Coordinated activation of distinct Ca2+ sources and metabotropic glutamate receptors encodes Hebbian synaptic plasticity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
During STDP, the magnitude of postsynaptic Ca2+transients is hypothesized to determine the strength of synaptic plasticity. Here, the authors find that STDP in mature hippocampal synapses does not obey this rule but instead relies on the coordinated ...

Plastic Waste (In)Visibility in Plasticity

open access: yesTahiti
This article examines the video game Plasticity as a compelling narrative medium that represents and critiques the ecological ramifications of plastic consumption in the Anthropocene era. The game’s dystopian setting, where players navigate through environments devastated by plastic waste, serves as a metaphor for the real-world issues of waste ...

Upregulated energy metabolism in the Drosophila mushroom body is the trigger for long-term memory

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Energy consumption in the brain is thought to respond to changes in neuronal activity, without informational role. Here the authors show that increased energy flux in the mushroom body, driven by a pair of input dopaminergic neurons, is a command for the

The future is plastic: refiguring Malabou’s plasticity

open access: yesJournal for Cultural Research, 2014
This article investigates Catherine Malabou’s claims to have produced some form of beyond of deconstruction with her reworking of the Hegelian concept of “plasticity” (Plastizität). In the light of Malabou’s critique of the unsuitability of the Derridean non-concept of “text” for being a suitable metaphor for neuronal functioning in her Plasticité, I ...
