The perineuronal net (PNN) represents a lattice-like structure that is prominently expressed along the soma and proximal dendrites of parvalbumin- (PV-) positive interneurons in varied brain regions including the cortex and hippocampus. It is thus apposed to sites at which PV neurons receive synaptic input. Emerging evidence suggests that changes in PNN integrity may affect glutamatergic input to PV interneurons, a population that is critical for the expression of synchronous neuronal population discharges that occur with gamma oscillations and sharp-wave ripples. The present review is focused on the composition of PNNs, posttranslation modulation of PNN components by sulfation and proteolysis, PNN alterations in disease, and potential effects of PNN remodeling on neuronal plasticity at the single-cell and population level.

AbstractWe explore the link between on-going neuronal activity at primary motor cortex (M1) and face movement in awake mice. By combining custom-made behavioral sequencing analysis and fast volumetric Ca2+-imaging, we simultaneously tracked M1 population activity during many different facial motor sequences. We show that a facial area of M1 displays distinct trajectories of neuronal population dynamics across different spontaneous facial motor sequences, suggesting an underlying population dynamics code.Significance statementHow our brain controls a seemingly limitless diversity of body movements remains largely unknown. Recent research brings new light into this subject by showing that neuronal populations at the primary motor cortex display different dynamics during forelimb reaching movements versus grasping, which suggests that different motor sequences could be associated with distinct motor cortex population dynamics. To explore this possibility, we designed an experimental paradigm for simultaneously tracking the activity of neuronal populations in motor cortex across many different motor sequences. Our results support the concept that distinct population dynamics encode different motor sequences, bringing new insight into the role of motor cortex in sculpting behavior while opening new avenues for future research.

The development of new imaging and optogenetics techniques to study the dynamics of large neuronal circuits is generating datasets of unprecedented volume and complexity, demanding the development of appropriate analysis tools. We present a tutorial for the use of a comprehensive computational toolbox for the analysis of neuronal population activity imaging. It consists of tools for image pre-processing and segmentation, estimation of significant single-neuron single-trial signals, mapping event-related neuronal responses, detection of activity-correlated neuronal clusters, exploration of population dynamics, and analysis of clusters’ features against surrogate control datasets. They are integrated in a modular and versatile processing pipeline, adaptable to different needs. The clustering module is capable of detecting flexible, dynamically activated neuronal assemblies, consistent with the distributed population coding of the brain. We demonstrate the suitability of the toolbox for a variety of calcium imaging datasets, and provide a case study to explain its implementation.

The population dynamics of aquatic insects were simulated using a stage-projection matrix model. Transition elements, some of which were specified by nonlinear and stochastic functions, represent the joint probability of development and survivorship from time t to t + 1. For the simulation, stage-specific survivorship was kept unchanged and only development rate and fecundity were altered. The simulation predicts that the intrinsic capacity for population growth (rm) and equilibrium levels of abundance (K) should increase with both faster development rate and higher fecundity, independent of stage-specific mortality. As a test of the effect of accelerated development on population growth, abundance of insects emerging from experimental stream channels was compared in ambient temperature and heated channels. Development was faster in the heated channels, and abundance was greater for 9 of the 11 species compared. These results indicate that changes in development rate, in addition to changes in fecundity, must be considered when predicting the population effects of an altered thermal regime.
