To test an idea that neurons in the motor cortex encodes a future state of the arm, we constructed a plausible model using arm state-related variables to explain neuronal activity, and applied a multiple linear regression analysis. We found that the model fit was fairly good with a mean determination coefficient of 0.57 for analyzed 231 neurons and that neuronal activity preceded the actual movement of the arm with 66 ms on average. Presuming that the brain follows optimal feed back control theory, these findings suggest that the motor cortex may contain a forward model of the arm.

Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) regulate diverse aspects of mammalian physiology, including the synchronization of circadian rhythms with local time. These neurons sense light with a receptor called melanopsin and provide practically all retinal innervation of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the master clock. Their activity is especially important over long timescales. How do ipRGCs respond to light, what signals do they send downstream, and to what extent are these signals tailored to circadian photoregulation? This chapter provides practical guidance for studying ipRGC signals in the ex vivo mouse retina using patch-clamp electrophysiology and optical stimulation. Somatic and axonal recording are covered, as are methods that include loose, cell attached, whole cell, and perforated patch. Also discussed are how particular features of the ipRGC light response affect the design and interpretation of experiments. These approaches may be useful in the broader effort to understand how a neuron’s functional properties align with its role in the organism. less

Optogenetics enables experimental control over neural activity using light. Channelrhodopsin and its variants are typically activated using visible light excitation but can also be activated using infrared two-photon excitation. Two-photon excitation can improve the spatial precision of stimulation in scattering tissue but has several practical limitations that need to be considered before use. Here we describe the methodology and best practices for using two-photon optogenetic stimulation of neurons within the brain of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, with an emphasis on projection neurons of the antennal lobe. less

How do populations of neurons work together to control behavior? To study this issue, our group simultaneously records from populations of neurons across multiple electrodes in multiple brain regions during operant behavior. Here, we describe methods for quantifying the relationship between neuronal population activity and performance of operant behavioral tasks. We describe statistical techniques, based on time- and trial-shuffling, that can establish the significance of correlations between multiple and simultaneously recorded spike trains. Then, we describe several approaches to studying functional interactions between neurons, including principal component analysis, cross-correlation analysis, analyses of rate correlations, and analyses of shared predictive information. Finally, we compare these techniques using a sample data set and discuss how the combined use of these techniques can lead to novel insights regarding neuronal interactions during behavior. less

Spike encoding of sound consists in converting a sound waveform into spikes. It is of interest in many domains, including the development of audio-based spiking neural network applications, where it is the first and a crucial stage of processing. Many spike encoding techniques exist, but there is no systematic approach to quantitatively evaluate their performance. This work proposes the use of three efficiency metrics based on information theory to solve this problem. The first, coding efficiency, measures the fraction of information that the spikes encode on the amplitude of the input signal. The second, computational efficiency, measures the information encoded subject to abstract computational costs imposed on the algorithmic operations of the spike encoding technique. The third, energy efficiency, measures the actual energy expended in the implementation of a spike encoding task. These three efficiency metrics are used to evaluate the performance of four spike encoding techniques for sound on the encoding of a cochleagram representation of speech data. The spike encoding techniques are: Independent Spike coding, Send-on-Delta coding, Ben's Spiker Algorithm, and Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) coding. The results show that LIF coding has the overall best performance in terms of coding, computational, and energy efficiency.

neural substrates of perception in the vestibular thalamus during natural self-motion: A review

Accumulating evidence across multiple sensory modalities suggests that the thalamus does not simply relay information from the periphery to the cortex. Here we review recent findings showing that vestibular neurons within the ventral posteriolateral area of the thalamus perform nonlinear transformations on their afferent input that determine our subjective awareness of motion. Specifically, these neurons provide a substrate for previous psychophysical observations that perceptual discrimination thresholds are much better than predictions from Weber's law. This is because neural discrimination thresholds, which are determined from both variability and sensitivity, initially increase but then saturate with increasing stimulus amplitude, thereby matching the previously observed dependency of perceptual self-motion discrimination thresholds. Moreover, neural response dynamics give rise to unambiguous and optimized encoding of natural but not artificial stimuli. Finally, vestibular thalamic neurons selectively encode passively applied motion when occurring concurrently with voluntary (i.e., active) movements. Taken together, these results show that the vestibular thalamus plays an essential role towards generating motion perception as well as shaping our vestibular sense of agency that is not simply inherited from afferent input. © 2023 The Authors

An argument recently proposed by Chirimuuta (2014) seems to motivate the rejection of the claims that every neurocognitive phenomenon can have a mechanistic explanation and that every neurocognitive explanation is mechanistic. In this paper, I focus on efficient coding models involving the so-called "canonical neural computations" and argue that although they imply some form of pluralism, they are compatible with two mechanistic generalizations: all neurocognitive explanations are (at least in part) mechanistic;and all neurocognitive phenomena that have an explanation have (at least) a purely mechanistic explanation.

