Spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) is a bidirectional form of synaptic plasticity
discovered about 30 years ago and based on the relative timing of pre-and post-synaptic …

Research demonstrates that the neural mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity and
learning and memory involve mobilization of AMPA‐type neurotransmitter receptors at …

Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are G-protein-coupled receptors that exhibit
enormous diversity in their expression patterns, sequence homology, pharmacology …

Dopamine is a key factor in the enablement of cognition and hippocampal information
processing. Its action in the hippocampus is mediated by D1/D5 and D2-like (D2, D3, D4) …

Synaptopodin, an actin-associated protein found in a subset of dendritic spines in
telencephalic neurons, has been described to influence both functional and morphological …

Calcium-permeable kainate and AMPA receptors (CP-KARs and CP-AMPARs), as well as
NMDARs, play a pivotal role in plasticity and in regulating neurotransmitter release. Here we …

Synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus underlies episodic memory formation, with dorsal
hippocampus being instrumental for spatial memory whereas ventral hippocampus is crucial …

The dopaminergic system is susceptible to dysfunction in numerous neurological diseases,
including Parkinson's disease (PD). In addition to motor symptoms, some PD patients may …

From the myriad of studies on neuronal plasticity, investigating its underlying molecular
mechanisms up to its behavioral relevance, a very complex landscape has emerged. Recent …

The neuron model serves as the foundation for building a neural network. The goal of
neuron modeling is to shoot a tradeoff between the biological meaningful and the …
