Alteration of the gut microbiome and correlated metabolism in a rat model of long-term depression [PDF]
ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the composition and function of the gut microbiome in long-term depression using an 8-week chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rat model.Materials and methodsAnimals were sacrificed after either 4 weeks or 8 ...

Long-term potentiation and long-term depression: a clinical perspective [PDF]
Long-term potentiation and long-term depression are enduring changes in synaptic strength, induced by specific patterns of synaptic activity, that have received much attention as cellular models of information storage in the central nervous system.

Do tau-synaptic long-term depression interactions in the hippocampus play a pivotal role in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease? [PDF]
Cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease correlates with the extent of tau pathology, in particular tau hyperphosphorylation that initially appears in the transentorhinal and related regions of the brain including the hippocampus.

The Intriguing Contribution of Hippocampal Long-Term Depression to Spatial Learning and Long-Term Memory [PDF]
Long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) comprise the principal cellular mechanisms that fulfill established criteria for the physiological correlates of learning and memory. Traditionally LTP, that increases synaptic weights, has been

Astrocyte and neuron cooperation in long-term depression. [PDF]
Activity-dependent long-term changes in synaptic transmission known as synaptic plasticity are fundamental processes in brain function and are recognized as the cellular basis of learning and memory. While the neuronal mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity have been largely identified, the involvement of astrocytes in these processes has been less ...

Implementation of Neuro-Memristive Synapse for Long-and Short-Term Bio-Synaptic Plasticity
In this paper, we propose a complex neuro-memristive synapse that exhibits the physiological acts of synaptic potentiation and depression of the human-brain.

Peers, Gender, and Long-Term Depression [PDF]
We provide first evidence that peer depression in adolescence affects own depression in adulthood. We use data from Add Health and an identification strategy that relies on within-school and across-cohort idiosyncratic variation in the share of own-gender peers who are depressed. We find a significant peer effect for females but not for males.

LIM-Kinases in Synaptic Plasticity, Memory, and Brain Diseases
Learning and memory require structural and functional modifications of synaptic connections, and synaptic deficits are believed to underlie many brain disorders.
