Neurons that release dopamine (DA) in the hippocampus switch between tonic and phasic firing modes, but how these modes affect hippocampal function is not known. Rosen et al. now show that, depending ...
The versatility of the nervous system comes from not only the diversity of ways in which neurons communicate in circuits, but also their “plasticity,” or ability to change those connections when new ...
Recent studies suggest that tyrosine kinases are important for synaptic plasticity 1,2,3. The requirement for Src activation in long-term potentiation (LTP) induction has been attributed to its ...
