Towards an Understanding of Synapse Formation.

TL;DR: It is proposed that engagement of multifarious synaptic CAMs produces parallel trans-synaptic signals that mediate the establishment, organization, and plasticity of synapses, thereby controlling information processing by neural circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Mechanisms and Functions of Synaptic Facilitation.

TL;DR: The ability of the brain to store and process information relies on changing the strength of connections between neurons as discussed by the authors, which is a form of short-term plasticity that enhances synaptic transmission for less than a second.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hippocampal LTP and contextual learning require surface diffusion of AMPA receptors

TL;DR: Interference with AMPAR surface diffusion markedly impairs synaptic potentiation of Schaffer collaterals and commissural inputs to the CA1 area of the mouse hippocampus in cultured slices, acute slices and in vivo, providing a direct demonstration that the recruitment of new receptors to synapses by surface diffusion is a critical mechanism for the expression of LTP and hippocampal learning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcellular Nanoalignment of Synaptic Function.

TL;DR: The organization of each compartment is described and it is proposed that this architecture may allow for precise synaptic information exchange and may be modulated to contribute to the remarkable plasticity of brain function.

Two-Photon Laser Scanning Fluorescence Microscopy

TL;DR: The fluorescence emission increased quadratically with the excitation intensity so that fluorescence and photo-bleaching were confined to the vicinity of the focal plane as expected for cooperative two-photon excitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of recent memory after bilateral hippocampal lesions.

TL;DR: The results of these studies point to the importance of the hippocampal complex for normal memory function in patients who had undergone similar, but less radical, bilateral medial temporallobe resections, and as a warning to others of the risk to memory involved in bilateral surgical lesions of the hippocampusal region.

Long-lasting potentiation of synaptic transmission in the dentate area of the anaesthetized rabbit following stimulation of the perforant path.

TL;DR: The after‐effects of repetitive stimulation of the perforant path fibres to the dentate area of the hippocampal formation have been examined with extracellular micro‐electrodes in rabbits anaesthetized with urethane.
Journal ArticleDOI

The organization of behavior.

TL;DR: Reading is a need and a hobby at once and this condition is the on that will make you feel that you must read.

Magnesium gates glutamate-activated channels in mouse central neurones

TL;DR: The voltage dependence of the NMDA receptor-linked conductance appears to be a consequence of the voltage dependenceof the Mg2+ block and its interpretation does not require the implication of an intramembrane voltage-dependent ‘gate’.
