Structural dynamics of dendritic spines in memory and cognition

TLDR
The onset of long-term potentiation, spine-volume growth and an increase in receptor trafficking are coincident, enabling a 'functional readout' of spine structure that links the age, size, strength and lifetime of a synapse.

Dendritic spine pathology in neuropsychiatric disorders

TL;DR: This work discusses recent neuropathological, genetic, molecular and animal model studies that implicate structural alterations at spiny synapses in the pathogenesis of major neurological disorders, focusing on ASD, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease as representatives of these categories across different ages of onset.

Molecular Mechanisms of Fear Learning and Memory

TL;DR: This work discusses the neurotransmitter systems and signaling cascades that contribute to three phases of auditory fear conditioning: acquisition, consolidation, and reconsolidation and suggests that multiple intracellular signaling pathways interact to produce neural plasticity in the LA and behavioral fear conditioning.
Journal ArticleDOI

NMDA Receptor-Dependent Long-Term Potentiation and Long-Term Depression (LTP/LTD)

TL;DR: The investigation of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying these forms of synaptic plasticity has received much attention, because NMDA receptor-dependent LTP and LTD may constitute cellular substrates of learning and memory.

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.

Receptive fields of single neurones in the cat's striate cortex

TL;DR: The present investigation, made in acute preparations, includes a study of receptive fields of cells in the cat's striate cortex, which resembled retinal ganglion-cell receptive fields, but the shape and arrangement of excitatory and inhibitory areas differed strikingly from the concentric pattern found in retinalganglion cells.
