Modulation of the Frequency Preference and Attractor Structure of Prefrontal Cortical Neurons
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neurons in vitro respond to repetitive injection of the same fluctuating input current with reproducible patterns of precisely timed action potentials. These spike patterns, called attractors, are robust against slow drifts in neuronal response properties that occur during experiments, the effects of intrinsic membrane noise, and small changes in the input. Larger variations in the input lead to new spike patterns that may have different number of spikes (spike insertions or deletions) and different spike times.

Responses of primary somatosensory cortical neurons to controlled mechanical stimulation.
The results of psychophysical studies suggest that displacement velocity may contribute significantly to the sensation of subcortical somatosensory neurons. The cortical correlates of these phenomena, however, are not known. In the present study the responses of rapidly adapting (RA) neurons in the forelimb region of cat primary somatosensory cortex (SI) to controlled displacement of skin and h...
متن کاملThe Effects of L-arginine on the Hippocampus of Male Rat Fetuses under Maternal Stress
Introduction: Prenatal stress has deleterious effects on the development of the brain and is associated with behavioral and psychosocial problems in childhood and adulthood. This study aimed to determine the protective effect of L-arginine on fetal brain under maternal stress. Methods: Twenty pregnant Wistar rats (weighting 200-230 g) were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=5 for each group). T...
متن کاملModulation of frequency receptive field plasticity in rat auditory cortical neurons by electrical stimulation of medial prefrontal cortex.
Using conventional electrophysiological technique, we investigated the effects of stimulating the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) on plasticity of frequency receptive field (RF) in auditory cortical (AC) neurons in rats. When the mPFC was electrically stimulated, the RF plasticity of 51 (27.2%) neurons was not affected and that of 137 neurons (72.8%) was either inhibited (71 neurons, 37.7%) or ...

In this paper, two kinds of chaotic neural networks are proposed to evaluate the efficiency of chaotic dynamics in robust pattern recognition. The First model is designed based on natural selection theory. In this model, attractor recurrent neural network, intelligently, guides the evaluation of chaotic nodes in order to obtain the best solution. In the second model, a different structure of ch...

Modulation of neural activity by monoamine neurotransmitters is thought to play an essential role in shaping computational neurodynamics in the neocortex, especially in prefrontal regions. Computational theories propose that monoamines may exert bidirectional (concentration-dependent) effects on cognition by altering prefrontal cortical attractor dynamics according to an inverted U-shaped funct...
