NOVEL APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY IN THE RAT HIPPOCAMPUS
(2017-08-03)Synaptic plasticity refers to changes in the strength of connections between neurons in response to previous activity. Its experimental correlates, i.e., long-term-potentiation (LTP), a persistent increase in synaptic ... -
Role of polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule in rapid eye movement sleep regulation in rats
(Federation of European Neuroscience Societies and Blackwell Publishing Ltd (currently Wiley), 2009-12-03)Recent evidence suggests that synaptic plasticity occurs during homeostatic processes including sleep-wake regulation, although underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule ... -
Using an Optical Sensor of Synaptic Vesicle Exocytosis to Investigate the Relationship Between Release Probability and Paired-Pulse Plasticity at Individual Hippocampal Synapses
(2016-04-29)Release probability (Pr) is a determinant of synaptic strength that varies considerably between synapses, and correlates with the size of the readily releasable pool (RRP) of synaptic vesicles. Short-term plasticity is ...
