Loss of the actin regulator cyclase-associated protein 1 (CAP1) modestly affects dendritic spine remodeling during synaptic plasticity

European Journal of Cell Biology, 2023
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 ...

Long-term potentiation in isolated dendritic spines. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:In brain, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (NMDAR) activation can induce long-lasting changes in synaptic alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA) receptor (AMPAR) levels.

Core-Shell Dual-Gate Nanowire Charge-Trap Memory for Synaptic Operations for Neuromorphic Applications

Nanomaterials, 2021
This work showcases the physical insights of a core-shell dual-gate (CSDG) nanowire transistor as an artificial synaptic device with short/long-term potentiation and long-term depression (LTD) operation.

Nutritional deficit and Long Term Potentiation alterations

Journal of Biological Research, 2009
In the present work we examined the ability of prenatally malnourished offspring to produce and maintain long-term potentiation (LTP) of the perforant path/dentate granule cell synapse in freely moving rats at 15,30, and 90 days of age.

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 ...

Long-Term Potentiation: One Kind or Many? [PDF]

, 2016
Do neurobiologists aim to discover natural kinds? I address this question in this chapter via a critical analysis of classification practices operative across the 43-year history of research on long-term potentiation (LTP).

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.

Pain-motor integration in the primary motor cortex in Parkinson's disease [PDF]

, 2017
In Parkinson's disease (PD), the influence of chronic pain on motor features has never been investigated. We have recently designed a technique that combines nociceptive system activation by laser stimuli and primary motor cortex (M1) activation through ...

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.
