abstract = {The structure of the brain plays a crucial role in shaping
its activity. However, the link between structural
connectivity and observed neuronal activity remains not
fully understood. Previous research utilizing a large-scale
spiking network model of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons
has addressed this question for macaque cortex [1,2]. In
this study, we employ the same framework to investigate
human cortex and present a large-scale spiking network model
that links the cortical network structure to the
resting-state activity of neurons, populations, layers, and
areas.Our approach integrates data on cortical architecture,
cellular morphologies, and local and cortico-cortical
connectivity into a multi-scale framework to predict
connection probabilities between neurons based on their
types and locations within areas and layers. We represent
each cortical area with a 1 mm2 area-specific microcircuit
incorporating the full density of neurons and synapses. For
this first model version, the laminar thicknesses and neuron
densities are derived from the von Economo and Koskinas
atlas [3]. The connectivity on the area level is informed by
diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data [4], while predictions
on laminar connectivity patterns are derived from predictive
connectomics based on macaque data that express regularities
of laminar connectivity patterns as a function of cortical
architecture. We use the Potjans and Diesmann [5] model as a
basis for the local connectivity, scaling it according to
cytoarchitectonic data. To map inter-area synapses to target
cells, which may have their cell body in a different layer
compared to the synapse location, we assign synapses in
proportion to the layer- and cell-type-specific dendritic
lengths determined from human neuron morphologies [6]. The
model contains approximately 4 million neurons and 50
billion synapses and is simulated on JURECA-DC using the
NEST simulator.Simulations of the model reveal a state with
asynchronous and irregular activity that deviates from
experimental recordings in terms of spiking activity and
inter-area functional connectivity. By increasing the
strength of the inter-area synapses, a state is reached that
captures aspects of both microscopic and macroscopic
resting-state activity of human cortex measured via
electrophysiological recordings from medial frontal cortex
and fMRI [7]. Furthermore, we used our model to track the
effect of a single additional spike through the large-scale
network. We find that a single-spike perturbation spreads
rapidly across the entire network within 50-75 ms,
comparable to visual response latencies in macaque cortex
[8], suggesting that the cortical network allows individual
spikes to play a role in fast sensory processing and
behavioral responses. Overall, the model serves as a basis
for the investigation of multi-scale structure-dynamics
relationships in human cortex.},
