However, the link between structural connectivity and observed neuronal activity remains incompletely 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]. Here, a similar framework is employed to investigate human cortex in a model that links the cortical network structure to the resting-state activity of neurons, populations, layers, and areas.Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate the link between structural connectivity and observed neuronal activity in human cortex using a large-scale spiking network model, and to create a platform for multi-scale in silico studies of human cortex.Materials and Methods: The model includes all 34 areas in a single hemisphere of human cortex according to the Desikan-Killiany parcellation. Our approach integrates cortical data on architecture, morphology, and connectivity into a multi-scale framework for predicting neuron connections. Each cortical area is represented by a 1 $mm^2$ layered microcircuit adapted from [3] with the full density of neurons and synapses. Inter-area connectivity relies on diffusion tensor imaging data [4] and the determination of laminar patterns of synaptic connectivity takes into account human neuron morphology data [5]. The model comprises 4 million neurons and 50 billion synapses, simulated with the NEST simulator on the supercomputer JURECA-DC. Results and Conclusions: Simulations of the model with uniform synaptic weights reveal a state with asynchronous and irregular activity that deviates from experimental recordings in terms of spiking activity and inter-area functional connectivity. Increasing inter-area synapse strength enables the model to capture both microscopic and macroscopic resting-state activity of human cortex measured via electrophysiological recordings and fMRI [6]. Furthermore, the model reveals rapid propagation of the effects of a single-spike perturbation across the entire network. This suggests individual spikes play a role in fast sensory processing and behavioral responses in the cortical network. Overall, the model serves as a basis for the investigation of multi-scale structure-dynamics relationships in human cortex.}, month = {Oct}, date = {2023-10-26}, organization = {2nd Cologne Neuroscience Day, Cologne (Germany), 26 Oct 2023 - 26 Oct 2023}, subtyp = {Other}, cin = {INM-6 / IAS-6 / INM-10}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)INM-6-20090406 / I:(DE-Juel1)IAS-6-20130828 / I:(DE-Juel1)INM-10-20170113}, pnm = {5231 - Neuroscientific Foundations (POF4-523) / DFG project 313856816 - SPP 2041: Computational Connectomics (313856816) / DFG project 347572269 - Heterogenität von Zytoarchitektur, Chemoarchitektur und Konnektivität in einem großskaligen Computermodell der menschlichen Großhirnrinde (347572269) / HBP SGA3 - Human Brain Project Specific Grant Agreement 3 (945539) / Brain-Scale Simulations $(jinb33_20220812)$}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5231 / G:(GEPRIS)313856816 / G:(GEPRIS)347572269 / G:(EU-Grant)945539 / $G:(DE-Juel1)jinb33_20220812$}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)24}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1017849}, }
