Functional trade-offs in white matter axonal scalingSamuel S H Wang
Department of Molecular Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA
J Neurosci 28:4047-56. 2008..The heterogeneous white matter composition found in large brains thus reflects a metabolically constrained trade-off that reduces both volume and conduction time...- Functional tradeoffs in axonal scaling: implications for brain functionSamuel S H Wang
Department of Molecular Biology and Princeton Neuroscience Institute, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
Brain Behav Evol 72:159-67. 2008..In this framework, an examination of axon tract composition can yield insights into neural circuit function in regard to energetics, processing speed, spike timing precision, and average rates of neural activity... - Scaling laws in the mammalian neocortex: does form provide clues to function?Kimberly H Harrison
Department of Molecular Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
J Neurocytol 31:289-98. 2002..Taken together, these approaches illustrate the benefits of a synthesis between comparative neuroanatomy and biophysics... - Speed limits in the cerebellum: constraints from myelinated and unmyelinated parallel fibersKrysta D Wyatt
Department of Molecular Biology, Lewis Thomas Laboratory, Washington Road, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA
Eur J Neurosci 21:2285-90. 2005..These axons were 0.4-1.1 microm wide, have expected conduction times of 0.5-1.0 ms, and may convey fast feedforward inhibition via basket cells to Purkinje cells... - Brain architecture and social complexity in modern and ancient birdsMark J Burish
Department of Molecular Biology and Program in Neuroscience, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
Brain Behav Evol 63:107-24. 2004..Telencephalic volume fraction may be an anatomical substrate for social complexity, and perhaps cognitive ability, that can be generalized across a range of vertebrate brains, including dinosaurs... - Dissection of bidirectional synaptic plasticity into saturable unidirectional processesGayle M Wittenberg
Department of Molecular Biology and Program in Neuroscience, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
J Neurophysiol 94:1565-73. 2005..Variation in the distribution of initial synaptic strengths predicts a form of metaplasticity and can account for differences in learning rules observed under several physiological and genetic manipulations... - Graded bidirectional synaptic plasticity is composed of switch-like unitary eventsGayle M Wittenberg
Department of Molecular Biology and Program in Neuroscience, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102:9679-84. 2005..Under naïve conditions, approximately three-fourths of synapses began in a low-strength state. The timing of these unitary events can account for the time course of macroscopic synaptic plasticity... - Identification and clustering of event patterns from in vivo multiphoton optical recordings of neuronal ensemblesIlker Ozden
Department of Molecular Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA
J Neurophysiol 100:495-503. 2008..Our methods should be generally useful for analyzing multicellular activity recordings in a variety of brain structures...
