■ Recent work showed that short-term memory (STM) is selectively reduced in GluR1 knockout mice. This raises the possibility that a form of synaptic modification dependent on Gl...

Knowledge of the effect of dopamine on corticostriatal synaptic plasticity has advanced rapidly over the last 5 years. We consider this new knowledge in relation to three factors ...
Pattern completion in a neural network model of the thalamus and a biologically plausible model of synaptic plasticity are the key concepts used in this paper for analyzing some c...
Mormyrid electric sh use mormyromastreceptors in their skin to detect distortions in a self-generated electric eld. The electroreceptor a erents modulate neuronal activity in the ...
Different mechanisms that could form the molecular basis for bi-directional synaptic plasticity have been identified experimentally and corresponding biophysical models can be cons...

The importance of the hippocampus in spatial representation is well established. It is suggested that the rodent hippocampal network should provide an optimal substrate for the stu...

Abstract. Recent experimental observations of spiketiming-dependent synaptic plasticity (STDP) have revitalized the study of synaptic learning rules. The most surprising aspect of ...
Synaptic plasticity is believed to underlie the formation of appropriate patterns of connectivity that stabilize stimulus-selective reverberations in the cortex. Here we present a ...
Abstract. The neural circuits of birdsong appear to utilize specific time delays in their operation. In particular, the anterior forebrain pathway (AFP) is implicated in an approxi...

We simulate the induction and maintenance of late long-term potentiation (L-LTP) in the hippocampal dentate gyrus by means of a new synaptic plasticity rule that is the result of ...
