The original NeuroML paper
|
Towards NeuroML: Model Description Methods for Collaborative Modelling in Neuroscience, Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 356, 1209-1228. Nigel Goddard, Michael Hucka, Fred Howell, Hugo Cornelis, Kavita Shankar, David Beeman |
The original NeuroML introductory paper. Although the language has evolved significantly since this paper (with a focus now on key elements which need to be transferred between neuroinformatics applications, as represented by MorphML, ChannelML and NeuroML, see Gleeson et al. 2010 above for details) the key aims of NeuroML as outlined in this paper, including clarity, portability and modularity of neuronal model descriptions, remain the same. |
Combined experimental and modelling investigations
|
Synaptic depression enables neuronal gain control, Nature 2009 Jason S. Rothman, Laurence Cathala, Volker Steuber, R. Angus Silver |
(Silver Lab) An experimental and modelling paper looking at the effects of short term plasticity on gain control. Used neuroConstruct to investigate a detailed layer 5 pyramidal cell model (Kole et al 2008) with dendritically distributed excitatory and inhibitory synaptic input. |
|
Rapid Desynchronization of an Electrically Coupled Interneuron Network with Sparse Excitatory Synaptic Input, Neuron 2010 Vervaeke, K. and Lőrincz, A. and Gleeson, P. and Farinella, M. and Nusser, Z. and Silver, R. A. |
(Silver Lab) A highly detailed electrically coupled cerebellar Golgi cell network was created using neuroConstruct to help explain experimental data related to the spread of desynchronisation in this network following sparse synaptic activation. Experimental data on gap junction location, distance dependent coupling strengths, reconstructed cells and realistic conductances were used in the construction of the model. |

Gap junctions compensate for sub-linear dendritic integration in an inhibitory network, Science 2012 Vervaeke, K. and Lőrincz, A. and Nusser, Z. and Silver, R. A. |
(Silver Lab) This study found that the dendrites of cerebellar Golgi cells have no significant voltage-gated ion channels and therefore integrate input sub-linearly. Their dendrites are however coupled by gap junctions, predominantly in the molecular layer. These allow synaptic charge to be shared among cells and compensate for sub-linear integration. |
