We tested a theoretical prediction that patterns of excitatory input activity that consistently
fail to activate target neurons sufficiently to induce synaptic potentiation will instead cause a …

… l, m, Field recordings from infected striatal areas of P21–P25 … (m). P < 0.001, repeated
measures ANOVA for l; *P < 0.05, two-tailed t-test for m; n is 12 and 10 for l, and 10 and 9 for m for …

Previously we showed that delivering 900 pulses to the Schaffer collateral-CA1 pathway at 1–3
Hz causes a lasting depression of synaptic effectiveness that is input specific and …

Activity-dependent synaptic plasticity in the superficial layers of juvenile cat and adult rat
visual neocortex was compared with that in adult rat hippocampal field CA1. Stimulation of …

A vast number of different neuronal activity patterns could each induce a different set of
activity-regulated genes. Mapping this coupling between activity pattern and gene induction …

Hippocampal area CA2 has several features that distinguish it from CA1 and CA3, including
a unique gene expression profile, failure to display long-term potentiation and relative …

Long-term potentiation of excitatory synapses on pyramidal neurons in the stratum radiatum
rarely occurs in hippocampal area CA2. Here, we present evidence that perineuronal nets (…

A critical component of nervous system development is synapse elimination during early
postnatal life, a process known to depend on neuronal activity. Changes in synaptic strength in …

Learning and memory have been closely linked to strengthening of synaptic connections
between neurons (ie, synaptic plasticity) within the dentate gyrus (DG)–CA3–CA1 trisynaptic …

The vasopressin 1b receptor (Avpr1b) is critical for social memory and social aggression in
rodents, yet little is known about its specific roles in these behaviors. Some clues to Avpr1b …
