Topographic maps: Developing roles of synaptic plasticity
Recent studies have provided convincing evidence that cellular forms of synaptic plasticity that are thought to represent the building blocks of learning and memory are also used during development to establish organized sensory projections within the brain.
متن کاملPosttraumatic epilepsy: the roles of synaptic plasticity.
Acute cerebral cortical trauma often leads to paroxysmal activities that terminate in a few hours, but several months later, patients can develop epilepsy. The process occurring between the initial acute triggered seizures and the onset of spontaneous unprovoked seizures is termed epileptogenesis. Here the authors summarize recent morphological, electrophysiological, and computational studies d...
متن کاملPlasticity-Induced Symmetry Relationships Between Adjacent Self-Organizing Topographic Maps
In many species, adjacent topographic maps in sensory neocortex are found to be oriented as roughly mirror-image copies of one another. Here we use a computational model to show for the first time that, in principle, adjacent cortical topographic maps that are mirror-image symmetric along two dimensions can arise from activity-dependent changes if the distribution radius of afferents sufficient...
متن کاملEffects of visual deprivation on synaptic plasticity of visual cortex
TBS (Theta Burst Stimulation) and PBs (Primed Bursts) are among effective tetanic stimulations for induction of LTP in hippocampus. Recent studies have indicated that TBS is effective in LTP induction in layer III synapses of neocortex, only if applied to layer IV. However, the possibility of neocortical LTP induction using PBs, has not yet been investigated. Sensory deprivation greatly influ...
