Bistable Parvalbumin Circuits Pivotal for Brain Plasticity
نویسنده
چکیده
Experience shapes brain function throughout life to varying degrees. In a recent issue of Nature, Donato et al. identify reversible shifts in focal parvalbumin cell state during adult learning, placing it on a mechanistic continuum with developmental critical periods. A disinhibitory microcircuit controls the plasticity switch to modulate memory formation.

Modulation of perineuronal nets and parvalbumin with developmental song learning.
Neural circuits and behavior are shaped during developmental phases of maximal plasticity known as sensitive or critical periods. Neural correlates of sensory critical periods have been identified, but their roles remain unclear. Factors that define critical periods in sensorimotor circuits and behavior are not known. Birdsong learning in the zebra finch occurs during a sensitive period similar...
متن کاملCircuits for bistable spike-timing-dependent plasticity neuromorphic VLSI synapses
We present analog neuromorphic circuits for implementing bistable synapses with spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) properties. In these types of synapses, the short-term dynamics of the synaptic efficacies are governed by the relative timing of the preand post-synaptic spikes, while on long time scales the efficacies tend asymptotically to either a potentiated state or to a depressed one....
متن کاملConditional deletion of Mecp2 in parvalbumin-expressing GABAergic cells results in the absence of critical period plasticity.
Mutations in the X-linked gene encoding the transcriptional modulator methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) impair postnatal development of the brain. Here we use neuronal-type specific gene deletion in mice to show that conditional Mecp2 deletion in GABAergic parvalbumin-expressing (PV) cells (PV-Mecp2(-/y)) does not cause most Rett-syndrome-like behaviours, but completely abolishes experience-...
متن کاملProlonged Period of Cortical Plasticity upon Redox Dysregulation in Fast-Spiking Interneurons.
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress and the specific impairment of perisomatic gamma-aminobutyric acid circuits are hallmarks of the schizophrenic brain and its animal models. Proper maturation of these fast-spiking inhibitory interneurons normally defines critical periods of experience-dependent cortical plasticity. METHODS Here, we linked these processes by genetically inducing a redox dysregulatio...
