical pyramidal neurons optimize ion channel distributions for energy-efficient dendritic computations, selecting configurations with low potassium channel density in distal dendrites.

The paper identifies border stratum cells in the neocortex that receive and relay thalamocortical inputs, showing they can drive sensory responses before layer 4.
