Environmental enrichment increases paired-pulse depression in rat auditory cortex.
Temporal features are important for the identification of natural sounds. Earlier studies have shown that cortical processing of temporal information can be altered by long-term experience with modulated sounds. In a previous study, we observed that environmental enrichment dramatically increased the response of cortical neurons to single tone and noise burst stimuli in both awake and anestheti...
متن کاملSensory experience determines enrichment-induced plasticity in rat auditory cortex.
Our previous studies demonstrated that only a few days of housing in an enriched environment increases response strength and paired-pulse depression in the auditory cortex of awake and anesthetized rats [Engineer, N.D., Percaccio, C.R., Pandya, P.K., Moucha, R., Rathbun, D.L., Kilgard, M.P., 2004. Environmental enrichment improves response strength, threshold, selectivity, and latency of audito...
متن کاملNew paradigm for auditory paired pulse suppression
Sensory gating is a mechanism of sensory processing used to prevent an overflow of irrelevant information, with some indexes, such as prepulse inhibition (PPI) and P50 suppression, often utilized for its evaluation. In addition, those are clinically important for diseases such as schizophrenia. In the present study, we investigated long-latency paired-pulse suppression of change-related cortica...
متن کاملDifferential paired pulse depression of non-NMDA and NMDA currents in pyramidal cells of the rat frontal cortex.
Excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) were induced in layer II-V pyramidal cells in the frontal cortex of the young rat (postnatal day 14-21) by stimulation of layers II/III in the presence of bicuculline using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. EPSCs usually consisted of fast and slow components that were sensitive to CNQX and APV, respectively. In response to paired stimuli of identical...
متن کاملPaired-pulse depression at photoreceptor synapses.
Synaptic depression produced by repetitive stimulation is likely to be particularly important in shaping responses of second-order retinal neurons at the tonically active photoreceptor synapse. We analyzed the time course and mechanisms of synaptic depression at rod and cone synapses using paired-pulse protocols involving two complementary measurements of exocytosis: (1) paired whole-cell recor...
