Improvement and Impairment of Visually Guided Behavior through LTP- and LTD-like Exposure-Based Visual Learning
Cellular studies have focused on long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) to understand requirements for persistent changes in synaptic connections. Whereas LTP is induced through high-frequency intermittent stimulation, low-frequency stimulation evokes LTD. Because of the ubiquitous efficacy of these protocols, they are considered fundamental mechanisms underlying learning. ...
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...
متن کاملExploring the Use of Sensorial LTP/LTD-Like Stimulation to Modulate Human Performance for Complex Visual Stimuli
Is it possible to passively induce visual learning/unlearning in humans for complex stimuli such as faces? We addressed this question in a series of behavioral studies using passive visual stimulation (flickering of faces at specific temporal frequencies) inspired by well-known synaptic mechanisms of learning: long-term potentiation (LTP) vs long-term depression (LTD). We administered a face id...
متن کاملTraining-induced plasticity in the visual cortex of adult rats following visual discrimination learning.
Changes in synaptic efficacy, including long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), provide mechanisms for experience-induced plasticity and play a key role in learning processes. Some types of learning (e.g., motor learning, fear conditioning) result in LTP and/or LTD-like changes at synapses. Here, rats learned to discriminate two visual stimuli, P+ and P-, indicating the pre...
متن کاملHomeostatic and nonhomeostatic modulation of learning in human motor cortex.
Motor learning is important throughout life for acquisition and adjustment of motor skill. The extent of motor learning may be modulated by the history of motor cortex activity, but little is known which metaplasticity rule (homeostatic vs nonhomeostatic) governs this interaction. Here, we explored in nine healthy adults the effects of three different paired associative stimulation (PAS) protoc...
