Factors Influencing Short-term Synaptic Plasticity in the Avian Cochlear Nucleus Magnocellularis
Defined as reduced neural responses during high rates of activity, synaptic depression is a form of short-term plasticity important for the temporal filtering of sound. In the avian cochlear nucleus magnocellularis (NM), an auditory brainstem structure, mechanisms regulating short-term synaptic depression include pre-, post-, and extrasynaptic factors. Using varied paired-pulse stimulus interva...
متن کاملAspirin changes short term synaptic plasticity in CA1 area of the rat hippocampus
Introduction: The prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a cyclooxygenase (COX) product, play critical roles in the synaptic plasticity. Therefore, long term use of COX inhibitors may impair the synaptic plasticity. Considering the wide clinical administration of aspirin and its unknown effects on information processing in the brain, the effect of aspirin and sodium salicylate on the short term synaptic p...
متن کاملSynaptic Plasticity: Short Term
Chemical synapses are rarely static transmitters of information between neurons. Their effectiveness waxes and wanes, depending on the frequency of stimulation and the history of prior activity. At most synapses, repetitive highfrequency action potentials (often called a tetanus) initially result in a rapid growth of successive postsynaptic potential (PSP) amplitudes, called synaptic facilitati...
متن کاملShort-term synaptic plasticity.
Synaptic transmission is a dynamic process. Postsynaptic responses wax and wane as presynaptic activity evolves. This prominent characteristic of chemical synaptic transmission is a crucial determinant of the response properties of synapses and, in turn, of the stimulus properties selected by neural networks and of the patterns of activity generated by those networks. This review focuses on syn...
متن کاملEndogenous mGluR activity suppresses GABAergic transmission in avian cochlear nucleus magnocellularis neurons.
GABAergic transmission in the avian cochlear nucleus magnocellularis (NM) of the chick is subject to modulation by gamma-aminobutyric acid type B (GABA(B)) autoreceptors. Here, I investigated modulation of GABAergic transmission in NM by metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) with whole cell recordings in brain slice preparations. I found that tACPD, a nonspecific mGluR agonist, exerted dose...
