Gap junction-mediated astrocytic networks in the mouse barrel cortex.
The barrel field of the somatosensory cortex constitutes a well documented example of anatomofunctional compartmentalization and activity-dependent interaction between neurons and astrocytes. In astrocytes, intercellular communication through gap junction channels composed by connexin 43 and 30 underlies a network organization. Immunohistochemical and electrophysiological experiments were under...
متن کاملPostnatal Changes of Conduction Velocity of the Fibers in and out of the Mouse Barrel Cortex
There are some conflicts about constancy of conduction velocity (CV) in a given tract of nervous system. By recording excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSC) in layer IV of the somatosensory cortex we tried to clear changes in CV of thalamocortical tract of mice aged 3 to 50 days old. Field potentials and EPSC were recorded in the layer IV by stimulation of ventrobasal nucleus of thalamus (VB) ...
متن کاملMouse barrel cortex viewed as Dirichlet domains.
Barrels are patterned groups of neurons in rodent somatosensory cortex that correspond one to one with the animal's facial whiskers. Dirichlet domains are a class of convex polygon found frequently in nature, often arising by nucleation from center points. Analytic and graphical methods were devised to verify the hypothesis that Dirichlet domains accurately describe the adult barrel fields of n...
متن کاملBOLD fMRI of the mouse barrel cortex
Introduction: Understanding and identifying the neuronal networks of the cerebral cortex, their temporal properties, their development and plasticity are the focus of many functional imaging studies both in humans and rodents (1). In the mouse, a noninvasive method to study functionally the neural network of the barrel cortex would open the possibility to investigate the neurophysiological mech...
متن کاملEffects of elevated serotonin levels on patterns of GAP-43 expression during barrel development in rat somatosensory cortex.
Elevating cortical serotonin (5-HT) in rats with clorgyline, a monoamine oxidase A (MAO(A)) inhibitor, from postnatal day (P-0) to P-6 delays the organization of thalamocortical afferent fibers into a vibrissae-related pattern in the somatosensory cortex (S-I). Despite continued elevation of cortical 5-HT through P-8, the thalamocortical fibers do form, albeit with some delay, a characteristic ...
