5. title of research plan for csc-um phd programme

mechanisms and role of axon-myelin structural plasticity in learning and information processing

6. short summary of research plan (max. 250 words) (a full plan has to be submitted later)

our group and collaborators have recently discovered a new type of structural plasticity in the brain between axons ╟ the structure through which neurons propagate electrical signals ╟ and the myelin coverage of axons ╟ the structure that ensures the speedy, reliable, and energetically efficient propagation of those signals.  experimental evidence suggests that this newly identified form of plasticity is important in learning, for instance for the coordination of fine motor tasks, and can be induced or modulated by external interventions such as transcranial magnetic stimulation.
this project will investigate in computational biology simulations the biophysics underlying this new form of plasticity.  we will investigate the role of potassium channels located underneath the myelin coverage at juxtaparanodes.  we will test the hypothesis that changes in the volume of the periaxonal space affect the degree of coupling between parallel myelinated axons.  we will also ask how this structural plasticity can shape information flow in neural networks by simulating its effects on the propagation failure of neurons’ electrical signals, and on the time course of these signals.  the exact time course of these signals is now hypothesized to encode information about the level of synchrony in the neuron’s input population and can affect information flow via changes in the release probability at presynaptic terminals.  finally, we will investigate a possible link between this new form of structural plasticity and the metabolic coupling of axons and myelin sheaths.
the project will make extensive use of matlab and neuron packages, and will involve our collaborators in hobart, tasmania, and prague in the czech republic.
