Long-Term Activity-Dependent Plasticity of Action Potential Propagation Delay and Amplitude in Cortical Networks
BACKGROUND The precise temporal control of neuronal action potentials is essential for regulating many brain functions. From the viewpoint of a neuron, the specific timings of afferent input from the action potentials of its synaptic partners determines whether or not and when that neuron will fire its own action potential. Tuning such input would provide a powerful mechanism to adjust neuron f...
متن کاملOdor-evoked oxygen consumption by action potential and synaptic transmission in the olfactory bulb.
The relationship between metabolism of neuronal activity, microvascular organization, and blood flow dynamics is critical for interpreting functional brain imaging. Here we used the rat dorsal olfactory bulb as a model to determine in vivo the correlation between action potential propagation, synaptic transmission, oxygen consumption, and capillary density during odor stimulation. We find that ...
متن کاملSynaptic transmission of graded membrane potential changes and spikes between identified visual interneurons.
Several physiological mechanisms allow sensory information to be propagated in neuronal networks. According to the conventional view of signal processing, graded changes of membrane potential at the dendrite are converted into a sequence of spikes. However, in many sensory receptors and several types of mostly invertebrate neurons, graded potential changes have a direct impact on the cells' out...
متن کاملAction potential reflection and failure at axon branch points cause stepwise changes in EPSPs in a neuron essential for learning.
In leech mechanosensory neurons, action potentials reverse direction, or reflect, at central branch points. This process enhances synaptic transmission from individual axon branches by rapidly activating synapses twice, thereby producing facilitation. At the same branch points action potentials may fail to propagate, which can reduce transmission. It is now shown that presynaptic action potenti...
متن کاملExtending Berger-Levy Information-Energy Efficiency Neuron Theory to a Model with Unequal Synaptic Weights
How neurons in the cerebral cortex process and transmit information is a long-standing question in systems neuroscience. To analyze neuronal activity from an information-energy efficiency standpoint, Berger and Levy (2010) calculated the maximum Shannon mutual information rate per energy expenditure, based on an idealized integrate-and-_re (IIF) model where the excitatory synapses have the same...
