Calcium dynamics encode the magnitude of a graded memory underlying sensorimotor adaptation.
The role of Ca(2+) in the induction of neural correlates of memory has frequently been described in binary terms despite the fact that many forms of memory are graded in their strength and/or persistence. We find that Ca(2+) dynamics encode the magnitude of sensorimotor adaptation of the electromotor output in a weakly electric fish. The neural correlate of this memory is a synaptically induced...
متن کاملImpact of hypokinesia on dynamics of formation of evoked potentials in sensorimotor cortex in early postnatal ontogenesis
The analysis of evoked potentials of sensorimotor cortex in response to electrical stimulation of n. ischiadicus shows that the extremal factor hypokinesia has a negative impact on the dynamics of formation of amplitudal and temporal characteristics since eyes openning in 2-weeks old rats. The most vulnerable process to the impact of hypokinesia is the first-positive phase, which disappears in ...

متن کاملA “Sample-and-Hold” Pulse-Counting Integrator as a Mechanism for Graded Memory Underlying Sensorimotor Adaptation
The mechanisms behind the induction of cellular correlates of memory by sensory input and their contribution to meaningful behavioral changes are largely unknown. We previously reported a graded memory in the form of sensorimotor adaptation in the electromotor output of electric fish. Here we show that the mechanism for this adaptation is a synaptically induced long-lasting shift in intrinsic n...
متن کاملSENSORIMOTOR CONTROL OVER FUSIMOTOR NEURONS OF THE TENUISSIMUS MUSCLE IN THE A NESTHETIZED CAT: A QUALITATIVE PRIMARY AFFERENT RECORDING
Cortical control of the sensory output of muscle spindles was studied in thirteen anesthetized cats in the present experiment. Gamma motoneuron activity was monitored during electrical stimulation of the sensorimotor cortex while recording from single primary afferents from the tenuissimus muscle. Findings are as follows: 1. The state of anesthesia is crucial in obtaining reproducible resu...
