Trophic actions of GABA on neuronal development
During brain development, transmitter-gated receptors are operative before synapse formation, suggesting that their action is not restricted to synaptic transmission. GABA, whic...
GABA regulates synaptic integration of newly generated neurons in the adult brain
Adult neurogenesis, the birth and integration of new neurons from adult neural stem cells, is a striking form of structural plasticity and highlights the regenerative capacity o...
Tag-Trigger-Consolidation: A Model of Early and Late Long-Term-Potentiation and Depression
Changes in synaptic efficacies need to be long-lasting in order to serve as a substrate for memory. Experimentally, synaptic plasticity exhibits phases covering the induction of...
GABAergic signalling to adult‐generated neurons
New neurons are continuously generated in discrete regions of the adult brain. In the hippocampus, newly generated cells undergo a step‐wise progression of maturation that is re...
Long‐Term synaptic potentiation in the amygdala
Abstract The manner in which the circuitry of the amygdala computes its suspected mnemonic has been a mystery, partly cellular analysis. Here we report in vitro methods and resu...
