The ability of the brain to store and process information relies on changing the strength of
connections between neurons. Synaptic facilitation is a form of short-term plasticity that …

Electrical activity in neurons requires a seamless functional coupling between
plasmalemmal ion channels and ion transporters. Although ion channels have been studied …

The mechanisms by which astrocytes modulate neural homeostasis, synaptic plasticity, and
memory are still poorly explored. Astrocytes form large intercellular networks by gap junction …

Abstract Hippocampal slices prepared from 2–23-day-old neonates were maintained in
culture at the interface between air and a culture medium. They were placed on a sterile …

Anatomy and Physiology. Physiol Rev 83: 803–834, 2003; 10.1152/physrev. 00002.2003 …

It is widely recognized that the neural basis of brain function can be fully understood only by
integrating many disciplines at many levels. Studies of synaptic organization are bringing …

The hypothesis that the physical substrate of memory in the mammalian brain resides in
alterations of synaptic efficacy has been proposed frequently in both neuroscience 1–5 and …

This review covers the spatial and temporal rules governing induction of hippocampal long-
term potentiation (LTP) by theta-burst stimulation. Induction of LTP in field CA1 by high …

Developing networks follow common rules to shift from silent cells to coactive networks that
operate via thousands of synapses. This review deals with some of these rules and in …

ABSTRACT I am lucky to be part of the hippocampus story, if not from the beginning but at
least in its formative decades. Being part of this community is a true privilege. As I try to …
