Classification of single neurons at a brain-wide scale is way to characterize the structural and functional organization brains. Here we acquired standardized large morphology database 20,158 mouse generated potential connectivity map based on their dendritic axonal arbors. With such an anatomy–morphology–connectivity mapping, defined neuron subtypes for in 31 brain regions. We found that cell types by show distinct separation from each other. Within this context, were able diversity...
We examined the distribution of pre-synaptic contacts in axons mouse neurons and constructed whole-brain single-cell neuronal networks using an extensive dataset 1,891 fully reconstructed neurons. found that bouton locations were not homogeneous throughout axon among brain regions. As our algorithm was able to generate connectivity matrices from full morphology reconstruction datasets, we further non-homogeneous have a significant impact on network wiring, including degree distribution,...

Cognitive disorders, including Down syndrome (DS), present significant morphological alterations in neuron architectural complexity. However, the relationship between neuromorphological and impaired brain function is not fully understood. To address this gap, we propose a novel computational model that accounts for observed cell deformations DS. The consists of cross-sectional layer mouse motor cortex, composed 3000 neurons. network connectivity obtained by accounting explicitly two...
The full morphology of single neurons is indispensable for understanding cell types, the basic building blocks in brains. Projecting trajectories are critical to extracting biologically relevant information from neuron morphologies, as they provide valuable both connectivity and identity. We developed an artificial intelligence method, deep sequential model (DSM), extract concise, cell-type-defining features projections across brain regions. DSM achieves more than 90% accuracy classifying 12...
Classifications of single neurons at brain-wide scale is a powerful way to characterize the structural and functional organization brain. We acquired standardized large morphology database 20,158 mouse neurons, generated whole-brain potential connectivity map based on their dendritic axonal arbors. With such an anatomy-morphology-connectivity mapping, we defined neuron types subtypes (both called "c-types" for simplicity) in 31 brain regions. found that neuronal by same regions may share...
Summary We examined the distribution of pre-synaptic contacts in axons mouse neurons and constructed whole-brain single-cell neuronal networks using an extensive dataset 1891 fully reconstructed neurons. found that bouton locations were not homogeneous throughout axon also among brain regions. As our algorithm was able to generate connectivity matrices from full morphology reconstruction datasets, we further non-homogeneous have a significant impact on network wiring, including degree...
In this study, we investigated the impact of Dual specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A (Dyrk1A) overexpression, a gene associated with Down syndrome, on hippocampal neuronal deficits in mice. Our findings revealed that mice overexpressing Dyrk1A (TgDyrk1A; TG) exhibited impaired recognition memory, disrupted excitation-inhibition balance, and long-term potentiation (LTP). Specifically, observed layer-specific dendritic arborization TG CA1 pyramidal neurons stratum...

Abstract Changes to neuronal morphology and loss of neurites synaptic connections can be an important early indicator neurological diseases, a pathognomonic sign neurodevelopmental disorders. These changes are typically detectable by microscopy in cell culture or histological samples, but quantification challenging. The extending from soma quite thin, dim, overlapping complex, making them laborious trace manually difficult annotate quantify computationally automatically. Moreover, the tools...

Abnormal dendritic arbors, spine "dysgenesis" and excitation inhibition imbalance are main traits assumed to underlie impaired cognition behavioral adaptation in intellectual disability. However, how these modifications actually contribute functional properties of neuronal networks, such as signal integration or storage capacity is unknown. Here, we used a mouse model overexpressing
