Optimal Spike-Timing Dependent Plasticity for Precise Action Potential Firing [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2005
In timing-based neural codes, neurons have to emit action potentials at precise moments in time. We use a supervised learning paradigm to derive a synaptic update rule that optimizes via gradient ascent the likelihood of postsynaptic firing at one or several desired firing times.

Essential Functions of the Transcription Factor Npas4 in Neural Circuit Development, Plasticity, and Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Signaling from the synapse to nucleus is mediated by the integration and propagation of both membrane potential changes (postsynaptic potentials) and intracellular second messenger cascades.

Key Connectomes and Synaptic‐Compartment‐Specific Risk Genes Drive Pathological α‐Synuclein Spreading

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Utilizing a stereotaxic injection mouse model and a novel mathematical approach, this study uncovers key subnetworks that drive pathological α‐synuclein (α‐Syn) progression in Parkinson's disease (PD). Remarkably, just 2% of the strongest connections in the connectome are sufficient to predict its spread.

Firing Cell: An Artificial Neuron with a Simulation of Long-Term-Potentiation-Related Memory [PDF]

open access: yesISAROB 2006, pp.731-734, 2017
We propose a computational model of neuron, called firing cell (FC), properties of which cover such phenomena as attenuation of receptors for external stimuli, delay and decay of postsynaptic potentials, modification of internal weights due to propagation of postsynaptic potentials through the dendrite, modification of properties of the analog memory ...

Unraveling Neurodevelopment: Synergistic Effects of Intrinsic Genetic Programs and Extrinsic Environmental Cues

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Overview of the regulation of intrinsic and extrinsic signals during neurodevelopment. Intrinsic genetic signals from NSCs, in conjunction with cues from microglia and blood vessels, collaboratively regulate the proliferation of NSCs, their fate determination, synaptogenesis, synaptic pruning, neuronal survival, and death, as well as communication ...

Loss of FKBP5 Affects Neuron Synaptic Plasticity: An Electrophysiology Insight [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
FKBP5 (FKBP51) is a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binding protein, which acts as a co-chaperone of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and negatively regulates GR.

Oxytocin Improves Autistic Behaviors by Positively Shifting GABA Reversal Potential via NKCC1 in Early‐Postnatal‐Stage

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
New research reveals that oxytocin signaling during the early postnatal period is critical for regulating brain development and social behavior. Selectively suppressing oxytocin neurons by chemogenetic method shows that early—but not late—disruption leads to autism‐like behaviors.

Glutamatergic transmission in the central nucleus of the amygdala is selectively altered in Marchigian Sardinian alcohol-preferring rats: Alcohol and CRF effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The CRF system of the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is important for the processing of anxiety, stress, and effects of acute and chronic ethanol.

Aberrant excitatory rewiring of layer V pyramidal neurons early after neocortical trauma

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2016
Lesioned neuronal circuits form new functional connections after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). In humans and animal models, aberrant excitatory connections that form after TBI may contribute to the pathogenesis of post-traumatic epilepsy.
