Mechanisms for Neural Signal Enhancement in the Blowfly Compound Eye
In the blowfly Calliphora vicina visual signals are enhanced by amplification and antagonism as they pass from the site of phototransduction in the retina to secondorder neurones (LMCs) in the first optic neuropile, the lamina. The mechanisms responsible for amplification and antagonism were investigated, using currentclamp techniques, to examine the conductance mechanisms generating LMC respon...
متن کاملExtracellular potentials modify the transfer of information at photoreceptor output synapses in the blowfly compound eye.
Signal processing in fly photoreceptors and visual interneurons takes place with graded potentials. Photoreceptors drive large monopolar cells (LMCs) with synapses that, like their counterparts in vertebrates, have a high gain and introduce strong spatiotemporal antagonism (Laughlin et al., 1987) that implements predictive coding (Srinivasan et al., 1982). The synapses are contained in compartm...
متن کاملFrequency-selective transmission of graded signals in large monopolar neurons of blowfly Calliphora vicina compound eye.
The functional roles of voltage-gated K(+)(Kv) channels in visual system interneurons remain poorly studied. We have addressed this problem in the large monopolar cells (LMCs) of the blowfly Calliphora vicina, using intracellular recordings and mathematical modeling methods. Intracellular recordings were performed in two cellular compartments: the synaptic zone, which receives input from photor...
متن کاملthe search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame
this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
15 صفحه اولSimilar neural mechanisms for emotion-induced memory impairment and enhancement.
C oncerning emotion’s influence on memory, the psychologist Henri Piéron observed that ‘‘a violent emotion may reinforce memory, and give rise to indelible associations’’ (1). Our common experience (typically with emotions less intense) also tells us that emotional events tend to be well remembered, and extensive scientific evidence confirms anecdotal observations that emotional arousal can str...
