... to be a neural correlate of CTA. Here, we examined whether the observed changes in synaptic plasticity were the result of presynaptic and/or postsynaptic alterations using the paired pulse procedure. The paired pulse ratio was unaltered following insulin application, suggesting that insulin's effects on synaptic...

... (`synaptic plasticity') can modify and regulate learning and memory. Characterization of the synaptic phenotypes of inbred mouse strains is needed to identify the most appropriate strains to use for generating mutant mouse models of memory function. More importantly, comparative electrophysiological analyses...

... that pairing of parallel fiber input with Na + spikes in postsynaptic cells results in synaptic depression at the parallel fiber synapses. The synaptic plasticity observed at the cellular level and the associative process of generating negative images of predicted sensory input at the systems level share...

... of central electrosensory processing utilize an adaptive filtering technique which allows the system preferentially to attenuate reafferent as well as other predictable patterns of sensory input without degrading responses to more novel stimuli. Synaptic plasticity within the system underlies the adaptive...

The useful signals are recognized and selected through well-established synaptic plasticity mechanisms that are gauged by their effect on the output of the principal neurons. The parallel pattern...
