Arc protein-protein interactions in long-term potentiation in the rat dentate gyrus in vivo
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)Synaptic plasticity is the ability of neuronal synapses to change in strength over time, and is considered to be a foundation for learning and memory. Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a widely studied form of synaptic ... -
Sleep and protein synthesis-dependent synaptic plasticity: impacts of sleep loss and stress
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01-21)Sleep has been ascribed a critical role in cognitive functioning. Several lines of evidence implicate sleep in the consolidation of synaptic plasticity and long-term memory. Stress disrupts sleep while impairing synaptic ... -
Widespread promoter methylation of synaptic plasticity genes in long-term potentiation in the adult brain in vivo.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03-23)Background: DNA methylation is a key modulator of gene expression in mammalian development and cellular differentiation, including neurons. To date, the role of DNA modifications in long-term potentiation (LTP) has not ...
