  24. Modularity

  25. A classic example of modularity in biology: the domain structure of genes and proteins “Exon shuffling” was recognized early in molecular biology as a potential mechanism to generate diverse novel proteins based on existing functional building-blocks.

  26. Modularity in neural circuits a putative example: “cerebellar-like” circuits Bell, Han, & Sawtell, Annu. Rev. Neurosci. 2008 Oertel & Young, Trends Neurosci. 2004 Roberts & Portfors, Biol. Cybern. 2008

  27. Modularity in neural circuits “cerebellar-like” circuits in vertebrates mammalian cerebellum teleost cerebellum mammalian dorsal cochlear nucleus teleost medial octavolateral nucleus mormyrid electrosensory lobe gymnotid electrosensory lobe Bell, Han, & Sawtell, Annu. Rev. Neurosci. 2008 Oertel & Young, Trends Neurosci. 2004 Roberts & Portfors, Biol. Cybern. 2008

  28. Modularity in neural circuits • common anatomical features of cerebellar-like circuits: • large principal cells (often GABAergic) having large spiny dendrites • principal cells receive excitatory input from a very large population of granule cells forming parallel axon bundles that target the spiny dendrites of principal cells • principal cells also receive excitatory ascending input from sensory regions targeting the perisomatic/proximal region of principal cells • common functional features of cerebellar-like circuits: • parallel fibers carry “higher-level” information (higher-level sensory signals, corollary discharges, proprioceptive info) • ascending inputs by contrast carry lower-level information (pertaining to the same sensory modality or sensorimotor task) • parallel fiber signals can in principle “predict” the lower-level signals • “prediction” is learned by pairing parallel fiber input with ascending sensory input • pairing produces a depression of parallel fiber inputs (anti-Hebbian plasticity) Bell, Han, & Sawtell, Annu. Rev. Neurosci. 2008 Oertel & Young, Trends Neurosci. 2004 Roberts & Portfors, Biol. Cybern. 2008

  29. Modularity in neural circuits re-routing experiments show that auditory cortex can process visual inputs Modularity can permit an organism to process a new input without evolving an entirely novel circuit from scratch—in effect, building diverse objects using existing building-blocks. What “modules” (if any) might be the circuit-level equivalent of protein domains at the molecular level? Sharma, Angelucci, & Sur, Nature 2001 von Melchner, Pallas, & Sur, Nature 2001

  30. shorten summary (to ~400 words) • add an assessment (probably >300 words) • identify major problems, if any • identify unusual strengths, if any • for each major point, state the implications clearly • for each major problem, indicate appropriate solutions
