چکیده

An astonishing level of detail is known about the circuits that mediate the acquisition of Pavlovian conditional fear. Considerable attention has been focused on the amygdala, and to be sure, amygdala activity is normally essential for fear conditioning. However, the complete circuit involves frontal cortex, hippocampus, periaqueductal gray (PAG) Developmental Psychobiology. DOI 10.1002/dev 650 Hunt et al.

Spatial Learning and Memory in Barnes Maze Test and Synaptic Potentiation in ‎Schaffer Collateral-CA1 Synapses of Dorsal Hippocampus in Freely Moving Rats

Introduction: Synaptic plasticity has been suggested as the primary physiological mechanism underlying memory formation. Many experimental approaches have been used to investigate whether the mechanisms underlying long-term potentiation (LTP) are activated during learning. Nevertheless, little evidence states that hippocampal-dependent learning triggers synaptic plasticity. In this study, we in...

A VLSI reconfigurable network of integrate-and-fire neurons with spike-based learning synapses

We present a VLSI device comprising an array of leaky integrate–and– fire (I&F) neurons and adaptive synapses with spike–timing dependent plasticity (STDP). The neurons transmit spikes off chip and the synapses receive spikes from external devices using a communication protocol based on the “Address– Event Representation” (AER). We studied the response properties of the neurons in the array to ...

Neuromimetic Circuits with Synaptic Devices based on Strongly Correlated Electron Systems

Neuromimetic devices—artificial electronics that mimic the brain’s neurons—could be used to study how the brain works or to design circuits that borrow from the brain’s computing ability. Such devices emulate neurons and the synapses between them with voltage­driven circuits that exchange signals in a connected network. But conventional circuits cannot easily reproduce the synapses’ ability to ...

P20: The Role of Protein Kinases in Memory

When an experience is encrypted into a long-lasting memory, it is believed that specific sets of neurons in the brain of the animal undergo changes including the strengthening of preexisting synapses and the growth and maintenance of new synaptic connections. These activity-dependent synaptic changes appear to require the coordination of a variety of cellular processes in spatially separated ce...

Function Learning with Carbon Nanotube-based Synapses

The principle of using nanoscale memory devices as artificial synapses in neuromorphic circuits is recognized as a promising way to build new circuit architectures tolerant to defects and variability. Yet, actual experimental demonstrations of neural network type of circuits based on non-conventional/nonCMOS memory devices and displaying function learning capabilities remain very scarce. We rec...
