An Integrated Micro- and Macroarchitectural Analysis of the Drosophila Brain by Computer-Assisted Serial Section Electron Microscopy (2010, background): “Typical ‘‘microcircuits’’ in the mammalian brain, formed by multiple interconnected elements providing for stimulus convergence and divergence and inhibitory/excitatory feed forward and feed back loops, will occupy volumes of (300–1,000 mm)(3) diameter [7,57,58].”
The atoms of neural computation (2014, background): “Relatedly, there is evidence that some neuronal morphologies and placements evolved to be consistent with many potential patterns of synaptic connectivity (Kalisman, Silberberg, & Markram, 2005).”
The Human Connectome: A Structural Description of the Human Brain (2005, background): “These changes include synaptic weights as well as structural remodeling of dendritic spines and presynaptic boutons [21], possibly switching synaptic connections between large numbers of potential synaptic sites [22,23].”
A synaptic organizing principle for cortical neuronal groups (2011, background): “, within the dimensions of a minicolumn), the axon of every pyramidal neuron is structurally connected to the dendrites of virtually every other pyramidal neuron in the immediate vicinity (41).”
Disynaptic inhibition between neocortical pyramidal cells mediated by Martinotti cells. (2007, background): “These differences were opposite for excitatory connections between PCs (Figures 5C and 5D), which mostly form synapses on basal dendrites (Kalisman et al., 2005; Markram et al., 1997).”
The Emergence of Organizing Structure in Conceptual Representation (2016, background): “…with broad application in both neuroscience and cognitive science, whether used to describe synaptic connectivity (Fares & Stepanyants, 2009; Kalisman, Silberberg, & Markram, 2005), neural activation (Olshausen & Field, 1996), or environmental structure (Navarro & Perfors, 2011; Oaksford &…”
Cooperative synapse formation in the neocortex (2009, background): “Mechanistically, it is likely that individual synapses between potentially connected axonal and dendritic branches are established according to some local molecular or activity dependent rules (2).”
