Modeling and Simulation of Rat Non-Barrel Somatosensory Cortex. Part I: Modeling Anatomy

The paper creates a detailed computational model of rat somatosensory cortex anatomy, including 4.2 million neurons and 14.2 billion synapses, and identifies limitations in connectivity prediction from morphology.

Brain serotonin circuit reverses decline in physical activity with age

The paper identifies a brain serotonin circuit that contributes to age-related decline in physical activity and shows it can be reversed by targeting specific receptors.

Heterogeneous and higher-order cortical connectivity undergirds efficient, robust and reliable neural codes

The paper shows that heterogeneous and higher-order cortical connectivity allows neural networks to balance efficiency and robustness by supporting subpopulations with different roles.

Topology of synaptic connectivity constrains neuronal stimulus representation, predicting two complementary coding strategies

The paper shows that synaptic connectivity influences neuronal stimulus encoding, revealing two distinct coding strategies in a microcircuit.
