Photoionization cross section in a spherical quantum dot: Effects of some parabolic confining electric potentials [PDF]
A theoretical investigation of the effects of spatial variation of confining electric potential on photoionization cross section (PCS) in a spherical quantum dot is presented. The potential profiles considered here are the shifted parabolic potential and the inverse lateral shifted parabolic potential compared with the well-studied parabolic potential.

Long term potentiation depends on release of D-serine from astrocytes
Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission provides an experimental model for studying mechanisms of memory. The classical form of LTP relies on N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), and it has been shown that astroglia can regulate their ...

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

Dendritic spines form the postsynaptic compartment of most excitatory synapses in the vertebrate brain. Morphological changes of dendritic spines contribute to major forms of synaptic plasticity such as long-term potentiation (LTP) or depression (LTD ...

Erythropoietin enhances hippocampal long-term potentiation and memory
Background Erythropoietin (EPO) improves cognition of human subjects in the clinical setting by as yet unknown mechanisms. We developed a mouse model of robust cognitive improvement by EPO to obtain the first clues of how EPO influences cognition, and ...

XMem: Long-Term Video Object Segmentation with an Atkinson-Shiffrin Memory Model [PDF]
We present XMem, a video object segmentation architecture for long videos with unified feature memory stores inspired by the Atkinson-Shiffrin memory model. Prior work on video object segmentation typically only uses one type of feature memory.

Effects of intra-dentate gyrus microinjection of myokine irisin on long-term potentiation in male rats [PDF]
Induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) increases the storage capacity of synapses in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). Irisin is a myokine generated from FNDC5 (a gene precursor) during exercise.

Long-term potentiation in the hippocampus: discovery, mechanisms and function
In this review we reflect upon our contributions to the study of the properties and mechanisms of long-term potentiation (LTP) and describe some of the major influences on our work. We then go on to consider whether LTP has fulfilled its early promise of

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in psychiatry
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive and relatively painless tool that has been used to study various cognitive functions as well as to understand the brain-behavior relationship in normal individuals as well as in those ...

Purkinje cells translate subjective salience into readiness to act and choice performance
Summary: The brain selectively allocates attention from a continuous stream of sensory input. This process is typically attributed to computations in distinct regions of the forebrain and midbrain.
