1. The corticogeniculate synapse : a neuronal amplifier?
Sammanfattning : Consciousness is a nervous process that handles only a limited amount of information. Therefore the nervous system needs to select the most relevant input for aware processing. LÄS MER
2. Plasticity of the developing glutamate synapse in the hippocampus
Sammanfattning : Synapses are highly plastic, i.e. they have the ability to change their signaling strength both in the short- and long-term (e.g. LÄS MER
3. Synaptic elimination and the complement system in Alzhaimer's disease
Sammanfattning : The mechanisms behind Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are largely unknown. The disease is to a large extent hereditary, and the best pathophysiological correlate to the severity of the symptoms is loss of synapses. LÄS MER
4. Astrocyte-mediated short-term synaptic depression
Sammanfattning : Short-term synaptic plasticity, the activity-dependent regulation of synaptic efficacy that occurs in the timeframe of milliseconds to seconds, is a fundamental property of the synapse, mostly attributed to changes in release probability. These changes are commonly ascribed to intrinsic mechanisms in the presynaptic terminal and to different transmitters acting on the presynaptic terminal. LÄS MER
5. Advanced Fluorescence Microscopy to Study Plasma Membrane Protein Dynamics
Sammanfattning : Membrane protein dynamics is of great importance for living organisms. The precise localization of proteins composing a synapse on the membrane facing a nerve terminus is essential for proper functioning of the nervous system. In muscle fibers, the nicotinic acetylcholine is densely packed under the motor nerve termini. LÄS MER
