Journal ArticleDOI
Memory deficits associated with senescence: a neurophysiological and behavioral study in the rat.
TL;DR: The amount of synaptic enhancement was statistically correlated with the ability to perform the circular platform task both within and between groups, and the aftereffects of the high-frequency stimulation selectively impaired the old rats' spontaneous alternation behavior on a T-maze.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theta phase precession in hippocampal neuronal populations and the compression of temporal sequences.
TL;DR: Large‐scale parallel recordings are made use of to clarify and extend the finding that a cell's spike activity advances to earlier phases of the theta cycle as the rat passes through the cell's place field, and to show Granule cells of the fascia dentata are also modulated by theta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural plasticity in the ageing brain
Sara N. Burke,Carol A. Barnes +1 more
TL;DR: Major advances in understanding of age-related changes in the medial temporal lobe and prefrontal cortex are discussed and how these changes in functional plasticity contribute to behavioural impairments in the absence of significant pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of a mitogen-inducible cyclooxygenase in brain neurons: Regulation by synaptic activity and glucocorticoids
TL;DR: The studies indicate that COX-2 expression may be important in regulating prostaglandin signaling in brain, and the marked inducibility in neurons by synaptic stimuli suggests a role in activity-dependent plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arc, a growth factor and activity-regulated gene, encodes a novel cytoskeleton-associated protein that is enriched in neuronal dendrites
Gregory L. Lyford,Kanato Yamagata,Walter E. Kaufmann,Carol A. Barnes,Laura K. Sanders,Neal G. Copeland,Debra J. Gilbert,Nancy A. Jenkins,Anthony Lanahan,Paul F. Worley +9 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence indicates a region of homology with alpha-spectrin, and observations suggest that Arc may play a role in activity-dependent plasticity of dendrites.
