Miniature neurotransmission is required to maintain Drosophila synaptic structures during ageing

Olivier Burri, Evelyne Ruchti, Brian Donal McCabe, Wei Jiao, Soumya Banerjee, Samuel William Vernon

The decline of neuronal synapses is an established feature of ageing accompanied by the diminishment of neuronal function, and in the motor system at least, a reduction of behavioural capacity. Here, we have investigated Drosophila motor neuron synaptic te ...

Long term effects of peripubertal stress on excitatory and inhibitory circuits in the prefrontal cortex of male and female mice

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

The impact of stressful events is especially important during early life, because certain cortical regions, especially the prefrontal cortex (PFC), are still developing. Consequently, aversive experiences that occur during the peripubertal period can cause ...

Impairment of Glycolysis-Derived L-Serine Production in Astrocytes Contributes to Cognitive Deficits in Alzheimer's Disease

Graham Knott

Alteration of brain aerobic glycolysis is often observed early in the course of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Whether and how such metabolic dysregulation contributes to both synaptic plasticity and behavioral deficits in AD is not known. Here, we show that th ...

Dendritic Voltage Recordings Explain Paradoxical Synaptic Plasticity: A Modeling Study

Wulfram Gerstner, Laureline Logiaco

Experiments have shown that the same stimulation pattern that causes Long-Term Potentiation in proximal synapses, will induce Long-Term Depression in distal ones. In order to understand these, and other, surprising observations we use a phenomenological mo ...

Data-driven integration of hippocampal CA1 synaptic physiology in silico

Eilif Benjamin Muller, Michael Reimann, Srikanth Ramaswamy, András Ecker, Armando Romani

The anatomy and physiology of monosynaptic connections in rodent hippocampal CA1 have been extensively studied in recent decades. Yet, the resulting knowledge remains disparate and difficult to reconcile. Here, we present a data-driven approach to integrat ...

Mesoscopic population equations for spiking neural networks with synaptic short-term plasticity

Wulfram Gerstner, Tilo Schwalger, Valentin Marc Schmutz

Coarse-graining microscopic models of biological neural networks to obtain mesoscopic models of neural activities is an essential step towards multi-scale models of the brain. Here, we extend a recent theory for mesoscopic population dynamics with static s ...

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 ...
