Parvalbumin Interneuron‐Dependent Hippocampal Neurogenesis Evoked by Prolonged Rhythmic Light Flicker

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that prolonged rhythmic 40 Hz light flicker enhances spatial learning by stimulating PV interneuron‐dependent neurogenesis. The light flicker selectively activates PV interneurons, which enhances GABAergic support for the integration of immature neurons in the adult dentate gyrus.

Integrated Regulation of Signal Coding and Plasticity by NMDA Receptors at a Central Synapse

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 1998
The role of NMDA and non-NMDA glutamate receptors in long-term potentiation has been intensely investigated, yet recent evidence on the dynamics of synaptic depolarization suggests that the original view should be extended.

NMDA-receptor activation but not ion flux is required for amyloid-beta induced synaptic depression. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Alzheimer disease is characterized by a gradual decrease of synaptic function and, ultimately, by neuronal loss. There is considerable evidence supporting the involvement of oligomeric amyloid-beta (Aβ) in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease ...

Functional Proteins Involved in Regulation of Intracellular Ca2+ for Drug Development: Desensitization of N-Methyl-D-aspartate Receptor Channels

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are a principal subtype of excitatory ligand-gated ion channels with crucial roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS).

Synaptic Function in Memristor Devices for Neuromorphic Circuit Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Discover how neuromorphic devices mimic brain‐like learning: this article explores how ionic and electronic conduction processes enable artificial synapses to adapt across time scales. Uncover the essential ingredients—state‐variable dynamics, rectification, and memory—and how they can be probed through nonlinear diagnostics to engineer smarter, more ...

Enhanced synaptic long-term potentiation in the anterior cingulate cortex of adult wild mice as compared with that in laboratory mice

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2009
Activation of N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is important for learning, memory and persistent pain. Genetic enhancement of NMDA receptor function by overexpressing NR2B subunit significantly enhances hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP ...

Cell biological mechanisms of activity-dependent synapse to nucleus translocation of CRTC1 in neurons. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Previous studies have revealed a critical role for CREB-regulated transcriptional coactivator (CRTC1) in regulating neuronal gene expression during learning and memory. CRTC1 localizes to synapses but undergoes activity-dependent nuclear translocation to

The Role of SLC39A8.p.(Ala391Thr) in Schizophrenia Symptom Severity and Cognitive Ability: Cross‐Sectional Studies of Schizophrenia and the General UK Population

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The missense SNP NC_000004.12:g.102267552C>T (also known as SLC39A8.p.(Ala391Thr), rs13107325) in SLC39A8 encodes a zinc transporter. This SNP has been linked to schizophrenia and is the likely causal variant for one of the genome‐wide association loci associated with the disorder. Using regression analyses, we tested whether the schizophrenia‐
