Synaptic connections between layer 4 spiny neurone‐ layer 2/3 pyramidal cell pairs in juvenile rat barrel cortex: physiology and anatomy of interlaminar signalling within a cortical column
Whole‐cell voltage recordings were obtained from 64 synaptically coupled excitatory layer 4 (L4) spiny neurones and L2/3 pyramidal cells in acute slices of the somatosensory cortex (‘barrel’ cortex)… Expand

Locus of frequency‐dependent depression identified with multiple‐probability fluctuation analysis at rat climbing fibre‐Purkinje cell synapses
1 EPSCs were recorded under whole‐cell voltage clamp at room temperature from Purkinje cells in slices of cerebellum from 12‐ to 14‐day‐old rats. EPSCs from individual climbing fibre (CF) inputs were… Expand

Non‐NMDA glutamate receptor occupancy and open probability at a rat cerebellar synapse with single and multiple release sites.
1. Excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) were recorded under whole‐cell voltage clamp from granule cells in slices of rat cerebellum. EPSCs from individual mossy fibre inputs were identified by… Expand

Fast vesicle reloading and a large pool sustain high bandwidth transmission at a central synapse
What limits the rate at which sensory information can be transmitted across synaptic connections in the brain? High-frequency signalling is restricted to brief bursts at many central excitatory… Expand

High-Probability Uniquantal Transmission at Excitatory Synapses in Barrel Cortex
The number of vesicles released at excitatory synapses and the number of release sites per synaptic connection are key determinants of information processing in the cortex, yet they remain uncertain.… Expand

Deactivation and desensitization of non‐NMDA receptors in patches and the time course of EPSCs in rat cerebellar granule cells.
1. Spontaneous and evoked non‐NMDA receptor‐mediated EPSCs were recorded from cerebellar granule cells in slices at approximately 24 and approximately 34 degrees C. The EPSC decay was fitted with the… Expand

The Contribution of Single Synapses to Sensory Representation in Vivo
The extent to which synaptic activity can signal a sensory stimulus limits the information available to a neuron. We determined the contribution of individual synapses to sensory representation by… Expand

Rapid Desynchronization of an Electrically Coupled Interneuron Network with Sparse Excitatory Synaptic Input
Summary Electrical synapses between interneurons contribute to synchronized firing and network oscillations in the brain. However, little is known about how such networks respond to excitatory… Expand
