The possible changes at the level of the neuronal microcircuit ...Fri, 10 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +0100A recurrent network in the lateral amygdala: a mechanism for coincidence detectionhttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuralcircuits/paper/10.3389/neuro.04/003.2008/Status : Accepted<br> Abstract: Synaptic changes at sensory inputs to the dorsal nucleus of the lateral amygdala (LAd) play a key role in the acquisition and storage of associative fear memory. However, neither the temporal nor spatial architecture of the LAd network response to s...Wed, 17 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0100Photorelease of GABA with visible light using an inorganic caging grouphttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuralcircuits/paper/10.3389/neuro.04/002.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: We describe the selective photorelease of γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) with a novel caged-GABA compound that uses a ruthenium complex as photosensor. This compound (“RuBi-GABA”) can be excited with visible wavelengths, providing grea...Wed, 13 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100Reconstructing the population activity of olfactory output neurons that innervate identifiable processing unitshttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuralcircuits/paper/10.3389/neuro.04/001.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: We investigated the functional organization of the moth antennal lobe (AL), the primary olfactory network, using in vivo electrophysiological recordings and anatomical identification. The moth AL contains about 60 processing units called glomeruli th...Thu, 12 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0100Retrograde tracing with recombinant rabies virus reveals correlations between projection targets and dendritic architecture in layer 5 of mouse barrel cortexhttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuralcircuits/paper/10.3389/neuro.04/005.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: A recombinant rabies virus was used as a retrograde tracer to allow complete fi lling of the axonal and dendritic arbors of identifi ed projection neurons in layer 5 of mouse primary somatosensory cortex (S1) in vivo. Previous studies have dis...Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:50:03 +0000Frequency-dependent gating of synaptic transmission and plasticity by dopaminehttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuralcircuits/paper/10.3389/neuro.04/001.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: The neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) plays an important role in learning by enhancing the saliency of behaviorally relevant stimuli. How this stimulus selection is achieved on the cellular level, however, is not known. Here, in recordings from hippocam...Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000Estimating firing rates from calcium signals in locust projection neurons <i>in vivo</i>http://www.frontiersin.org/neuralcircuits/paper/10.3389/neuro.04/002.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Combining intracellular electrophysiology and multi-photon calcium imaging in vivo, we studied the relationship between calcium signals (sampled at 500–750 Hz) and spike output in principal neurons in the locust antennal lobe. Our goal was to d...Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000Evaluating a genetically encoded optical sensor of neural activity using electrophysiology in intact adult fruit flieshttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuralcircuits/paper/10.3389/neuro.04/003.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Genetically encoded optical indicators hold the promise of enabling non-invasive monitoring of activity in identified neurons in behaving organisms. However, the interpretation of images of brain activity produced using such sensors is not straightfo...Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000Output of neurogliaform cells to various neuron types in the human and rat cerebral cortexhttp://www.frontiersin.org/neuralcircuits/paper/10.3389/neuro.04/004.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Neurogliaform cells in the rat elicit combined GABAA and GABAB receptor-mediated postsynaptic responses on cortical pyramidal cells and establish electrical synapses with various interneuron types. However, the involvement of GABAB receptors in posts...Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000
