An Improved Test for Detecting Multiplicative Homeostatic Synaptic Scaling
Homeostatic scaling of synaptic strengths is essential for maintenance of network "gain", but also poses a risk of losing the distinctions among relative synaptic weights, which are possibly cellular correlates of memory storage. Multiplicative scaling of all synapses has been proposed as a mechanism that would preserve the relative weights among them, because they would all be proportionately ...
متن کاملHomeostatic synaptic scaling: molecular regulators of synaptic
The ability of neurons and circuits to maintain their excitability and activity levels within the appropriate dynamic range by homeostatic mechanisms is fundamental for brain function. Neuronal hyperactivity, for instance, could cause seizures. One such homeostatic process is synaptic scaling, also known as synaptic homeostasis. It involves a negative feedback process by which neurons adjust (...

Various forms of the self-organizing map (SOM) have been proposed as models of cortical development [Choe Y., Miikkulainen R., (2004).

متن کاملModeling of Age-Dependent Epileptogenesis by Differential Homeostatic Synaptic Scaling.
Homeostatic synaptic plasticity (HSP) has been implicated in the development of hyperexcitability and epileptic seizures following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Our in vivo experimental studies in cats revealed that the severity of TBI-mediated epileptogenesis depends on the age of the animal. To characterize mechanisms of these differences, we studied the properties of the TBI-induced epilepto...
متن کاملSUMOylation, Arc and the regulation homeostatic synaptic scaling
Neurons compensate for changes in network activity by altering the sensitivity of transmission across collections of synapses by up- or downregulating the number of synaptic AMPA receptors. We recently reported that, in parallel to increasing AMPA receptor surface expression, suppression of network activity with TTX increases protein SUMOylation by decreasing levels of the deSUMOylating enzyme ...
