Neural Circuits

1.1K
Neural circuits and neuronal pools are two of the main structures found in the nervous system. Neural circuits are networks of neurons that work together to carry out a specific task or process. They consist of interconnected neurons and glial cells, which provide structural and metabolic support.
Neuronal pools are collections of nerve cells with similar functions and interact through chemical and electrical signals. These pools include both interneurons (the central neural circuit nodes that...

Spinal Cord: Information Processing

1.2K
The spinal cord is an integral hub for motor and sensory information that enables the brain to communicate with the peripheral nervous system (PNS). This communication consists of relaying sensory data and transmission of motor commands.
Sensory Information Processing
Sensory information processing begins at the sensory receptors located in the skin and other tissues, which detect somatic sensory stimuli such as touch, temperature, or pain. These receptors function as catalysts, initiating...

Neurogenesis and Regeneration of Nervous Tissue

758
In the CNS, neurogenesis, the birth of new neurons from stem cells, is limited to the hippocampus in adults. In other regions of the brain and spinal cord, neurogenesis is almost non-existent due to inhibitory influences from neuroglia, especially oligodendrocytes, and the absence of growth-stimulating cues. The myelin produced by oligodendrocytes in the CNS inhibits neuronal regeneration. Furthermore, astrocytes proliferate rapidly after neuronal damage, forming scar tissue that physically...

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Computational Neuroscience
    • Motor Control

    Background:

    • The mammalian spinal locomotor network comprises diverse interneurons crucial for orchestrating movement.
    • Understanding how spinal interneuron networks compute and modify locomotor output remains a significant challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between spinal interneuron population activity and locomotor output.
    • To uncover how neural dynamics at millisecond timescales influence step-by-step motor control.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of lumbar interneuron population recordings and multi-muscle electromyography in spinalized cats performing air stepping.
    • Application of artificial intelligence methods to identify state space trajectories of interneuron population activity.

    Main Results:

    • Specific regions in the interneuron state space trajectories corresponded to millisecond-timescale adjustments in extensor-flexor alternation.
    • Variations in trajectory paths were tightly linked to microvolt-scale adjustments in muscle output magnitude on a single-step basis.

    Conclusions:

    • Spinal interneuron population activity dynamics, when analyzed via state space trajectories, precisely capture variations in locomotor timing and muscle activation magnitude.
    • This study provides a high-resolution view of neural computations underlying motor control at the level of individual steps.
