Amphetamine Promotes Cortical Up State in Part Via Dopamine Receptors
Cortical neurons oscillate between Up and Down states during slow wave sleep and general anesthesia. Recent studies show that Up/Down oscillations also occur during quiet wakefulness.

Prefrontal-Hippocampal Pathways Through the Nucleus Reuniens Are Functionally Biased by Brain State
Circuit-level communication between disparate brain regions is fundamental for the complexities of the central nervous system operation. Co-ordinated bouts of rhythmic activity between the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus (HPC), in particular, are

Slow calcium oscillations in human spermatozoa [PDF]
We have used single-cell imaging to investigate intracellular Ca2+ signalling in human spermatozoa stimulated with progesterone (3 µM). In approx. 9% of cells progesterone caused the activation of slow repetitive [Ca2+]i (intracellular Ca2+ concentration) oscillations, with a period of 1–4 min, which persisted for the duration of recording (20–30 min).

Oscillation criteria for linear difference equations with several variable delays [PDF]
We obtain new sufficient criteria for the oscillation of all solutions of linear delay difference equations with several (variable) finite delays. Our results relax numerous well-known limes inferior-type oscillation criteria from the literature by ...

Slowly modulated oscillations in nonlinear diffusion processes [PDF]
It is shown here that certain systems of nonlinear (parabolic) reaction-diffusion equations have solutions which are approximated by oscillatory functions in the form R(ξ - cτ)P(t^*) where P(t^*) represents a sinusoidal oscillation on a fast time scale t*

The striatum plays an important role in linking cortical activity to basal ganglia outputs. Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are densely expressed in the medium spiny projection neurons and may be a therapeutic target for Parkinson's ...

The heart rhythm is maintained by oscillatory changes in [Ca2+]. However, it has been suggested that the rapid drop in blood pressure that occurs with a slow decrease in [Ca2+] preceding early diastolic filling is related to the mechanism of rapid ...

Both stress and sleep enhance emotional memory. They also interact, with the largest effect of sleep on emotional memory being seen when stress occurs shortly before or after encoding.

Visuomotor Adaptation Modulates the Clustering of Sleep Spindles Into Trains
Sleep spindles are thought to promote memory consolidation. Recently, we have shown that visuomotor adaptation (VMA) learning increases the density of spindles and promotes the coupling between spindles and slow oscillations, locally, with the level of ...

Ongoing slow oscillatory phase modulates speech intelligibility in cooperation with motor cortical activity. [PDF]
Neural oscillation is attracting attention as an underlying mechanism for speech recognition. Speech intelligibility is enhanced by the synchronization of speech rhythms and slow neural oscillation, which is typically observed as human scalp ...
