Long-Range Intracortical Excitation Shapes Olfactory Processing
Recurrent intracortical connections are believed to be especially dense in the piriform cortex. Two studies in this issue of Neuron report several interesting features of the long-range intracortical connections and reveal their physiological roles in shaping olfactory processing.
متن کاملStrychnine overdose following ingestion of gopher bait.
A 52-year-old male was discovered supine on his bed in a state of early decomposition. Commercial strychnine-treated gopher pellets were found in the home, and suicide notes were present at the scene. Biological fluids and tissues were tested for basic, acidic, and neutral drugs using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Concentrations of strychnine in heart and femoral blood were 0.96 and 0.3...
متن کاملTonically Balancing Intracortical Excitation and Inhibition by GABAergic Gliotransmission
For sensory cortices to respond reliably to feature stimuli, the balancing of neuronal excitation and inhibition is crucial. A typical example might be the balancing of phasic excitation within cell assemblies and phasic inhibition between cell assemblies. The former controls the gain of and the latter the tuning of neuronal responses. A change in ambient GABA concentration might affect the dyn...
متن کاملStrychnine and Memory Process
feedback training can lead to large and significant changes in alpha densities when conditions have lowered alpha density below the levels seen spontaneously under optimal conditions. Subjects can acquire volitional control over alpha activity only under conditions which normally lead to decreased densities. Thus, during the initial orientation in the dark, when subjects experiment, but are not...
متن کاملStrychnine in Fever
Sin,?Mr. Hall, of the Royal Artillery, in the last number of the Gazette, calls attention to the use of strychnine as a substitute for quinine in the treatment of malarious fevers, and " has never yet met with any mention, in books, of this medicine having been given as a substitute for quinine." In the Year Book of the new Sydenham Society for 1862, at page 51, there will be found a record of ...
