The Effect of Different Forms of Synaptic Plasticity on Pattern Recognition in the Cerebellar Cortex [PDF]
“The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com”. Copyright Springer.Many cerebellar learning theories assume that long-term depression (LTD) of synapses between parallel fibres (PFs) and Purkinje cells (PCs) provides the basis for pattern

Inhibitory interneuron subtypes differentially control place cell representations in CA1. Here, the authors show that parvalbumin and somatostatin interneuron synapses onto CA1 pyramidal neurons exhibit distinct plasticity mechanisms and incorporating ...

Linking spontaneous and stimulated spine dynamics
Our brains continuously acquire and store memories through synaptic plasticity. However, spontaneous synaptic changes can also occur and pose a challenge for maintaining stable memories.

Synaptic plasticity through activation of GluA3-containing AMPA-receptors
Excitatory synaptic transmission is mediated by AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs). In CA1 pyramidal neurons of the hippocampus two types of AMPARs predominate: those that contain subunits GluA1 and GluA2 (GluA1/2), and those that contain GluA2 and ...

Neurodegenerative Disease: What Potential Therapeutic Role of Acid-Sensing Ion Channels?
Acidic pH shift occurs in many physiological neuronal activities such as synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity but also represents a characteristic feature of many pathological conditions including inflammation and ischemia.

AMPA Receptor Phosphorylation and Synaptic Colocalization on Motor Neurons Drive Maladaptive Plasticity below Complete Spinal Cord Injury. [PDF]
Clinical spinal cord injury (SCI) is accompanied by comorbid peripheral injury in 47% of patients. Human and animal modeling data have shown that painful peripheral injuries undermine long-term recovery of locomotion through unknown mechanisms ...

Synaptic plasticity in medial vestibular nucleus neurons: comparison with computational requirements of VOR adaptation [PDF]
Background: Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain adaptation, a longstanding experimental model of cerebellar learning, utilizes sites of plasticity in both cerebellar cortex and brainstem.

SUMOylation of FOXP1 regulates transcriptional repression via CtBP1 to drive dendritic morphogenesis
Forkhead Box P (FOXP) transcriptional repressors play a major role in brain development and their dysfunction leads to human cognitive disorders. However, little is known about how the activity of these proteins is regulated.

Endoplasmic reticulum visits highly active spines and prevents runaway potentiation of synapses
In hippocampal pyramidal cells, a subset of dendritic spines contain endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, the authors show that ER enters dendritic spines in a non-random manner, during high synaptic activity with the function of limiting synaptic strength.
