  2. 1. Functional Relevance of Homeostatic Intrinsic Plasticity in Neurons and Networks

    Author : Yann Sweeney; Jeanette Hällgren Kotaleski; Matthias Hennig; Thomas Nowotny; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : Maintaining the intrinsic excitability of neurons is crucial for stable brain activity. This can be achieved by the homeostatic regulation of membrane ion channel conductances, although it is not well understood how these processes influence broader aspects of neuron and network function.

  4. 2. Striatal adaptations in experimental parkinsonism and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia

    Author : Tim Fieblinger; Basala gangliernas patofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Striatum; Parkinson’s disease; L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia; ERK1 2; mGluR5; homeostatic plasticity; SPN; 2‑Photon microscopy;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by the loss of dopamine (DA) producing neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), resulting in typical motor symptoms. DA replacement with L-DOPA is the standard therapy for PD. READ MORE

  5. 3. Neuronal assembly formation and non-random recurrent connectivity induced by homeostatic structural plasticity

    Author : Julia Gallinaro; Pawel Herman; Alexander Kozlov; Stefan Rotter; Wulfram Gerstner; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Plasticity is usually classified into two distinct categories: Hebbian or homeostatic. Hebbian is driven by correlation in the activity of neurons, while homeostatic relies on a negative feedback signal to control neuronal activity. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modulation of the Progenitor Cell and Homeostatic Capacities of Müller Glia Cells in Retina : Focus on α2-Adrenergic and Endothelin Receptor Signaling Systems

    Author : Mohammad Harun-Or-Rashid; Finn Hallböök; Per Ekström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alpha2-adrenergic receptor; Brimonidine; Brn3a; Dedifferentiation; Endothelin; EGFR; ERK1 2; Neuroprotection; NMDA; MIO-M1 human Müller cell; Müller cells; Retina; Retinal ganglion cells; Src-kinase; Transactivation.; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Müller cells are major glial cells in the retina and have a broad range of functions that are vital for the retinal neurons. During retinal injury gliotic response either leads to Müller cell dedifferentiation and formation of a retinal progenitor or to maintenance of mature Müller cell functions. READ MORE

  7. 5. A tripartite of immune-, epithelial-, and nervous-systems in the homeostatic regulation of the gut

    Author : Song Hui Chng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Various cell types in the intestinal mucosa are constantly exposed to complex signals emanating from the lumen, including the microbiota and its metabolites. How these bilateral interactions in turn influences intestinal homeostasis is an important question in order to understand microbiota-host interactions. READ MORE
