What is an Electrochemical Gradient?

127.3K
Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is considered the primary energy source in cells. However, energy can also be stored in the electrochemical gradient of an ion across the plasma membrane, which is determined by two factors: its chemical and electrical gradients.
The chemical gradient relies on differences in the abundance of a substance on the outside versus the inside of a cell and flows from areas of high to low ion concentration. In contrast, the electrical gradient revolves around an...

The transplantation of neural stem/progenitor cells (NPCs) holds great promises in regenerative neurology. The systemic delivery of NPCs has turned into effective, low invasive, and therapeutically very efficacious protocol to deliver stem cells in the brain and spinal cord of rodents and nonhuman primates affected by experimental chronic inflammatory damage of the central nervous...

Galvanic vestibular stimulation in humans exhibits improvements in vestibular function. However, it is unknown how these effects occur. Here, we describe how to apply sinusoidal and stochastic electrical noise and evaluate appropriate stimulus amplitudes in individual medial vestibular nucleus neurons in the C57BL/6...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Theoretical Neuroscience
  • Dynamical Systems

Background:

  • Continuous attractor neural networks model brain states like activity bumps.
  • Noise in these networks causes bump location diffusion, limiting their accuracy.
  • Previous methods overlooked amplitude fluctuations in bump dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method analyzing both amplitude and phase fluctuations in continuous attractor networks.
  • To derive exact expressions for steady-state probability density and moments.
  • To investigate input-dependent neural variability and noise-induced extinction.

Main Methods:

  • Reduced stochastic neural field equations to finite-dimensional stochastic gradient systems.
  • Analyzed amplitude and phase dynamics of bump solutions.
  • Applied group theoretic methods to SO(2) and SO(3) symmetric attractor networks.

Main Results:

  • Derived exact expressions for steady-state probability density and moments.
  • Quantified input-dependent suppression of neural variability.
  • Investigated noise-induced transitions to bump extinction in attractor models.

Conclusions:

  • A combination of stochastic analysis and group theory offers powerful insights into noise effects in attractor networks.
  • The developed framework enhances models of neural information processing in areas like V1 and prefrontal cortex.
  • This approach provides a more accurate representation of brain states modeled by continuous attractor networks.
