A form of perforant path LTP can occur without ERK1/2 phosphorylation or immediate early gene induction.
Stimulation paradigms that induce perforant path long-term potentiation (LTP) initiate phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and induce expression of a variety of immediate early genes (IEGs). These events are thought to be critical components of the mechanism for establishing the changes in synaptic efficacy that endure for hours or longer. Here we show that in mice, perforant path LTP can be induced usin...
متن کاملTemporal Control of Immediate Early Gene Induction by Light
BACKGROUND The light-gated cation channel channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) is a powerful tool for the optical induction of action potentials in neurons. Mutations of the cysteine 128 (C128) residue have been shown to greatly extend the lifetime of the conducting state of ChR2. However, until now, only subthreshold depolarizations have been reported from C128 mutants. METHODS AND FINDINGS Here we rep...
متن کامل5-HT1a receptor antagonists block perforant path-dentate LTP induced in novel, but not familiar, environments.
Numerous studies suggest roles for monoamines in modulating long-term potentiation (LTP). Previously, we reported that both induction and maintenance of perforant path-dentate gyrus LTP is enhanced when induced while animals explore novel environments. Here we investigate the contribution of serotonin and 5-HT1a receptors to the novelty-mediated enhancement of LTP. In freely moving animals, sys...
متن کاملFigure-ground segmentation can occur without attention.
The question of whether or not figure-ground segmentation can occur without attention is unresolved. Early theorists assumed it can, but the evidence is scant and open to alternative interpretations. Recent research indicating that attention can influence figure-ground segmentation raises the question anew. We examined this issue by asking participants to perform a demanding change-detection ta...
متن کاملImmediate early gene expression associated with the persistence of heterosynaptic long-term depression in the hippocampus.
Long-term depression (LTD) of synaptic efficacy is likely to be as important in memory processing as the more well-known long-term potentiation (LTP). The case for LTD serving as a memory mechanism, however, requires that it be shown to persist across days or weeks at least. Here we examined the persistence of heterosynaptic LTD in the medial and lateral perforant path inputs to the dentate gyr...
