Anatomic and physiologic data are used to analyze the energy expenditure on different
components of excitatory signaling in the grey matter of rodent brain. Action potentials and …

Information transfer between principal neurons in neocortex occurs through (glutamatergic)
synaptic transmission. In this focussed review, we provide a detailed overview on the …

Electrophysiological recordings show that individual neurons in cortex are strongly activated
when engaged in appropriate tasks, but they tell us little about how many neurons might be …

Synaptically coupled layer 2/3 (L2/3) pyramidal neurones located above the same layer 4
barrel ('barrel‐related') were investigated using dual whole‐cell voltage recordings in acute …

How does the brain work? After a century of research, we still lack a coherent view of how
neurons process signals and control our activities. But as the field of computational …

We investigated the development of L2/3 pyramidal cell (PC) circuitry in juvenile mice from
postnatal day 10 (P10) to P29. Using whole cell recordings in an in vitro thalamocortical …

During sustained action potential (AP) firing at nerve terminals, the rates of endocytosis
compared to exocytosis determine how quickly the available synaptic vesicle pool is …

Although the hippocampus expresses nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and
receives cholinergic innervation, the functional roles of these receptors are not completely …

We have identified an excitatory synapse in cerebellar molecular layer interneurons at which
the level of presynaptic activity determines the receptor type involved in the postsynaptic …

Recent studies have focused attention on mechanisms of spontaneous large-scale wavelike
activity during early development of the neocortex. In this study, we describe and …
