Coordinating Different Homeostatic Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this issue of Neuron, Bergquist and colleagues study a rapid form of presynaptic homeostatic regulation at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction. They show that the K(+) channel genes shal and shaker are reciprocally regulated in the central nervous system and suggest a hierarchical organization of intrinsic and synaptic homeostatic regulatory processes.

Brain uncoupling protein 2: uncoupled neuronal mitochondria predict thermal synapses in homeostatic centers.
Distinct brain peptidergic circuits govern peripheral energy homeostasis and related behavior. Here we report that mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is expressed discretely in neurons involved in homeostatic regulation. UCP2 protein was associated with the mitochondria of neurons, predominantly in axons and axon terminals. UCP2-producing neurons were found to be the targets of periphera...
متن کاملHebbian plasticity requires compensatory processes on multiple timescales
We review a body of theoretical and experimental research on Hebbian and homeostatic plasticity, starting from a puzzling observation: while homeostasis of synapses found in experiments is a slow compensatory process, most mathematical models of synaptic plasticity use rapid compensatory processes (RCPs). Even worse, with the slow homeostatic plasticity reported in experiments, simulations of e...
متن کاملInvestigating the interaction between the homeostatic and circadian processes of sleep-wake regulation for the prediction of waking neurobehavioural performance.
The two-process model of sleep regulation has been applied successfully to describe, predict, and understand sleep-wake regulation in a variety of experimental protocols such as sleep deprivation and forced desynchrony. A non-linear interaction between the homeostatic and circadian processes was reported when the model was applied to describe alertness and performance data obtained during force...
متن کاملEvolving an Artificial Homeostatic System
Theory presented by Ashby states that the process of homeostasis is directly related to intelligence and to the ability of an individual in successfully adapting to dynamic environments or disruptions. This paper presents an artificial homeostatic system entirely under evolutionary control, composed of an extended model of the GasNet artificial neural network framework, named NSGasNet, and an a...
متن کاملStable Control of Firing Rate Mean and Variance by Dual Homeostatic Mechanisms
Homeostatic processes that provide negative feedback to regulate neuronal firing rates are essential for normal brain function. Indeed, multiple parameters of individual neurons, including the scale of afferent synapse strengths and the densities of specific ion channels, have been observed to change on homeostatic time scales to oppose the effects of chronic changes in synaptic input. This rai...
