Evidence that guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins control a synaptic response in brain: effect of pertussis toxin and GTP gamma S on the late inhibitory postsynaptic potential of hippocampal CA3 neurons

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 1988
These experiments show that a synaptic response in brain, namely, the late inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) of hippocampal CA3 neurons in the rat hippocampal slice, was blocked by 2 compounds affecting guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding ...

Alterations in brain connectivity due to plasticity and synaptic delay

open access: yes, 2017
Brain plasticity refers to brain's ability to change neuronal connections, as a result of environmental stimuli, new experiences, or damage. In this work, we study the effects of the synaptic delay on both the coupling strengths and synchronisation in a ...

Lithium ameliorates autistic-like behaviors induced by neonatal isolation in rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
Neonatal isolation is a widely accepted model to study the long-term behavioral changes produced by the early life events. However, it remains unknown whether neonatal isolation can induce autistic-like behaviors, and if so, whether pharmacological ...

Neuronal Synchronization Can Control the Energy Efficiency of Inter-Spike Interval Coding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The role of synchronous firing in sensory coding and cognition remains controversial. While studies, focusing on its mechanistic consequences in attentional tasks, suggest that synchronization dynamically boosts sensory processing, others failed to find ...

Experience-driven formation of parts-based representations in a model of layered visual memory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Growing neuropsychological and neurophysiological evidence suggests that the visual cortex uses parts-based representations to encode, store and retrieve relevant objects.

Basal Synaptic Transmission and Long-Term Plasticity at CA3-CA1 Synapses Are Unaffected in Young Adult PINK1-Deficient Rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Loss of function mutations in PARK6, the gene that encodes the protein PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), cause autosomal recessive familial Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Serotonin Induces Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials in Apical Dendrites of Neocortical Pyramidal Cells

open access: hybridNeuropharmacology, 1997
By intracellular and whole cell recording in rat brain slices, it was found that bath-applied serotonin (5-HT) produces an increase in the frequency and amplitude of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic potentials/currents (EPSPs/EPSCs) in layer V pyramidal cells of neocortex and transitional cortex (e.g. medial prefrontal, cigulate and frontoparietal).

Equilibrium Properties of Temporally Asymmetric Hebbian Plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
A theory of temporally asymmetric Hebb (TAH) rules which depress or potentiate synapses depending upon whether the postsynaptic cell fires before or after the presynaptic one is presented.

Membrane resonance enables stable and robust gamma oscillations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Neuronal mechanisms underlying beta/gamma oscillations (20-80 Hz) are not completely understood. Here, we show that in vivo beta/gamma oscillations in the cat visual cortex sometimes exhibit remarkably stable frequency even when inputs fluctuate ...

Gamma rhythms and beta rhythms have different synchronization properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Experimental and modeling efforts suggest that rhythms in the CA1 region of the hippocampus that are in the beta range (12-29 Hz) have a different dynamical structure than that of gamma (30-70 Hz).
