introduction: neurons in layer ii and iii of the somatosensory cortex in rats show high frequency (33 ± 13 hz) of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mepscs) that their rates and amplitudes are independent of sodium channels. there are some changes in these currents in neurodegenerative and psychological disorders. regarding to well known roles of the neuromodulatory brain systems in th...

This paper presents timber lamella structures applied to the circular cylinder surface when all lamellae axes intersect at nodes. To achieve uniformity of elements in this structure, geometry structure must be carefully designed. The main methods for research are graphical and numerical geometric design a prototype construction specific pattern. discussed their ease replication, as well possibi...

Anterograde tracers, Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP), were used to study the thalamocortical afferents of the posteromedial barrel subfield (PMBSF) in rat primary somatosensory cortex (SI) at both light- and electron-microscopic levels. The PMBSF, also known as the barrel cortex, can be subdivided into barrel and interbarrel areas on the basis of cyto...

The capacity of adult barrel cortex to show experience-dependent plasticity after early restricted neonatal sensory deprivation was analyzed in barrel field cortex neurons. Selective sensory deprivation was induced by trimming two whiskers from postnatal day 0 (P0) to P21, namely, the principal D2 whisker plus one adjacent surround whisker (D3). At maturity (P90), responses of supragranular (la...
