Regulation of adenylyl cyclase 5 in striatal neurons confers the ability to detect coincident neuromodulatory signals

Ursula Röthlisberger, Siri Camee van Keulen, Daniele Narzi

Author summary Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) are enzymes that can translate extracellular signals into the intracellular molecule cAMP, which is thus a 2nd messenger of extracellular events. The brain expresses nine membrane-bound AC variants, and AC5 is the dom ...

Cbp-dependent histone acetylation mediates axon regeneration induced by environmental enrichment in rodent spinal cord injury models

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Claudia Kathe, Thomas Haynes Hutson, Kay Alexander Bartholdi

After a spinal cord injury, axons fail to regenerate in the adult mammalian central nervous system, leading to permanent deficits in sensory and motor functions. Increasing neuronal activity after an injury using electrical stimulation or rehabilitation ca ...

Analog Control of Retainable Resistance Multistates in HfO2 Resistive-Switching Random Access Memories (ReRAMs)

Yusuf Leblebici, Jury Sandrini, Elmira Shahrabi, Cecilia Giovinazzo

Resistive-switching random access memory (ReRAM) technologies are nowadays a good candidate to overcome the bottleneck of Von Neumann architectures, taking advantage of their logic-in-memory capability and the ability to mimic biological synapse behavior. ...

Axon regeneration and circuit reorganization after complete spinal cord injury

Sabry Leonardo Barlatey

First human trials involving neuroprosthetic rehabilitation demonstrated recently that significant functional benefits can be achieved with lumbosacral neuromodulation and reorganized spared projections. However, complete spinal cord injuries (SCI) wholly ...

Inhaling xenon ameliorates l -dopa-induced dyskinesia in experimental parkinsonism

Grégoire Courtine, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Tomislav Milekovic, Shiqi Sun

Parkinson's disease motor symptoms are treated with levodopa, but long‐term treatment leads to disabling dyskinesia. Altered synaptic transmission and maladaptive plasticity of corticostriatal glutamatergic projections play a critical role in the pathophys ...

Cannabis use in early psychosis is associated with reduced glutamate levels in the prefrontal cortex

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin

Recent studies have shown that cannabis may disrupt glutamate (Glu) signaling depressing Glu tone in frequent users. Current evidence have also consistently reported lower Glu-levels in various brain regions, particularly in the medial prefrontal cortex (m ...

Locally coordinated synaptic plasticity of visual cortex neurons in vivo

Graham Knott, Sami El-Boustani

Plasticity of cortical responses in vivo involves activity-dependent changes at synapses, but the manner in which different forms of synaptic plasticity act together to create functional changes in neurons remains unknown. We found that spike timing-induce ...

Towards a unified understanding of synaptic plasticity : parsimonious modeling and simulation of the glutamatergic synapse life-cycle

Giuseppe Chindemi

Understanding how learning and memory formation work in the brain is a major challenge in neuroscience, with important implications for many other fields, including medicine and industry. It is nowadays widely accepted that synaptic plasticity is the biolo ...

Pansynaptic Enlargement at Adult Cortical Connections Strengthened by Experience

Graham Knott

Behavioral experience alters the strength of neuronal connections in adult neocortex. These changes in synaptic strength are thought to be central to experience-dependent plasticity, learning, and memory. However, it is not known how changes in synaptic tr ...
