Short-term plasticity of the motor cortex compensates for bradykinesia in Parkinson’s disease
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) show impaired short-term potentiation (STP) mechanisms in the primary motor cortex (M1). However, the role played by this neurophysiological abnormality in bradykinesia pathophysiology is unknown.

SHORT-TERM CIGARETTE SMOKE EXPOSURE POTENTIATES ENDOTOXIN-INDUCED PULMONARY INFLAMMATION
Long-term cigarette smoke exposure is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, the effects of short-term smoke inhalation are less clear, because it may adversely affect the lung only if underlying disease is present. To test this hypothesis, Syrian hamsters were passively exposed to cigarette smoke for 2 hours per day over a ...

Short-term synaptic plasticity in the nociceptive thalamic-anterior cingulate pathway
Background Although the mechanisms of short- and long-term potentiation of nociceptive-evoked responses are well known in the spinal cord, including central sensitization, there has been a growing body of information on such events in the cerebral cortex.

Associative induction of short-term potentiation in rat hippocampus
Tetanic stimulation of excitatory afferent pathways in the hippocampus can lead to long-term potentiation (LTP) of the postsynaptic response. Simultaneous tetanization of two separate but convergent afferent pathways can result in associative LTP, which exhibits a magnitude that is greater than the sum of the individual potentiations.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key diffusible messenger in the mammalian brain. It has been proposed that NO may diffuse in retrograde into presynaptic terminals, contributing to the induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP).

Short-term depression and long-term plasticity together tune sensitive range of synaptic plasticity.
Synaptic efficacy is subjected to activity-dependent changes on short- and long time scales. While short-term changes decay over minutes, long-term modifications last from hours up to a lifetime and are thought to constitute the basis of learning and ...

Presenilins regulate synaptic plasticity in the perforant pathways of the hippocampus
Mutations in the Presenilin genes (PSEN1 and PSEN2) are the major cause of familial Alzheimer’s disease (AD), highlighting the importance of Presenilin (PS) in AD pathogenesis.
