Modulation of synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation: effects on paired pulse facilitation and EPSC variance in the CA1 region of the hippocampus.
- T. Manabe, D. Wyllie, D. Perkel, R. Nicoll
- Chemistry, Physics
- Journal of neurophysiology
- 1 October 1993
1. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings of excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) were made from guinea pig hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells. The sensitivity of paired pulse facilitation (PPF) and EPSC… Expand
Analysis of excitatory synaptic action in pyramidal cells using whole‐cell recording from rat hippocampal slices.

1. The pharmacological and biophysical properties of excitatory synapses in the CA1 region of the hippocampus were studied using patch electrodes and whole‐cell recording from thin slices. 2.… Expand
Revised nomenclature for avian telencephalon and some related brainstem nuclei
- A. Reiner, D. Perkel, +25 authors E. Jarvis
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of comparative neurology
- 31 May 2004
The standard nomenclature that has been used for many telencephalic and related brainstem structures in birds is based on flawed assumptions of homology to mammals. In particular, the outdated… Expand
An essential role for postsynaptic calmodulin and protein kinase activity in long-term potentiation
- R. Malenka, J. Kauer, +4 authors M. Waxham
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 17 August 1989
THE phenomenon of long-term potentiation (LTP), a long lasting increase in the strength of synaptic transmission which is due to brief, repetitive activation of excitatory afferent fibres, is one of… Expand
Excitatory synaptic currents in Purkinje cells
- D. Perkel, S. Hestrin, P. Sah, R. Nicoll
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 22 August 1990
The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA classes of glutamate receptor combine in many regions of the central nervous system to form a dual-component excitatory postsynaptic current. Non-NMDA… Expand
Multiple cell types distinguished by physiological, pharmacological, and anatomic properties in nucleus HVc of the adult zebra finch.
Nucleus HVc of the songbird is a distinct forebrain region that is essential for song production and shows selective responses to complex auditory stimuli. Two neuronal populations within HVc give… Expand
Avian brains and a new understanding of vertebrate brain evolution
- E. Jarvis, O. Güntürkün, +26 authors A. Butler
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Neuroscience
- 1 February 2005
We believe that names have a powerful influence on the experiments we do and the way in which we think. For this reason, and in the light of new evidence about the function and evolution of the… Expand
A Telencephalic Nucleus Essential for Song Learning Contains Neurons with Physiological Characteristics of Both Striatum and Globus Pallidus
- M. Farries, D. Perkel
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 1 May 2002
The song system of oscine birds has frequently been presented as a model system for motor learning in vertebrates. This practice has been bolstered by the growing recognition that one part of the… Expand
Striatal Dopamine Modulates Basal Ganglia Output and Regulates Social Context-Dependent Behavioral Variability through D1 Receptors
- A. Leblois, Benjamin J. Wendel, D. Perkel
- Psychology, Medicine
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 21 April 2010
Cortico-basal ganglia (BG) circuits are thought to promote the acquisition of motor skills through reinforcement learning. In songbirds, a specialized portion of the BG is responsible for song… Expand
Evidence for all‐or‐none regulation of neurotransmitter release: implications for long‐term potentiation.
1. We have used the whole‐cell patch‐clamp recording technique to examine the modulation of dual‐component excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) in CA1 pyramidal cells in guinea‐pig hippocampal… Expand
