A Guide for the Multiplexed: The Development of Visual Feature Maps in the Brain

Vanessa J. Li et al.

Summary: Neural maps are widely present in the brain and encode behaviorally relevant features into neural space. The mechanisms of map formation, organizational properties, and roles of maps in cortical functions are important topics of investigation.

A microcircuit model involving parvalbumin, somatostatin, and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide inhibitory interneurons for the modulation of neuronal oscillation during visual processing

Nobuhiko Wagatsuma et al.

Summary: Different subtypes of inhibitory interneurons play important roles in organizing cortical networks and regulating neuronal responses. PV and SOM neurons preferentially induce firing at different frequencies, while VIP neurons play a crucial role in attentional modulation for low-gamma frequency.

Cortical layer-specific differences in stimulus selectivity revealed with high-field fMRI and single-vessel resolution optical imaging of the primary visual cortex

Shinho Cho et al.

Summary: The study reveals that laminar differences in neuronal circuitry are not necessarily reflected in hemodynamic signals. By examining the primary visual cortex in cats, it was found that orientation selectivity in cortical layer 4 was significantly lower compared to layer 2/3 in response to visual stimuli.

The Role of Inhibitory Interneurons in Circuit Assembly and Refinement Across Sensory Cortices

Camilo Ferrer et al.

Summary: Sensory information is transduced and processed by neural circuits in the cortex, and the development of these circuits is influenced by sensory experience. In mice, these circuits mature shortly after birth and undergo changes in response to sensory stimuli during critical periods. Understanding the role of specific neuronal subtypes and inhibitory circuits in cortical development and function is crucial for understanding sensory processing.

A theory of cortical map formation in the visual brain

Sohrab Najafian et al.

Summary: Najafian et al. propose a developmental theory of map formation in the cerebral cortex, suggesting that increasing density of thalamic afferents sampling sensory space leads to greater segregation of stimulus dimensions in cortical maps. They illustrate the theory with an afferent-density model that accurately replicates maps in different species and suggest that the theory may extend to other sensory areas of the mammalian brain.

The Influence of Neural Activity and Neural Cytoarchitecture on Cerebrovascular Arborization: A Computational Model

Bhadra S. Kumar et al.

Summary: The normal functioning of the brain relies on the interaction between neurons and blood vessels, which begins at the embryonic stage and continues into subsequent developmental stages. A proposed Vascular Arborization Model (VAM) describes the growth of the vascular tree and captures the effect of neural activity on vascular branch density.

Neurovascular coupling: motive unknown

Patrick J. Drew

Summary: In the brain, increases in neural activity lead to changes in local blood flow through neurovascular coupling. However, the traditional explanation that increased blood flow supplies the metabolic needs of active neurons is inconsistent with a large body of evidence. Neurovascular coupling is irregular or absent in many brain regions and states, and increased respiration can improve brain oxygenation without changes in blood flow. Simulation studies suggest that low blood flow areas are inevitable due to the brain's vascular architecture and cannot be eliminated by functional hyperemia. This article discusses potential alternative functions of neurovascular coupling such as supplying oxygen for neuromodulator synthesis, regulating brain temperature, signaling to neurons, optimizing cerebral vascular structure, accommodating non-Newtonian blood flow, and driving cerebrospinal fluid circulation.

3D optogenetic control of arteriole diameter in vivo

Philip J. O'Herron et al.

Summary: This study presents an optical method to manipulate and monitor the contractility of brain arterioles in mice with high spatiotemporal resolution. By expressing the red-shifted excitatory opsin ReaChR and using light pulses for two-photon activation, highly localized arteriole contractions can be achieved. The method can be used to study arteriole contractile dynamics, produce transient focal blood flow reductions, and reshape vasodilatory responses to sensory stimulation.

Plasma Hsp90 levels in patients with systemic sclerosis and relation to lung and skin involvement: a cross-sectional and longitudinal study

Hana Storkanova et al.

Summary: According to the study, plasma levels of Hsp90 are increased in patients with systemic sclerosis compared to healthy controls, and are associated with increased inflammatory activity, worsened lung function, and extent of skin involvement in patients with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis. In patients with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease treated with cyclophosphamide, baseline Hsp90 levels can predict changes in DLCO over 12 months of therapy.

Inverse neurovascular coupling contributes to positive feedback excitation of vasopressin neurons during a systemic homeostatic challenge

Ranjan K. Roy et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that neurovascular coupling responses exist not only in superficial brain areas but also in deeper and functionally diverse brain regions. The findings show that acute salt loading gradually increases vasopressin neuronal activity in the hypothalamus and induces vasoconstriction to reduce local blood flow, leading to a local hypoxic microenvironment.

Tightly coupled inhibitory and excitatory functional networks in the developing primary visual cortex

Haleigh N. Mulholland et al.

Summary: The study found that before visual experience, spontaneous activity in inhibitory neurons is already highly organized in distributed modular networks, in quantitative agreement with excitatory networks. Additionally, excitatory and inhibitory networks are strongly co-aligned at different scales.

A Network Architecture for Bidirectional Neurovascular Coupling in Rat Whisker Barrel Cortex

Bhadra S. Kumar et al.

Summary: Neurovascular coupling is a bidirectional system where neurons transmit signals to blood vessels for vasodilation, and vessels feedback available oxygen to fuel neural firing. This feedback mechanism influences the formation of neuronal maps in both normal and pathological conditions such as hypoxia and hypoxia-ischemia.
