The key roles played by the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in plasticity and cognition underscore this membrane protein as a relevant target to develop cognitive-enhancing drugs. However, NCAM is a structurally and functionally complex molecule with ...
Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP) is a temporally asymmetric form of Hebbian learning induced by tight temporal correlations between the spikes of pre- and postsynaptic neurons. As with other forms of synaptic plasticity, it is widely believed that ...
Cortical neurons receive balanced excitatory and inhibitory synaptic currents. Such a balance could be established and maintained in an experience-dependent manner by synaptic plasticity at inhibitory synapses. We show that this mechanism provides an expla ...
How learning and memory is achieved in the brain is a central question in neuroscience. Key to today’s research into information storage in the brain is the concept of synaptic plasticity, a notion that has been heavily influenced by Hebb’s (1949) postulat ...
Neocortical layer 5 (L5) pyramidal cells have at least two spike initiation zones: Na+ spikes are generated near the soma, and Ca2+ spikes at the apical dendritic tuft. These spikes interact with each other and serve as signals for synaptic plasticity. The ...
Neocortical layer 5 (L5) pyramidal cells have at least two spike initiation zones: Na(+) spikes are generated near the soma, and Ca(2+) spikes at the apical dendritic tuft. These spikes interact with each other and serve as signals for synaptic plasticity. ...
The distribution of synaptic efficacies in neocortex has an approximately lognormal shape. Many weak synaptic connections coexist with few very strong connections such that only 20% of synapses contribute 50% of total synaptic strength. Furthermore, recent ...
Neuroplastin-65 (Np65) is a brain-specific cell adhesion molecule belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Homophilic trans-interaction of Np65 mediates adhesion between cells and modulates synaptic plasticity. This interaction solely occurs through th ...

The two fundamental forms of short-term plasticity, short-term depression and facilitation, coexist at most synapses, but little is known about their interaction. Here, we studied the interplay between short-term depression and facilitation at calyx of Hel ...
