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.

Imperfect space clamp permits electrotonic interactions between inhibitory and excitatory synaptic conductances, distorting voltage clamp recordings. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The voltage clamp technique is frequently used to examine the strength and composition of synaptic input to neurons. Even accounting for imperfect voltage control of the entire cell membrane ("space clamp"), it is often assumed that currents measured at ...

Pre & postsynaptic tuning of action potential timing by spontaneous GABAergic activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Frequency and timing of action potential discharge are key elements for coding and transfer of information between neurons. The nature and location of the synaptic contacts, the biophysical parameters of the receptor-operated channels and their kinetics ...

Postsynaptic neuronal activity promotes regeneration of retinal axons
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: The wiring of visual circuits requires that retinal neurons functionally connect to specific brain targets, a process that involves activity-dependent signaling between retinal axons and their postsynaptic targets.

NMDA Currents Modulate the Synaptic Input–Output Functions of Neurons in the Dorsal Nucleus of the Lateral Lemniscus in Mongolian Gerbils [PDF]
, 2011 Neurons in the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (DNLL) receive excitatory and inhibitory inputs from the superior olivary complex (SOC) and convey GABAergic inhibition to the contralateral DNLL and the inferior colliculi.

Convulsant actions of 4-aminopyridine on the guinea-pig olfactory cortex slice [PDF]
, 1982 The effects of bath-applied 4-aminopyridine on neurones and extracellular potassium and calcium concentrations were recorded in slices of guinea-pig olfactory cortex. Neurones were orthodromically activated by stimulating the lateral olfactory tract.

AMPA Receptor Trafficking for Postsynaptic Potentiation [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Long-term potentiation (LTP) of excitatory synaptic strength, which has long been considered a synaptic correlate for learning and memory, requires a fast recruitment of additional α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA) receptors (AMPARs) to the postsynaptic sites.
