Discovering optimal features for neuron-type identification from extracellular recordings
Advancements in multichannel recordings of single-unit activity (SUA) in vivo present an opportunity to discover novel features of spatially-varying extracellularly-recorded action potentials (EAPs) that are useful for identifying neuron-types. Traditional approaches to classifying neuron-types often rely on computing EAP waveform features based on conventions of single-channel recordings and thus inherit their limitations. However, spatiotemporal EAP waveforms are the product of signals from underlying current sources being mixed within the extracellular space. We introduce a machine learning approach to demix the underlying sources of spatiotemporal EAP waveforms. Using biophysically realistic computational models, we simulate EAP waveforms and characterize them by the relative prevalence of these sources, which we use as features for identifying the neuron-types corresponding to recorded single units. These EAP sources have distinct spatial and multi-resolution temporal patterns that are robust to various sampling biases. EAP sources also are shared across many neuron-types, are predictive of gross morphological features, and expose underlying morphological domains. We then organize known neuron-types into a hierarchy of latent morpho-electrophysiological types based on differences in the source prevalences, which provides a multi-level classification scheme. We validate the robustness, accuracy, and interpretations of our demixing approach by analyzing simulated EAPs from morphologically detailed models with classification and clustering methods. This simulation-based approach provides a machine learning strategy for neuron-type identification.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Neuroinformatics publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research on the development and implementation of numerical/computational models and analytical tools used to share, integrate and analyze experimental data and advance theories of the nervous system functions. Specialty Chief Editors Jan G. Bjaalie at the University of Oslo and Sean L. Hill at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne are supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics and the public worldwide.
Neuroscience is being propelled into the information age as the volume of information explodes, demanding organization and synthesis. Novel synthesis approaches are opening up a new dimension for the exploration of the components of brain elements and systems and the vast number of variables that underlie their functions. Neural data is highly heterogeneous with complex inter-relations across multiple levels, driving the need for innovative organizing and synthesizing approaches from genes to cognition, and covering a range of species and disease states.
Frontiers in Neuroinformatics therefore welcomes submissions on existing neuroscience databases, development of data and knowledge bases for all levels of neuroscience, applications and technologies that can facilitate data sharing (interoperability, formats, terminologies, and ontologies), and novel tools for data acquisition, analyses, visualization, and dissemination of nervous system data. Our journal welcomes submissions on new tools (software and hardware) that support brain modeling, and the merging of neuroscience databases with brain models used for simulation and visualization.
