Responses were evoked in the hippocampal CA1 field by stimulating the medial septal area (MSA) and ventral hippocampal commissure (VHC) of urethane-anaesthetized rats. Tetanic stimulation of the MSA resulted in a homosynaptic long-term potentiation (LTP) of a slow synaptic response in the hippocampus, and heterosynaptic LTP of the evoked VHC response. Both forms of LTP were blocked by MK801. Tetanization of the VHC resulted in homosynaptic LTP but did not produce heterosynaptic LTP of the evoked MSA response. Atropine pretreatment increased commissural homosynaptic LTP and unveiled a heterosynaptic LTP of MSA-evoked responses. In contrast, atropine pretreatment partially blocked the homosynaptic LTP produced by tetanization of the MSA and prevented the heterosynaptic LTP of VHC-evoked responses.

Neuromorphic and fully analog in-memory computations are promising for handling vast amounts of data with minimal energy consumption. We have synthesized and studied a series of homo-bimetallic silver purine MOFs (1D and 2D) having direct metal-metal bonding. The N7-derivatized purine ligands are designed to form bi-metallic complexes under ambient conditions, extending to a 1D or 2D metal-organic framework.

Cortical Tagged Synaptic Long-Term Depression in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex of Adult Mice.

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is a key cortical region for pain perception and emotion. Different forms of synaptic plasticity, including long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), have been reported in the ACC. Synaptic tagging of LTP plays an important role in hippocampus-related associative memory.

The dominant models of learning and memory, such as Hebbian plasticity, propose that experiences are transformed into memories through input-specific synaptic plasticity at the time of learning. However, synaptic plasticity is neither strictly input-specific nor restricted to the time of its induction. The impact of such forms of non-Hebbian plasticity on memory has been difficult to test, and hence poorly understood.

The role of calcium stores in long-term potentiation and synaptic tagging and capture in mouse hippocampus.

The roles of Ca-induced calcium release in synaptic plasticity and metaplasticity are poorly understood. The present study has addressed the role of intracellular Ca stores in long-term potentiation (LTP) and a form of heterosynaptic metaplasticity known as synaptic tagging and capture (STC) at CA1 synapses in mouse hippocampal slices. The effects of two compounds, ryanodine and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), were examined on LTP induced by three distinct induction protocols: weak (w), compressed (c) and spaced (s) theta-burst stimulation (TBS).

Focal clusters of peri-synaptic matrix contribute to activity-dependent plasticity and memory in mice.

Recent findings show that effective integration of novel information in the brain requires coordinated processes of homo- and heterosynaptic plasticity. In this work, we hypothesize that activity-dependent remodeling of the peri-synaptic extracellular matrix (ECM) contributes to these processes. We show that clusters of the peri-synaptic ECM, recognized by CS56 antibody, emerge in response to sensory stimuli, showing temporal and spatial coincidence with dendritic spine plasticity.