In the brain, information is encoded, transmitted and used to inform behaviour at the level of timing of action potentials distributed over population of neurons. To implement neural-like systems in silico, to emulate neural function, and to interface successfully with the brain, neuromorphic circuits need to encode information in a way compatible to that used by populations of neuron in the brain. To facilitate the cross-talk between neuromorphic engineering and neuroscience, in this review we first critically examine and summarize emerging recent findings about how population of neurons encode and transmit information. We examine the effects on encoding and readout of information for different features of neural population activity, namely the sparseness of neural representations, the heterogeneity of neural properties, the correlations among neurons, and the timescales (from short to long) at which neurons encode information and maintain it consistently over time. Finally, we critically elaborate on how these facts constrain the design of information coding in neuromorphic circuits. We focus primarily on the implications for designing neuromorphic circuits that communicate with the brain, as in this case it is essential that artificial and biological neurons use compatible neural codes. However, we also discuss implications for the design of neuromorphic systems for implementation or emulation of neural computation.

Brain-inspired methods for achieving robust computation in heterogeneous mixed-signal neuromorphic processing systems

Neuromorphic processing systems implementing spiking neural networks with mixed signal analog/digital electronic circuits and/or memristive devices represent a promising technology for edge computing applications that require low power, low latency, and that cannot connect to the cloud for off-line processing, either due to lack of connectivity or for privacy concerns. However, these circuits are typically noisy and imprecise, because they are affected by device-to-device variability, and operate with extremely small currents. So achieving reliable computation and high accuracy following this approach is still an open challenge that has hampered progress on the one hand and limited widespread adoption of this technology on the other. By construction, these hardware processing systems have many constraints that are biologically plausible, such as heterogeneity and non-negativity of parameters. More and more evidence is showing that applying such constraints to artificial neural networks, including those used in artificial intelligence, promotes robustness in learning and improves their reliability. Here we delve even more into neuroscience and present network-level brain-inspired strategies that further improve reliability and robustness in these neuromorphic systems: we quantify, with chip measurements, to what extent population averaging is effective in reducing variability in neural responses, we demonstrate experimentally how the neural coding strategies of cortical models allow silicon neurons to produce reliable signal representations, and show how to robustly implement essential computational primitives, such as selective amplification, signal restoration, working memory, and relational networks, exploiting such strategies. We argue that these strategies can be instrumental for guiding the design of robust and reliable ultra-low power electronic neural processing systems implemented using noisy and imprecise computing substrates such as subthreshold neuromorph

Motion processing across multiple topographic maps in the electrosensory system

Animals can efficiently process sensory stimuli whose attributes vary over orders of magnitude by devoting specific neural pathways to process specific features in parallel. Weakly electric fish offer an attractive model system as electrosensory pyramidal neurons responding to amplitude modulations of their self-generated electric field are organized into three parallel maps of the body surface. While previous studies have shown that these fish use parallel pathways to process stationary stimuli, whether a similar strategy is used to process motion stimuli remains unknown to this day. We recorded from electrosensory pyramidal neurons in the weakly electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus across parallel maps of the body surface (centromedial, centrolateral, and lateral) in response to objects moving at velocities spanning the natural range. Contrary to previous observations made with stationary stimuli, we found that all cells responded in a similar fashion to moving objects. Indeed, all cells showed a stronger directionally nonselective response when the object moved at a larger velocity. In order to explain these results, we built a mathematical model incorporating the known antagonistic center-surround receptive field organization of these neurons. We found that this simple model could quantitatively account for our experimentally observed differences seen across E and I-type cells across all three maps. Our results thus provide strong evidence against the hypothesis that weakly electric fish use parallel neural pathways to process motion stimuli and we discuss their implications for sensory processing in general.
