Abstract:

This study used extracellular field potential recordings (fEPSP) to investigate the role of kainate receptors (containing GLUK5) in short- and long-term potentiation (S-/L-TP) in the mossy fibre (MF) pathway. In vitro, the role of GLUK5 in synaptic plasticity is dependent on extracellular calcium concentration. So the physiological importance was investigated in vivo. In a single experiment GLUK5 selective antagonist, LY382884 (10 mg.kg-l, i.v.), attenuated STP. Notwithstanding, there is continued controversy regarding the role of GLUK5 in MF synaptic plasticity. Using GLUK5 selective antagoni

Abstract:

Der Hippocampus ist eine von zwei Gehirnregionen, in der zeitlebens kontinuierlich neue Nervenzellen gebildet werden. Er spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Gedächtniskonsolidierung und wird mit der funktionellen Entstehung neurodegenerativer Erkrankungen in Verbindung gebracht. Strukturveränderungen im erwachsenen Gehirn, die mit einer Depression einhergehen, sind laut Literatur auf einen geringen Serotoninspiegel und reduzierte hippocampale Neurogenese zurückzuführen. Selektive Serotonin-Wiederaufnahmehemmer (SSRI) erhöhen die Serotoninkonzentration im synaptischen Spalt und üben einen positi

Abstract:

Les micro-ARNs (miRNAs) sont de petits ARNs (20-25 nt) qui ont un rôle important dans les mécanismes d'interférence ARN. Les miRNAs sont des inhibiteurs de l'expression génique qui interviennent au niveau post-traductionnel en s'hybridant à des sites spécifiques de leurs ARNm cibles. Ce mécanisme induit la dégradation de l'ARNm ou l'inhibition de sa traduction. Puisque l'hybridation partielle du miRNA est suffisante pour induire une inhibition, chaque miRNA peut avoir des centaines de cibles. Les miRNAs sont impliqués dans de nombreuses fonctions biologiques et en particulier dans processus ne

Abstract:

Aspects of the crystal structure of diamond, and its associated defects, have been considered with reference to the effect such characteristics might have on its mechanical properties. Also, established resolved shear stress models, which account for anisotropy in conventional Knoop indentation hardness of all single crystals, have been reviewed. Particular attention has been given to the role of microplasticity and the nature of crack formation in the deformed zone formed beneath the indenter. It is then shown that a similar approach can be applied to the case where a cone, made from a softer

In this thesis, I explore how an individual’s environment, or the environment of its mother, affects its reproductive life-history characteristics (age at maturity, size at maturity, offspring size, offspring number). I attempt to explain observed responses using adaptive reasoning and/or mathematical modelling. I find that mean egg size decreases with increasing clutch size in <i>Daphnia, </i>and explore possible causes of this using a mathematical model. This pattern could be an adaptive response, if larger offspring have greater fitness advantages in food-limited environments. However, such

Abstract:

Numerous experiments have demonstrated that the activity of neurons can alter the strength of excitatory synapses. This synaptic plasticity is bidirectional and synapses can be strengthened (potentiation) or weakened (depression). Synaptic plasticity offers a mechanism that links the ongoing activity of the brain with persistent physical changes to its structure. For this reason it is widely believed that synaptic plasticity mediates learning and memory. The hypothesis that synapses store memories by modifying their strengths raises an important issue.

In this thesis I look at the behavioural plasticity of A.antipodiana while foraging and interacting with conspecifics. The aim is to see how an animal, with apparently limited intelligence is able to deal with environmental variability. I conclude that A.antipodiana appears to have been able to overcome these limitations very effectively by using four methods, of which the first two effectively reduce the amount of learning necessary. Firstly, A.antipodiana simplifies the situation as much as possible by ignoring some of the variability. For example, in social situations, A.antipodiana appear

Activity-dependent and synapse-specific translation of mRNAs is required for long-term changes in synaptic strength (or efficacy). However, many of the components mediating repression, transport and activation of mRNAs are unknown.

Abstract:

Aufgabe der elektrophysiologischen Studie zur Charakterisierung der neuronalen hypothalamischen Plastizität beim Haushuhn war es, den Einfluss des Alters sowie GABAerger Substanzen auf die Feuerrate und die Temperatursensitivität (thermischer Koeffizient: TC) von Hypothalamusneuronen mittels extrazellulärer Ableitungen in Hirnschnitten zu untersuchen. Im Vergleich zu adulten Vögeln und Säugetieren wurde bei juvenilen Hühnern eine hohe neuronale Kältesensitivität nachgewiesen, die offensichtlich eine spezifische Eigenschaft juveniler Vögel ist. Die Ontogenese der neuronalen hypothalamischen T

Abstract:

L'olfaction est un sens clé dans l'adaptation du comportement. Pour permettre des actions appropriées le système olfactif doit effectuer des discriminations fines entre stimuli. Les performances de discrimination peuvent être améliorées via l'apprentissage perceptif et une structure cérébrale clé : le bulbe olfactif. Cette structure est cible d'une forme de plasticité particulière qui est la neurogenèse adulte. C'est là que des nouveaux neurones, majoritairement des cellules granulaires, régulent l'activité des cellules relais. Il a été montré que ces neurones sont requis pour un apprentissage
