mGluR5 Facilitates Long-Term Synaptic Depression in a Stress-Induced Depressive Mouse Model. [PDF]
Background Glutamatergic system has been known to play a role in the pathogenesis of major depression disorder by inducing N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor-dependent long-term depression (LTD) or metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR)-dependent LTD. Here, we characterized the LTD in a chronic social defeat stress (CSDS)-induced depressive mouse model ...

A Late Phase of Long-Term Synaptic Depression in Cerebellar Purkinje Cells Requires Activation of MEF2 [PDF]
Summary: The MEF2 family of transcription factors restricts excitatory synapse number in an activity-dependent fashion during development, yet MEF2 has not been implicated in long-term synaptic depression (LTD), which is thought to initiate synapse ...

Progressive long-term synaptic depression at cortical inputs into the amygdala. [PDF]
The convergence of conditioned and unconditioned stimuli (CS and US) into the lateral amygdala (LA) serves as a substrate for an adequate fear response in vivo. This well-known Pavlovian paradigm modulates the synaptic plasticity of neurons, as can be proved by the long-term potentiation (LTP) phenomenon in vitro.

Local Iontophoretic Application for Pharmacological Induction of Long-Term Synaptic Depression [PDF]
Long-term depression (LTD), a key form of synaptic plasticity, is typically induced through regulated Ca2+ entry via NMDA receptors and achieved by prolonged (up to hundreds of seconds) low-frequency presynaptic stimulation or bath application of NMDA ...

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.

Low-Consumption Synaptic Devices Based on Gate-All-Around InAs Nanowire Field-Effect Transistors
In this work, an artificial electronic synaptic device based on gate-all-around InAs nanowire field-effect transistor is proposed and analyzed. The deposited oxide layer (In2O3) on the InAs nanowire surface serves as a charge trapping layer for ...

IGF-1 facilitates extinction of conditioned fear
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) plays a key role in synaptic plasticity, spatial learning, and anxiety-like behavioral processes. While IGF-1 regulates neuronal firing and synaptic transmission in many areas of the central nervous system, its ...

Stress and long-term synaptic depression [PDF]
Acute inescapable stress reverses the direction of synaptic plasticity in the intact hippocampus via a corticosterone-mediated activation of glucocorticoid receptors and protein/RNA synthesis.

Long-Term Depression of Kainate Receptor-Mediated Synaptic Transmission [PDF]
Kainate receptors (KARs) have been shown to be involved in hippocampal mossy fiber long-term potentiation (LTP); however, it is not known if KARs are involved in the induction or expression of long-term depression (LTD), the other major form of long-term synaptic plasticity.
