Synaptic plasticity in vitro and in silico: insights into an intracellular signaling maze.

Synaptic plasticity provides a record of neuronal activity and is a likely basis for memory. The early apparent simplicity of the process of synaptic plasticity has been lost in a flood of experimental data that now implicates some 200 signaling molecules in cellular memory. It is now clear that these signaling networks perform surprisingly sophisticated cellular decisions that weigh factors su...

Background and objective: Insulin and its receptor are located in the central nervous system where it regulates many important processes such as neural proliferation, apoptosis, synaptic transmission, neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity, learning and memory. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of extracellular amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, and intracellular aggregation of...

Managing models of signaling networks

Signaling pathways participate in complex information processing networks. These networks handle housekeeping functions of the cell as well as specialized functions such as synaptic plasticity. I report two developments in managing such networks: a compilation of mass-action kinetic models of signaling pathways, and shared motifs in the chemistry of interactions between signaling pathways. Thes...

P18: Signaling Pathway in Long-Term Potentiation

Synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system (CNS) of mammals has been discussed for many years. Several forms of synaptic plasticity of mammal’s CNS have been identified, such as those that occur in long-term potentiation (LTP). Different types of LTP have been observed in distinctive areas of the CNS of mammals. The hippocampus is one of the most important areas in the CNS that pla...
