Neuromodulation of the Feedforward Dentate Gyrus-CA3 Microcircuit
نویسندگان
چکیده
The feedforward dentate gyrus-CA3 microcircuit in the hippocampus is thought to activate ensembles of CA3 pyramidal cells and interneurons to encode and retrieve episodic memories. The creation of these CA3 ensembles depends on neuromodulatory input and synaptic plasticity within this microcircuit. Here we review the mechanisms by which the neuromodulators aceylcholine, noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin reconfigure this microcircuit and thereby infer the net effect of these modulators on the processes of episodic memory encoding and retrieval.

Volumetric Study Of Dentate Gyrus And CA3 Region In Hippocampus Of Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats: Effect Of Insulin And Ascorbic Acid
Background and Objectives: Hippocampal volume reduction has been reported in diabetes mellitus type 1. It is believed that hyperglycemia and oxidative stress mediate neuropathological changes in hippocampal neurons. In this study we aimed to study the effect of insulin and an antioxidant like ascorbic acid on preventing volume changes of dentate gyrus and CA3 region of hippocampus. Material...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Insulin and Lascorbic acid on prevention of neuronal in granular layer of dentate gyrus and pyramidal layer of CA3 of hippocampus in streptozotocin-Induced diabetic rats. Methods: In this experimental study, diabetes type 1 was included by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) (60mg/kg) in male adult ...
متن کاملStructure, function, and plasticity of hippocampal dentate gyrus microcircuits
The hippocampus mediates several higher brain functions, such as learning, memory, and spatial coding. The input region of the hippocampus, the dentate gyrus, plays a critical role in these processes. Several lines of evidence suggest that the dentate gyrus acts as a preprocessor of incoming information, preparing it for subsequent processing in CA3. For example, the dentate gyrus converts inpu...
متن کاملInterneuron diversity series: containing the detonation--feedforward inhibition in the CA3 hippocampus.
Feedforward inhibitory circuits are involved both in the suppression of excitability and timing of action potential generation in principal cells. In the CA3 hippocampus, a single mossy fiber from a dentate gyrus granule cell forms giant boutons with multiple release sites, which are capable of detonating CA3 principal cells. By contrast, mossy fiber terminals form a larger number of Lilliputia...
متن کاملComputational Pattern Separation Models of Dentate Gyrus Neural Subpopulation in the Hippocampus
Hippocampus is a part of the brain that has an essential role in memory and learning. It is involved in many cognitive and behavioral phenomena, including the pattern separation process: the ability to distinguish patterns with very high similarity. The present study compared the models of pattern separation in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus and aimed to investigate the significant cel...
