NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are glutamate-gated ion channels and are crucial for neuronal
communication. NMDARs form tetrameric complexes that consist of several homologous …

Experiences, whether they be learning in a classroom, a stressful event, or ingestion of a
psychoactive substance, impact the brain by modifying the activity and organization of …

Synaptic plasticity is a key component of the learning machinery in the brain. It is vital that
such plasticity be tightly regulated so that it occurs to the proper extent at the proper time …

Adolescent brain maturation is characterized by the emergence of executive function
mediated by the prefrontal cortex, eg, goal planning, inhibition of impulsive behavior and set …

The number and subunit composition of synaptic N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs)
are not static, but change in a cell-and synapse-specific manner during development and in …

Thirty years have passed since the publication of Elie Bienenstock, Leon Cooper and Paul
Munro's' Theory for the development of neuron selectivity: orientation specificity and …

The hippocampal formation is one of the most extensively studied regions of the brain, with
well-described anatomy and basic physiology; moreover, aspects of human memory …

L'évolution a mis en place chez le vivant, face à la complexité du monde et l'augmentation
de la complexité des organismes vivants, des «principes simplificateurs». Ils ne sont pas …

With increasing computing demands, serial processing in von Neumann architectures built
with zeroth-order complexity digital circuits is saturating in computational capacity and …

Sensory experience and learning alter sensory representations in cerebral cortex. The
synaptic mechanisms underlying sensory cortical plasticity have long been sought. Recent …
