Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distributed coding hypothesis —the view that complex cognitive functions such as visual perception or memory formation are the work of large networks of neurons in areas of the cerebral cortex —is widely accepted in contemporary neuroscience. Yet only in recent years have tools emerged that can monitor the electrophysiological activity of neuron ensembles in the cortical areas of awake, behaving animals. The use of these multichannel recording techniques in biological network analysis is changing the way scientists view brain function. These methods also offer the possibility of a direct test of the distributed coding hypothesis. Neuronal Ensembles: Strategies for Recording and Decoding presents a comprehensive treatment of multichannel recording techniques —how to apply them and how to analyze the vast amounts of data they generate. Composed of contributions by leading neuroscientists at the forefront of this technology, the book covers groundbreaking work in multichannel microelectrode technology, analyses of single neuron spike trains, and ensemble analysis of cell populations. The authors outline established techniques, offer practical tips on developing new methods, and share their ideas for further brain research. Topics covered include: Extracellular recording and analysis of neural activity The relationship between neuronal codes and cortical organization Cell assemblies and cognitive function Neuronal population coding Motor cortical information processing Detection and identification of ensemble codes in the motor cortex Ensemble recordings and the nature of stimulus representation in hippocampal cognitive maps Methods, results, and issues related to recording neural ensembles Neuronal ensemble dynamics in the hippocampus and neocortex during sleep and waking Behavioral, electrophysiological, and genetic approaches to the study of synaptic plasticity and memory Neuronal Ensembles: Strategies for Recording and Decoding is an important reference for researchers, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows in all areas of neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, and bioengineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classical view of neural computation is that it can be characterized in terms of convergence to attractor states or sequential transitions among states in a noisy background. After over three decades, is this still a valid model of how brain dynamics implements cognition? This book provides a comprehensive collection of recent theoretical and experimental contributions addressing the question of stable versus transient neural population dynamics from complementary angles. These studies showcase recent efforts for designing a framework that encompasses the multiple facets of metastability in neural responses, one of the most exciting topics currently in systems and computational neuroscience.

Book excerpt: Neuronal cells (neurons) mainly transmit signals by action potentials or spikes.Neuronal electrical activity is recorded from experimental animals bymicroelectrodesplaced in specific brain areas. These electrochemical fast phenomenaoccur as all-or-none events and can be analyzed as boolean sequences. Followingthis approach, several computational analyses reported most variable neuronalbehaviors expressed through a large variety of firing patterns [13]. Thesepatternshave been modeled as symbolic strings with a number of different techniques[23, 55]The results obtained with these methods come (i) from Ventrobasal ThalamicNuclei (VB) and Somatosensory Cortex (SSI) in Chronic Pain Animals (CPAs), (ii) from Primary Visual (V1) and (SSI) in rat Cortices and, finally, (iii) fromIL human Thalamus Nuclei in patients suffering from states of disorderedconsciousnesslike Persistent Vegetative State (PVS) and Minimum Conscious State(MCS).

This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The orexin system, discovered in 1998, has emerged as a crucial player in regulating the sleep and wake balance inside our brain. This discovery has sparked a burst of novel and dynamic research on the physiology and pathology of sleep. The Orexin System: Basic Science and Role in Sleep Pathology honors this research and the authors share their ideas and perspectives on the novel developments within the field. The book examines the intricate role of the orexin system in regulating sleep and wake, and its interaction with other wake-regulating systems. The orexin system is dissected at the cellular and molecular level to explore the diversity of the orexin-producing neurons, their projections, and their signaling pathways. Additionally, the book discusses the diseases which are associated with a dysfunctional orexin system, such as narcolepsy, insomnia, substance abuse, and Alzheimer’s disease, and explores the new potential therapeutic applications derived from the burst of research around this fascinating system. This publication is essential reading for neurobiologists, neurologists, psychopharmacologists, sleep researchers, and other researchers and clinical scientists interested in sleep, sleep research, insomnia, and medicine in general.
