Oxytocin enables maternal behaviour by balancing cortical inhibition

BJ Marlin, M Mitre, JA D'amour, MV Chao, RC Froemke - Nature, 2015 - nature.com
Oxytocin is important for social interactions and maternal behaviour. However, little is known
about when, where and how oxytocin modulates neural circuits to improve social cognition. …

Activation of corticostriatal circuitry relieves chronic neuropathic pain

…, TR Manders, SE Eberle, C Su, J D'amour… - Journal of …, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
Neural circuits that determine the perception and modulation of pain remain poorly understood.
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) provides top-down control of sensory and affective processes…

[PDF][PDF] Inhibitory and excitatory spike-timing-dependent plasticity in the auditory cortex

JA D'amour, RC Froemke - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
Damour and Froemke show how inhibitory and excitatory synapses are comodified by
pre- and postsynaptic spike pairing. Inhibitory plasticity depends on the initial excitatory-inhibitory …

[PDF][PDF] Effective modulation of male aggression through lateral septum to medial hypothalamus projection

LC Wong, L Wang, JA D'amour, T Yumita, G Chen… - Current biology, 2016 - cell.com
Aggression is a prevalent behavior in the animal kingdom that is used to settle competition
for limited resources. Given the high risk associated with fighting, the central nervous system …

Calcium-permeable AMPA receptors in the nucleus accumbens regulate depression-like behaviors in the chronic neuropathic pain state

Y Goffer, D Xu, SE Eberle, J D'amour… - Journal of …, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
Depression is a salient emotional feature of chronic pain. Depression alters the pain threshold
and impairs functional recovery. To date, however, there has been limited understanding …

Gamma‐radiation affects cell wall composition of strawberries

J d'Amour, C Gosselin, J Arul, F Castaigne… - Journal of Food …, 1993 - Wiley Online Library
Tissue softening limits the use of gamma irradiation for controlling postharvest microbial
development on some produce. The carbohydrate composition of the cell wall of the strawberry (…

[PDF][PDF] Heterosynaptic plasticity determines the set point for cortical excitatory-inhibitory balance

RE Field, JA D'amour, R Tremblay, C Miehl, B Rudy… - Neuron, 2020 - cell.com
Excitation in neural circuits must be carefully controlled by inhibition to regulate information
processing and network excitability. During development, cortical inhibitory and excitatory …

[PDF][PDF] Synaptic transmission optimization predicts expression loci of long-term plasticity

RP Costa, Z Padamsey, JA D'Amour, NJ Emptage… - Neuron, 2017 - cell.com
Long-term modifications of neuronal connections are critical for reliable memory storage in
the brain. However, their locus of expression—pre- or postsynaptic—is highly variable. Here …

Capillary aging of the contacts between glass spheres and a quartz resonator surface

JN D'amour, JJR Stålgren, KK Kanazawa, CW Frank… - Physical review …, 2006 - APS
The strength of the contacts between small glass spheres and the surface of a quartz crystal
resonator has been probed based on the increase of resonance frequency induced upon …
