It has been suggested that long-term modifications of synaptic transmission constitute the
foundation of the processes by which information is stored in the central nervous system. A …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising technique to treat a wide range
of neurological conditions including stroke. The pathological processes following stroke may …

Recent studies suggest that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a critical role in
long-term synaptic plasticity in the adult brain. Previous studies on the insular cortex (IC), a …

Memory formation is hypothesized to involve the generation of event-specific neural activity
patterns during learning and the subsequent spontaneous reactivation of these patterns. …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been proposed as a key regulator and mediator
of long-term synaptic modifications related to learning and memory maintenance. Our …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an essential protein synthesis product that has
emerged as one of the most potent molecular mediators of not only central synaptic plasticity, …

Abstract Changes in synaptic efficacy and morphology have been proposed as mechanisms
underlying learning and memory processes. In our previous studies, high frequency …

Behavior provides important insights into neuronal processes. For example, analysis of
reaching movements can give a reliable indication of the degree of impairment in neurological …

Background Hippocampal sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) arising from synchronous bursting in
CA3 pyramidal cells and propagating to CA1 are thought to facilitate memory consolidation. …

It is thought that a close dialogue between the primary motor (M1) and somatosensory (S1)
cortices is necessary for skilled motor learning. The extent of the relative S1 contribution in …
