The role of astrocytes from synaptic to non-synaptic plasticity
Information storage and transfer in the brain require a high computational power. Neuronal network display various local or global mechanisms to allow information storage and transfer in the brain.

Intrinsic plasticity complements long-term potentiation in parallel fiber input gain control in cerebellar Purkinje cells [PDF]
Synaptic gain control and information storage in neural networks are mediated by alterations in synaptic transmission, such as in long-term potentiation (LTP).

The activity of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) plays an integral role in regulating synaptic development and plasticity. We designed a live-cell-imaging approach to monitor an activity-dependent clustering of green fluorescent ...

Ultrastructural Distribution of the 7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subunit in Rat Hippocampus [PDF]
Acetylcholine (ACh) is an important neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain; it is implicated in arousal, learning, and other cognitive functions. Recent studies indicate that nicotinic receptors contribute to these cholinergic effects, in addition to ...

Proactive and retroactive interference with associative memory consolidation in the snail Lymnaea is time and circuit dependent [PDF]
Interference-based forgetting occurs when new information acquired either before or after a learning event attenuates memory expression (proactive and retroactive interference, respectively).

Translational Remodeling of the Synaptic Proteome During Aging
Aging induces a decoupling of protein regulation between the soma and the synapse. In particular, transcripts coding for ribosomal proteins decrease and their corresponding proteins increase in the synapse while the opposite happens in the soma. At the same time, synapse‐specific regulation of splicing takes place.

Reinstatement of long-term memory following erasure of its behavioral and synaptic expression in Aplysia. [PDF]
Long-term memory (LTM) is believed to be stored in the brain as changes in synaptic connections. Here, we show that LTM storage and synaptic change can be dissociated.

Stabilization of axon branch dynamics by synaptic maturation [PDF]
The developmental refinement of topographic projections in the brain is reflected in the dynamic sculpting of axonal arbors that takes place as connections between CNS structures form and mature.

Anterograde Signalling by Nitric Oxide: Characterisation and In Vitro Reconstitution of an Identified Nitrergic Synapse [PDF]
Nitric oxide (NO) is recognized as a signaling molecule in the CNS where it is a candidate retrograde neurotransmitter. Here we provide direct evidence that NO mediates slow excitatory anterograde transmission between the NO synthase (NOS)-expressing B2 ...

STIM2 regulates PKA-dependent phosphorylation and trafficking of AMPARs [PDF]
STIMs (STIM1 and STIM2 in mammals) are transmembrane proteins that reside in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and regulate store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE).
