Emergence and Homeostasis of Functional Maps in Hippocampal Neurons
(2017-11-23)Systematic investigations through several experimental techniques have revealed that hippocampal pyramidal neurons express voltage gated ion channels (VGICs) with well-defined gradients along their dendritic arbor. These ... -
Epileptiform Activity Induced Alterations In Ca2+ Dynamics And Network Physiology Of Hippocampal Neurons - In Vitro Studies
(2010-07-15)Epilepsy is characterized by the hyperexcitability of individual neurons and hyper synchronization of groups of neurons (networks). The acquired changes that take place at molecular, cellular and network levels are important ... -
Intracellular Calcium Dynamics In Dendrites Of Hippocampal Neurons Rendered Epileptic And In Processes Of Astrocytes Following Glutamate Pretreatment
(2009-04-03)The fundamental attribute of neurons is their cellular electrical excitability, which is based on the expression of a plethora of ligand- and voltage-gated membrane channels that give rise to prominent membrane currents ... -
Lithium Exposure Induced Changes At Glutamatergic Synapses In Hippocampal Neurons- Insights From In Vitro Electrophysiology And Imaging Studies
(2016-11-15)Lithium is a drug used to treat mood disorders and also has many side effects, including central nervous system (CNS) complications (such as cognitive dulling), associated with its use. The mechanism of its action still ... -
Theta-band Spectral Selectivity and Gamma-range Coincidence Detection in Spike Initiation Dynamics of Hippocampal Pyramidal Neurons
In the pursuit to understand information processing in the brain, a general question that is often posed is: What is the neuron encoding? This is addressed by assessing feature selectivity in sensory neurons, which informs ...
