It is critical to quantitatively analyse the developing human fetal brain in order fully understand neurodevelopment both normal fetuses and those with congenital disorders. To facilitate this analysis, automatic multi-tissue segmentation algorithms are needed, which turn requires open databases of segmented brains. Here we introduce a publicly available database 50 manually pathological non-pathological magnetic resonance volume reconstructions across range gestational ages (20 33 weeks)...

SUMMARY In recent years, we and others have identified a number of enhancers that, when incorporated into rAAV vectors, can restrict the transgene expression to particular neuronal populations. Yet, viral tools access manipulate fine subtypes are still limited. Here, performed systematic analysis single cell genomic data identify enhancer candidates for each cortical interneuron subtypes. We established set enhancer-AAV that highly specific distinct populations striatal cholinergic neurons....

Abstract Mapping the structure of mammalian brain at cellular resolution is a challenging task and one that requires capturing key anatomical features appropriate level analysis. Although neuroscientific methods have managed to provide significant insights micro macro level, in order obtain whole-brain analysis meso-scopic approach. A number can be currently used detect count cells, with, nevertheless, limitations when analyzing data high complexity. To overcome some these constraints, we...

Abstract Vasocative-intestinal-peptide (VIP + ) and somatostatin (SST interneurons are involved in modulating barrel cortex activity perception during active whisking. Here we identify a developmental transition point of structural functional rearrangements onto these around the start sensation at P14. Using vivo two-photon Ca 2+ imaging, find that before P14, both interneuron types respond stronger to multi-whisker stimulus, whereas after P14 their responses diverge, with VIP cells losing...
