Pattern separation is a fundamental brain computation that converts small differences in input patterns into large output patterns. Several synaptic mechanisms of pattern have been proposed, including code expansion, inhibition and plasticity; however, which these play role the entorhinal cortex (EC)–dentate gyrus (DG)–CA3 circuit, classical remains unclear. Here we show biologically realistic,...

Objective(s):To determine the effect of acetylcholine (ACh), pilocarpine, and atropine on pain evoked responses of pain excited neurons (PEN) and pain inhibited neurons (PIN) in hippocampal CA3 region of morphine addicted rats. Materials and Methods:Female Wistar rats, weighing between 230-260 g were used in this study. Morphine addicted rats were generated by subcutaneous injection of increasi...

The search for sustainable resources remains a subject of global interest and the conversion abundantly available bivalve shell wastes to advanced materials is an intriguing method. By grinding, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) powder was obtained from each bivalves (cockle, mussel, oyster) as revealed by FTIR XRD results. Each individual reacted with H3PO4 H2O prepare Ca(H2PO4)2·H2O giving anorthic c...

We examined the topographic organization of the connections of the CA3 field of the macaque monkey hippocampus. Discrete anterograde and retrograde tracer injections were made at various positions within CA3 and CA1. The projections from CA3 to CA1 (Schaffer collaterals), which terminate in the strata radiatum, pyramidale, and oriens, are present throughout the entire transverse extent of CA1. ...

abstract   introduction: neurodegeneration change is one of the hallmark symptoms of which alzheimer’s disease (ad) can be modeled by β-amyloid injection into specific regions of brain. (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (egcg) is a potent antioxidant agent that its role against oxidative stress and inflammation has been shown in prior studies. in the present study, we have wanted to determine whet...

Our understanding of mechanisms that regulate the differentiation of specific classes of synapses is limited. Here, we investigate the formation of synapses between hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) neurons and their target CA3 neurons and find that DG neurons preferentially form synapses with CA3 rather than DG or CA1 neurons in culture, suggesting that specific interactions between DG and CA3 ne...

Thermostable thermolysin-like proteases (TLPs), such as the TLP of Bacillus stearothermophilus CU-21 (TLP-ste), bind calcium in one double (Ca1,2) and two single (Ca3, Ca4) calcium binding sites. The single sites are absent in thermolabile TLPs, suggesting that they are determinants of (variation in) TLP stability. Mutations in the Ca3 and Ca4 sites of TLP-ste indeed reduced thermal stability, ...
