Activation of NMDA receptors (NMDARs) is highly involved in the potentiation and depression of synaptic transmission. NMDARs comprise NR1 and NR2B subunits in the neonatal forebrai...
Lateral inhibition of cells surrounding an excited area is a key property of sensory systems, sharpening the preferential tuning of individual cells in the presence of closely rela...
Information theoretical approaches to sensory processing in electric fish have focused on the encoding of amplitude modulations in a single sensory pathway in the South American gy...
Adaptation of the spike-frequency response to constant stimulation, as observed on various timescales in many neurons, reflects high-pass filter properties of a neuron's tran...
