Neuronal Plasticity in the Entorhinal Cortex
The entorhinal cortex (EC) is a unique and fascinating structure, constituting a highly parallel interface between phylogenetically old cortex (hippocampus) and higher neo-cortical areas. The literature related to the EC has increased dramatically in the past 30 years. A simple PubMed search for EC lists around 20–40 articles per year in the early 1980s. This more than doubled by the beginning ...
متن کاملPlasticity in the entorhinal cortex suppresses memory for contextual fear.
Several studies have delineated a role for the hippocampus in fear conditioning. However, in this task, the role of the entorhinal cortex (EC), the main input-output structure for the hippocampus, is uncertain. The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) cascade has been shown to be a molecular correlate for long-term memory, and its activity is required for various types of memory storage,...

متن کاملEffects of acetylcholine on neuronal properties in entorhinal cortex
The entorhinal cortex (EC) receives prominent cholinergic innervation from the medial septum and the vertical limb of the diagonal band of Broca (MSDB). To understand how cholinergic neurotransmission can modulate behavior, research has been directed toward identification of the specific cellular mechanisms in EC that can be modulated through cholinergic activity. This review focuses on intrins...
متن کاملNeuronal response properties of somatosensory cortex (layer IV) are modulated following experience dependent plasticity in c-fiber depleted rats
Previous studies have shown that the receptive field properties, spontaneous activity and spatio-temporal interactions of low-threshold mechanical somatosensory cells in the barrel cortex are influenced by C-fibers. In this study, we examined the effect of C-fiber depletion on response properties of barrel cortex neurons following experience dependent plasticity. Methods: In this study, exte...
