Rapid Recovery From Cortical Blindness Caused by an Old Cerebral Infarction

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
When the primary visual cortex (V1) is damaged, cortical blindness results. However, visual information obtained from the superior colliculus (SC) or direct thalamic afferents to higher visual cortices produces unconscious visual functions called ...

LIM-Kinases in Synaptic Plasticity, Memory, and Brain Diseases

Cells, 2021
Learning and memory require structural and functional modifications of synaptic connections, and synaptic deficits are believed to underlie many brain disorders.

Differential sensitivity of three forms of hippocampal synaptic potentiation to depotentiation

Molecular Brain, 2019
Theta-burst stimulation (TBS) induces short-term potentiation (STP) plus two types of transcriptionally-independent forms of long-term potentiation (LTP), termed LTP1 and LTP2.

The roles of STP and LTP in synaptic encoding [PDF]

PeerJ, 2013
Long-term potentiation (LTP), a cellular model of learning and memory, is generally regarded as a unitary phenomenon that alters the strength of synaptic transmission by increasing the postsynaptic response to the release of a quantum of neurotransmitter.

Involvement of Cdk5 activating subunit p35 in synaptic plasticity in excitatory and inhibitory neurons

Molecular Brain, 2022
Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) /p35 is involved in many developmental processes of the central nervous system. Cdk5/p35 is also implicated in synaptic plasticity, learning and memory.

Bidirectional Synaptic Plasticity Is Driven by Sex Neurosteroids Targeting Estrogen and Androgen Receptors in Hippocampal CA1 Pyramidal Neurons

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Neuroactive estrogenic and androgenic steroids influence synaptic transmission, finely modulating synaptic plasticity in several brain regions including the hippocampus.

Cardiac Arrest Induces Ischemic Long-Term Potentiation of Hippocampal CA1 Neurons That Occludes Physiological Long-Term Potentiation

Neural Plasticity, 2018
Ischemic long-term potentiation (iLTP) is a form of synaptic plasticity that occurs in acute brain slices following oxygen-glucose deprivation. In vitro, iLTP can occlude physiological LTP (pLTP) through saturation of plasticity mechanisms.

The α1 subunit of the GABA(A) receptor modulates fear learning and plasticity in the lateral amygdala

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2009
Synaptic plasticity in the amydgala is essential for emotional learning. Fear conditioning, for example, depends on changes in excitatory transmission that occur following NMDA receptor activation and AMPA receptor modification in this region. The role

Long Term Potentiation as a Mechanism for Learning and Memory [PDF]

Cell Journal, 2009
Since the 1970s when long term potentiation (LTP) was introduced to the scientific world;several studies have been devoted to determining whether this phenomenon is naturally abasic mechanism of learning and memory in mammalian brains. However, plenty of

Temporal sensitivity of protein kinase a activation in late-phase long term potentiation. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2010
Protein kinases play critical roles in learning and memory and in long term potentiation (LTP), a form of synaptic plasticity. The induction of late-phase LTP (L-LTP) in the CA1 region of the hippocampus requires several kinases, including CaMKII and PKA,
