耳蜗核是中枢神经系统处理听觉信息的门户 哺乳动物。已经提出在CN中建立并行处理通道,并且这些形式 在听觉系统的较高位置进行进一步计算的基础。尽管进行了数十年的研究, CN细胞类型的列举不完整,对CN电路的描述也只是粗略的。在……里面 神经科学一般认为,神经元的分类和命名主要依赖于定性 基于人类观察能力的方法。我们已经实施了,在某些情况下 开发了用于标记、分割和分类的高通量和无偏见的新技术 3D神经元,从大规模的电子显微镜图像体积中产生。我们计划提供一份 小鼠CN的纳米级图谱或连接体,具有枚举和定位的细胞类型及其 突触连接。这一努力是不偏不倚的,因为所有神经元都将被采样。为了实现这一目标, 我们结合了四种并行的组织分析模式来进行神经元分类:形态、连通性、 分子同一性和功能。我们认为,连接性分析将定义长期提议的并行 将使用已识别细胞类型的真实生物物理模型进行功能测试的处理电路。 值得注意的是,耳蜗核包含无定形和层状的细胞组织,它们起着 所有其他大脑区域的模板。通过研究这个感觉中心的基本结构,我们 将建立神经计算的原理和结构和功能表型的方法 将适用于其他大脑区域,而不考虑其特定的神经结构。
英文摘要
The cochlear nucleus is the gateway for central nervous system processing of auditory information in mammals. It has been proposed that parallel processing channels are set up in the CN, and these form the basis for further computation at higher stations of the auditory system. Despite decades of study, enumeration of CN cell types is incomplete and CN circuitry is described only superficially. In neuroscience generally, classification and naming of neurons has relied primarily upon qualitative approaches based upon human observational capabilities. We have implemented and in some cases developed novel high-throughput and unbiased techniques for labeling, segmenting and classifying neurons in 3D, generated from large-scale electron microscopy image volumes. We propose to deliver a nanoscale map, or connectome, of the mouse CN with enumerated and localized cell types and their synaptic connections. This effort is unbiased because all neurons will be sampled. To achieve this goal, we bring together four parallel modes of tissue analysis for neuron classification: morphology, connectivity, molecular identity and function. We propose that connectivity analysis will define long-proposed parallel processing circuits that will be tested functionally using realistic biophysical models of identified cell types. Notably, the cochlear nucleus contains both amorphous and layered organizations of cells, which serve as templates for all other brain regions. By investigating the fundamental structure of this sensory center, we will establish principles of neural computation and methods for structural and functional phenotyping that will apply to other brain regions regardless of their particular neural architecture.
