By analyzing real data and a simple model, we show that neural oscillations play a key role in the appearance of this toroidal topology. To quantitatively monitor how changes in spike trains influence the topology of the data, we first define a robust measure for the degree of toroidality of a dataset. Using this measure, we find that small perturbations ( ~ 100 ms) of spike times have little influence on both the toroidality and the hexagonality of the ratemaps. Jittering spikes by  ~ 100-500 ms, however, destroys the toroidal topology, while still having little impact on grid scores. These critical jittering time scales fall in the range of the periods of oscillations between the theta and eta bands. We thus hypothesized that these oscillatory modulations of neuronal spiking play a key role in the appearance and robustness of toroidal topology and the hexagonal spatial selectivity is not sufficient. We confirmed this hypothesis using a simple model for the activity of grid cells, consisting of an ensemble of independent rate-modulated Poisson processes. When these rates were modulated by oscillations, the network behaved similarly to the real data in exhibiting toroidal topology, even when the position of the fields were perturbed. In the absence of oscillations, this similarity was substantially lower. Furthermore, we find that the experimentally recorded spike trains indeed exhibit temporal modulations at the eta and theta bands, and that the ratio of the power in the eta band to that of the theta band, [Formula: see text], correlates with the critical jittering time at which the toroidal topology disappears.</p>","PeriodicalId":20241,"journal":{"name":"PLoS Computational Biology","volume":"21 1","pages":"e1012776"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143067524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study shows that the calcium control hypothesis, which relates synaptic plasticity in the brain to the calcium concentration ([Ca2+]) in dendritic spines, can produce a diverse array of learning rules. We propose a simple, perceptron-like neuron model, the calcitron, that has four sources of [Ca2+]: local (following the activation of an excitatory synapse and confined to that synapse), heterosynaptic (resulting from the activity of other synapses), postsynaptic spike-dependent, and supervisor-dependent. We demonstrate that by modulating the plasticity thresholds and calcium influx from each calcium source, we can reproduce a wide range of learning and plasticity protocols, such as Hebbian and anti-Hebbian learning, frequency-dependent plasticity, and unsupervised recognition of frequently repeating input patterns. Moreover, by devising simple neural circuits to provide supervisory signals, we show how the calcitron can implement homeostatic plasticity, perceptron learning, and BTSP-inspired one-shot learning.

Multiple methods exist for quantifying the intensity distribution - or image texture - across objects in natural images. However, many of these texture extraction methods do not directly adapt to 3D microscopy data. Here, we present Spherical Texture extraction, which measures the variance in intensity per angular wavelength by calculating the Spherical Harmonics or Fourier power spectrum of a spherical or circular projection of the angular mean intensity of the object. This method provides a 20-value characterization that quantifies the scale of features in the spherical projection of the intensity distribution, giving a different signal if the intensity is, for example, clustered in parts of the volume or spread across the entire volume. We apply this method to different systems and demonstrate its ability to describe various biological problems through feature extraction. The Spherical Texture extraction characterizes biologically defined gene expression patterns in Drosophila melanogaster embryos, giving a quantitative read-out for pattern formation. Our method can also quantify morphological differences in Caenorhabditis elegans germline nuclei, which lack a predefined pattern. We show that the classification of germline nuclei using their Spherical Texture outperforms a convolutional neural net when training data is limited. Additionally, we use a similar pipeline on 2D cell migration data to extract the polarization direction and quantify the alignment of fluorescent markers to the migration direction. We implemented the Spherical Texture method as a plugin in ilastik to provide a parameter-free and data-agnostic application to any segmented 3D or 2D dataset. Additionally, this technique can also be applied through a Python package to provide extra feature extraction for any object classification pipeline or downstream analysis.</p>","PeriodicalId":20241,"journal":{"name":"PLoS Computational Biology","volume":"21 1","pages":"e1012349"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11798461/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143067517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To elucidate how supercoils influence the dynamics of wrapping of DNA around the histone cores, we developed a novel model to simulate the intricate interplay between DNA and histone. Our simulations reveal that both positively and negatively supercoiled DNAs are capable of wrapping around histone cores to adopt the nucleosome conformation. Notably, our findings confirm a strong preference for negative supercoiled DNA during nucleosome wrapping, and reveal that the both of the negative writhe and twist are beneficial to the formation of the DNA wrapping around histone. Additionally, the simulations of the multiple nucleosomes on the same DNA template indicate that the nucleosome tends to assemble in proximity to the original nucleosome.

It remains unclear how efflux pumps can maintain this broad spectrum specificity to diverse drug molecules while limiting the efflux of other cytoplasmic content. We have investigated the origins of this broad specificity using theoretical models informed by the experimentally determined structural and kinetic properties of efflux pumps. We developed a set of mathematical models describing operation of efflux pumps as a discrete cyclic stochastic process across a network of states characterizing pump conformations and the presence/absence of bound ligands and protons. These include a minimal three-state model that lends itself to clear analytic calculations as well as a five-state model that relaxes some of the simpler model's most strict assumptions. We found that the pump specificity is determined not solely by the drug affinity to the pump-as is commonly assumed-but it is also directly affected by the periplasmic pH and the transmembrane potential. Therefore, changes to the proton concentration gradient and voltage drop across the membrane can influence how effective the pump is at extruding a particular drug molecule. Furthermore, we found that while both the proton concentration gradient across the membrane and the transmembrane potential contribute to the thermodynamic force driving the pump, their effects on the efflux enter not strictly in a combined proton motive force. Rather, they have two distinguishable effects on the overall throughput. These results highlight the unexpected effects of thermodynamic driving forces out of equilibrium and illustrate how efflux pump structure and function are conducive to the emergence of multidrug resistance.</p>","PeriodicalId":20241,"journal":{"name":"PLoS Computational Biology","volume":"21 1","pages":"e1012772"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11798531/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143053273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
