Spontaneous bioelectric activity (SBA) taking the form of extracellularly recorded spike trains
(SBA) has been quantitatively analyzed in organotypic neonatal rat visual cortex explants at …

We have used the synapses that isolated hippocampal cells in culture form onto themselves
(autapses) to determine if some synapses lack functional AMPA receptors (AMPARs). A …

Glutamatergic neurotransmission in the neostriatum and the globus pallidus is mediated
through NMDA‐type as well as other glutamate receptors and is critical in the expression of …

Neural recognition molecules such as the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) have been
implicated in synaptic plasticity, including long‐term potentiation (LTP), sensitization, and …

We have developed a program for the fast and accurate detection of spontaneous synaptic
events. The algorithm identifies each event of which the slope and amplitude which meet …

Electrophysiological studies have documented the existence of synapses showing only
NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptor function that are therefore presumably “silent” at resting …

We studied the development of glutamatergic neurotransmission in dentate gyrus granule
cells (GCs) in hippocampal slices from 5 to 12-day-old rats. The active postnatal …

The long-lasting enhancement of periodic clusters of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic
currents (SEPSCs) was examined in dissociated chick cerebral neurons that had been …

We have reported that the long-lasting potentiation of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic
currents (SEPSCs) was induced by a Mg2+-free treatment in cultured chick cerebral neurons …

Synapse formation in the mammalian CNS is thought to involve specific target recognition
processes between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons leading to the establishment of …
