Journal ArticleDOI
Injection of the cAMP-responsive element into the nucleus of Aplysia sensory neurons blocks long-term facilitation
TL;DR: In this article, a set of proteins, including one with properties similar to mammalian CREBPs, that specifically bind the mammalian CRE sequence were found to be required for long-term facilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatially resolved dynamics of cAMP and protein kinase A subunits in Aplysia sensory neurons
Brian J. Bacskai,Binyamin Hochner,M. Mahaut-Smith,Stephen R. Adams,Bong-Kiun Kaang,Eric R. Kandel,Roger Y. Tsien +6 more
TL;DR: Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase, labeled with fluorescein and rhodamine on the catalytic and regulatory subunits, respectively, was injected into Aplysia sensory neurons either in culture or in intact cell clusters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor primitives in vertebrates and invertebrates.
Tamar Flash,Binyamin Hochner +1 more
TL;DR: This work has suggested that motor and movement primitives and modules might exist at the neural, dynamic and kinematic levels with complicated mapping among the elementary building blocks subserving these different levels of representation.
Journal ArticleDOI
An octopus-bioinspired solution to movement and manipulation for soft robots.
Marcello Calisti,Michele Giorelli,Guy Levy,Barbara Mazzolai,Binyamin Hochner,Cecilia Laschi,Paolo Dario,Paolo Dario +7 more
TL;DR: This study investigates the smart solution that the Octopus vulgaris adopts to perform a crawling movement, with the same limbs used for grasping and manipulation, with a suitable way to build a more complex soft robot that, with minimum control, can perform diverse tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roles of PKA and PKC in facilitation of evoked and spontaneous transmitter release at depressed and nondepressed synapses in Aplysia sensory neurons.
Mirella Ghirardi,Orit Braha,Binyamin Hochner,Pier Giorgio Montarolo,Eric R. Kandel,Nicholas Dale +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that whereas activation of PKA is sufficient to trigger the facilitation of nondepressed synapses, activation of both PKA and PKC is required to facilitate depressedsynapses, with the contribution of PKC becoming progressively more important as synaptic transmission becomes more depressed.
