COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF PREFRONTAL-HIPPOCAMPAL INTERACTIONS IN VERBAL MNEMONIC DISCRIMINATION
(2023-11-30)Background: Mnemonic Discrimination, the ability to distinguish between highly similar memories is impaired in people with various neuropsychiatric disorders. While hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are attributed to perform ... -
The effects of housing conditions on neurogenesis in the black-capped chickadee
(2015-01-29)Black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) store and retrieve thousands of seeds during the fall and winter, seemingly in anticipation of reduced resource availability coinciding with onset of harsh weather, and ... -
Investigating the role of MLLT11 in the development of cortical hem derivatives and hippocampal neurogenesis
(2021-03-31)The mammalian Cortical Hem plays a key role in orchestrating the formation of Cajal-Retzius cells, the Choroid Plexus, and hippocampus, a structure crucial to cognition and spatial learning. While several key regulators ... -
Natural photoperiodic regulation of hippocampal neural plasticity in wild male and female black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus)
(2022-08-22)Food storing, a hippocampus-dependent spatial behaviour, fluctuates seasonally in black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus), who store more food in the fall months for later retrieval in the resource-scarce winter. ... -
Using an Optical Sensor of Synaptic Vesicle Exocytosis to Investigate the Relationship Between Release Probability and Paired-Pulse Plasticity at Individual Hippocampal Synapses
(2016-04-29)Release probability (Pr) is a determinant of synaptic strength that varies considerably between synapses, and correlates with the size of the readily releasable pool (RRP) of synaptic vesicles. Short-term plasticity is ...
