Selective Manipulation of Neural Circuits [PDF]
Neurotherapeutics, 2016 Unraveling the complex network of neural circuits that form the nervous system demands tools that can manipulate specific circuits. The recent evolution of genetic tools to target neural circuits allows an unprecedented precision in elucidating their function. Here we describe two general approaches for achieving circuit specificity. The first uses the

Neural circuitry coordinating male copulation
eLife, 2016 Copulation is the goal of the courtship process, crucial to reproductive success and evolutionary fitness. Identifying the circuitry underlying copulation is a necessary step towards understanding universal principles of circuit operation, and how ...

Genetic Dissection of Neural Circuits [PDF]
Neuron, 2008 Understanding the principles of information processing in neural circuits requires systematic characterization of the participating cell types and their connections, and the ability to measure and perturb their activity. Genetic approaches promise to bring experimental access to complex neural systems, including genetic stalwarts such as the fly and ...

Broadcasting of Cortical Activity to the Olfactory Bulb
Cell Reports, 2015 Odor representations are initially formed in the olfactory bulb, which contains a topographic glomerular map of odor molecular features. The bulb transmits sensory information directly to piriform cortex, where it is encoded by distributed ensembles of ...

Genetically Generated Neural Networks I: Representational Effects [PDF]
, 1992 This paper studies several applications of genetic algorithms (GAs) within the neural networks field. After generating a robust GA engine, the system was used to generate neural network circuit architectures.

Reliability of an interneuron response depends on an integrated sensory state
eLife, 2019 The central nervous system transforms sensory information into representations that are salient to the animal. Here we define the logic of this transformation in a Caenorhabditis elegans integrating interneuron.

Drug-induced change in transmitter identity is a shared mechanism generating cognitive deficits
Nature CommunicationsCognitive deficits are long-lasting consequences of drug use, yet the convergent mechanism by which classes of drugs with different pharmacological properties cause similar deficits is unclear. We find that both phencyclidine and methamphetamine, despite

Versatile stochastic dot product circuits based on nonvolatile memories for high performance neurocomputing and neurooptimization. [PDF]
, 2019 The key operation in stochastic neural networks, which have become the state-of-the-art approach for solving problems in machine learning, information theory, and statistics, is a stochastic dot-product.
