Postsynaptic Potential Energy as Determinant of Synaptic Plasticity [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2022 Metabolic energy can be used as a unifying principle to control neuronal activity. However, whether and how metabolic energy alone can determine the outcome of synaptic plasticity remains unclear.

Auditory Stimuli Coding by Postsynaptic Potential and Local Field Potential Features. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The relation between physical stimuli and neurophysiological responses, such as action potentials (spikes) and Local Field Potentials (LFP), has recently been experimented in order to explain how neurons encode auditory information.

Evidence that guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins control a synaptic response in brain: effect of pertussis toxin and GTP gamma S on the late inhibitory postsynaptic potential of hippocampal CA3 neurons [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, 1988 These experiments show that a synaptic response in brain, namely, the late inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) of hippocampal CA3 neurons in the rat hippocampal slice, was blocked by 2 compounds affecting guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding ...

Molecular model of postsynaptic potential. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1975 A molecular model of the excitatory postsynaptic membrane is given in terms of two biochemical cycles intimately associated: an acetylcholine cycle and a calcium cycle. The acetylcholine controls the Na ionophores while calcium ions control the tk ionophore.

Action Potential-Independent Release of Glutamate by Ca2+Entry through Presynaptic P2X Receptors Elicits Postsynaptic Firing in the Brainstem Autonomic Network [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, 2004 P2X receptors are ATP-gated channels permeable to cations including Ca2+. In acute slices containing the nucleus of the solitary tract, in which neuronal ATP release and ATP-elicited physiological responses are demonstrated in vivo, we recorded ...

Equilibrium Potential for the Postsynaptic Response in the Squid Giant Synapse [PDF]
The Journal of General Physiology, 1974 The reversal potential for the EPSP in the squid giant synapse has been studied by means of an intracellular, double oil gap technique. This method allows the electrical isolation of a portion of the axon from the rest of the fiber and generates a quasi ...

Loss of Presynaptic and Postsynaptic Structures Is Accompanied by Compensatory Increase in Action Potential-Dependent Synaptic Input to Layer V Neocortical Pyramidal Neurons in Aged Rats [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, 2000 Reduction in both presynaptic and postsynaptic structures in the aging neocortex may significantly affect functional synaptic properties in this area. To directly address this issue, we combined whole-cell patch-clamp recording of spontaneously occurring

POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIAL SUMMATION AND ACTION POTENTIAL INITIATION: FUNCTION FOLLOWING FORM
Advances in Physiology Education, 2004 The mechanisms and physiological significance of postsynaptic potential summation and action potential initiation are among the most difficult concepts for students to grasp. To help students understand these concepts, we emphasize that neurons have three distinct functional zones: 1 ) the ...

Postsynaptic GABA(B) Receptors Contribute to the Termination of Giant Depolarizing Potentials in CA3 Neonatal Rat Hippocampus [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017 During development, hippocampal CA3 network generates recurrent population bursts, so-called Giant Depolarizing Potentials (GDPs). GDPs are characterized by synchronous depolarization and firing of CA3 pyramidal cells followed by afterhyperpolarization ...
