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

Michael Reimann, Sirio Bolaños‐Puchet, Jean-Denis Courcol, Daniela Egas Santander, Alexis Arnaudon, Benoît Coste, Fabien Delalondre, Thomas Delemontex, Adrien Devresse, Hugo Dictus, Alexander Dietz, András Ecker, Cyrille Favreau, Gianluca Ficarelli, Mike Gevaert, , Srikanth Ramaswamy

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.

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

Daniela Egas Santander, Christoph Pokorny, András Ecker, Jānis Lazovskis, Matteo Santoro, Jason P. Smith, Kathryn P. Hess, Ran Levi, Michael Reimann

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

Michael Reimann, Henri Riihimäki, Jason P. Smith, Jānis Lazovskis, Christoph Pokorny, Ran Levi

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