Endocannabinoid-dependent homeostatic regulation of inhibitory synapses by miniature excitatory synaptic activities.

19 Oct 2009 Homeostatic regulation of synaptic strength in response to persistent changes of neuronal activity plays an important role in maintaining the overall level of circuit activity within a normal range. Absence of miniature EPSCs (mEPSCs) for a few ... Read more...

A simple model of cortical dynamics explains variability and state dependence of sensory responses in urethane-anesthetized auditory cortex.

24 Aug 2009 The responses of neocortical cells to sensory stimuli are variable and state dependent. It has been hypothesized that intrinsic cortical dynamics play an important role in trial-to-trial variability; the precise nature of this dependence, however, ... Read more...

Enlargement of neuronal size in rat auditory cortex after prolonged sound exposure.

27 Jul 2009 Prolonged sound exposure produces functional changes in the auditory neurons. It remains unclear whether such changes are detectable with morphometric measures like cell size. Here, after exposing juvenile rats (starting on week-4) to a monotone for ... Read more...
