Excitatory Postsynaptic Currents

Fine control of neuronal activity is crucial to rapidly adjust to subtle changes of the environment. This fine tuning was thought… Expand

Activity has an important role in refining synaptic connectivity during development, in part through 'Hebbian' mechanisms such as… Expand

The haemodynamic responses to neural activity that underlie the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal used in functional… Expand

Information is stored in neural circuits through long-lasting changes in synaptic strengths,. Most studies of information storage… Expand

Glutamate, the neurotransmitter at most excitatory synapses in the brain, activates a variety of receptor subtypes that can… Expand

Although neurotrophins are primarily associated with long-term effects on neuronal survival and differentiation, recent studies… Expand

1. Simultaneous whole‐cell recordings in a rat brain slice preparation are described from presynaptic terminals (calyces of Held… Expand

Presynaptic inhibition of neurotransmitter release is thought to be mediated by a reduction of axon terminal Ca2+ current. We… Expand

We studied with the whole-cell recording techniques, the mechanisms underlying the time course of the slow N-methyl-D-aspartate… Expand

1. Monosynaptic excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) evoked between pairs of cultured neurones from either hippocampus or… Expand
