Long-term potentiation (LTP) has for a long time captured the imagination of neuroscientists
as a model with which to probe the cellular mechanisms of learning and memory in the …

Recent experiments in isolated neurons in cell culture have demonstrated that
neurotransmitters and associated electrical activity can directly affect neurite outgrowth. The …

Two neuronal calcium‐binding proteins, calbindin‐D28k (CaBP) and parvalbumin (PV),
were localized in the normal rat hippocampus by using immunocytochemical methods to …

Tanaka, E., S. Yamamoto, Y. Kudo, S. Mihara, and H. Higashi. Mechanisms underlying the
rapid depolarization produced by deprivation of oxygen and glucose in rat hippocampal …

During recent years it has become increasingly clear that classical neurotransmitters such
as monoamines and the amino acids glutamate and GABA affect the development and …

The possibility that excitatory and inhibitory inputs to neurons can affect the generation and
degeneration of neuroarchitecture was examined in hippocampal pyramidal neurons in …

The magnitude of postsynaptic Ca2+ transients is thought to affect activity-dependent
synaptic plasticity associated with learning and memory. Large Ca2+ transients have been …

Recent evidence suggests that hippocampal damage can be both the result of seizure
activity and the cause of further chronic epilepsy. A review of current models of status …

Calcium is unique among metals because its ions have a very large concentration gradient
across the plasma membrane of all cells, from 10− 3 M Ca 2+ outside, to 10− 7 M Ca 2+ …

Though most experimental evidence indicates that the corticothalamic (CT) pathway would
exert a direct excitatory action on thalamic relay neurons, the electrophysiological features of …
