Synaptic Mechanisms Underlying Sparse Coding of Active Touch
Sensory information is actively gathered by animals, but the synaptic mechanisms driving neuronal circuit function during active sensory processing are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the synaptically driven membrane potential dynamics during active whisker sensation using whole-cell recordings from layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in the primary somatosensory barrel cortex of behaving mice...
متن کاملSynaptic mechanisms underlying auditory processing.
In vivo voltage clamp recordings have provided new insights into the synaptic mechanisms that underlie processing in the primary auditory cortex. Of particular importance are the discoveries that excitatory and inhibitory inputs have similar frequency and intensity tuning, that excitation is followed by inhibition with a short delay, and that the duration of inhibition is briefer than expected....
متن کاملIntrinsic membrane properties and inhibitory synaptic input of kenyon cells as mechanisms for sparse coding?
The insect mushroom bodies (MBs) are multimodal signal processing centers and are essential for olfactory learning. Electrophysiological recordings from the MBs' principal component neurons, the Kenyon cells (KCs), showed a sparse representation of olfactory signals. It has been proposed that the intrinsic and synaptic properties of the KC circuitry combine to reduce the firing of action potent...
متن کاملLateral Inhibition Underlying Suppression of Neuronal Activity and Sparse Coding
The functional importance of lateral inhibition in neural processing has been well documented, but the detailed mechanism is still hotly debated. In previous studies, we showed that lateral inhibition serves to decrease firing rates in neurons to the level corresponding to the best representation of stimuli. To further validate this hypothesis, we examine whether a sparse coding model is compat...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying dedepression of synaptic NMDA receptors in the hippocampus.
N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-mediated synaptic responses in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells are depressed during NMDAR-dependent long-term depression (LTD) due to mechanisms, in part, distinct from those underlying LTD of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR)-mediated synaptic responses. The mechanisms underlying dedepression of synaptic NMDARs, howe...
