Neuromodulation of Transplanted Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Neurons
Implantation of normal preoptic area (POA) tissue into the third ventricle of adult hypogonadal (HPG) mice provides a source of GnRH neurons that innervate the host median eminence and stimulate reproductive development in the sterile mutants. To further evaluate graft-host integration, the effects of N-methyl-D,L-aspartic acid (NMA) and opiate antagonists on LH secretion in HPG mice with POA t...
متن کاملLow-power Silicon Neurons, Axons, and Synapses
Power consumption is the dominant design issue for battery-powered electronic devices. Biologically-inspired sensory preprocessors may be an important component of portable computing devices that require real-world visual or auditory input. The silicon neural design style presented in (Mead, 1989; Andreou et al., 1991) naturally supports low-power VLSI design; in this design style, MOS transist...
متن کاملSynaptic transmission: Noisy synapses and noisy neurons
The finding that the synapses relaying sensory input to the cortex may have different properties than intracortical synapses has implications not only for sensory processing, but for the role of noise in neural computation as well.
متن کاملProjection-specific neuromodulation of medial prefrontal cortex neurons.
Mnemonic persistent activity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) constitutes the neural basis of working memory. To understand how neuromodulators contribute to the generation of persistent activity, it is necessary to identify the intrinsic properties of the layer V pyramidal neurons that transfer this information to downstream networks. Here we show that the somatic dynamic and integrative propert...
متن کاملNeuromodulation of Thought: Flexibilities and Vulnerabilities in Prefrontal Cortical Network Synapses
This review describes unique neuromodulatory influences on working memory prefrontal cortical (PFC) circuits that coordinate cognitive strength with arousal state. Working memory arises from recurrent excitation within layer III PFC pyramidal cell NMDA circuits, which are afflicted in aging and schizophrenia. Neuromodulators rapidly and flexibly alter the efficacy of these synaptic connections,...
