Learning with Delayed Synaptic Plasticity [PDF]
The plasticity property of biological neural networks allows them to perform learning and optimize their behavior by changing their configuration. Inspired by biology, plasticity can be modeled in artificial neural networks by using Hebbian learning ...

Network self-organization explains the statistics and dynamics of synaptic connection strengths in cortex [PDF]
The information processing abilities of neural circuits arise from their synaptic connection patterns. Understanding the laws governing these connectivity patterns is essential for understanding brain function.

Summary: It is well established that long-term depression (LTD) can be initiated by either NMDA or mGluR activation. Here we report that sustained activation of GluK2 subunit-containing kainate receptors (KARs) leads to α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4 ...

Microglia regulation of synaptic plasticity and learning and memory
Microglia are the resident macrophages of the central nervous system. Microglia possess varied morphologies and functions. Under normal physiological conditions, microglia mainly exist in a resting state and constantly monitor their microenvironment and ...

GluK2 Q/R editing regulates kainate receptor signaling and long-term potentiation of AMPA receptors
Summary: Q/R editing of the kainate receptor (KAR) subunit GluK2 radically alters recombinant KAR properties, but the effects on endogenous KARs in vivo remain largely unexplored.

Synaptic plasticity and mental health: methods, challenges and opportunities
Activity-dependent synaptic plasticity is a ubiquitous property of the nervous system that allows neurons to communicate and change their connections as a function of past experiences.

Curiosity, or novelty seeking, is a fundamental mechanism motivating animals to explore and exploit environments to improve survival, and is also positively associated with cognitive, intrapersonal and interpersonal well-being in humans.

Imaging synaptic plasticity [PDF]
Over the past decade, the use and development of optical imaging techniques has advanced our understanding of synaptic plasticity by offering the spatial and temporal resolution necessary to examine long-term changes at individual synapses. Here, we review the use of these techniques in recent studies of synaptic plasticity and, in particular, long ...

Background The globus pallidus internus is the main target for the treatment of dystonia by deep brain stimulation. Unfortunately, for some genetic etiologies, the therapeutic outcome of dystonia is less predictable.
