Molecular Mechanisms of Synaptic Plasticity: Dynamic Changes in Neuron Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The human brain has hundreds of billions neurons and at least 7 million dendrites have been hypothesized to exist for each neuron, with over 100 trillion neuron–neuron, neuron–muscle, neuron–endocrine cell synapses [...]

Molecular Mechanisms in Synaptic Plasticity
Brain is a sophisticated information processing and storage system with capabilities unmatched by any manmade computers. Neurons, the primary building blocks of the brain are structurally and functionally specialized to do these functions. The neuronal membrane is equipped with several types of ion channel and ion pump proteins which enable it to conduct nerve impulses in the form of electroche...

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 کاملLearning and memory, part II: molecular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity.
Learning and Memory, Part I, described how shortterm memories are consolidated into long-term memories and the brain regions involved in this process. As previously discussed, the hippocampus is required for the formation of declarative memories (conscious memories of events and facts). This type of memory was destroyed in the famous clinical case of H.M. after he sustained a bilateral hippocam...
