Most-cited papers in Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience

A history of spike-timing-dependent plasticity

Henry Markram · 1 Jan 2011

How learning and memory is achieved in the brain is a central question in neuroscience. Key to today's research into information storage in the brain is the concept of synaptic plasticity, a notion that has been heavily influenced by Hebb's (1949) postulate. Hebb conjectured that repeatedly and persistently co-active cells should increase connective strength among…

Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity: A Comprehensive Overview

Henry Markram, Wulfram Gerstner, P. Jesper Sjöström · 1 Jan 2012

With STDP, a neuron embedded in a neuronal network can determine which neighboring neurons are worth listening to by potentiating those inputs that predict its own spiking activity. However, the neuron in question pays less attention to those neighboring neurons that fail to do this. In other words, the neuron pays less attention to neighbors…

Synaptic mitochondria in synaptic transmission and organization of vesicle pools in health and disease

Melissa Vos · 1 Jan 2010

Cell types rich in mitochondria, including neurons, display a high energy demand and a need for calcium buffering. The importance of mitochondria for proper neuronal function is stressed by the occurrence of neurological defects in patients suffering from a great variety of diseases caused by mutations in mitochondrial genes. Genetic and pharmacological evidence also reveal…

Timing is not everything: neuromodulation opens the STDP gate

Verena Pawlak · 1 Jan 2010

Spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) is a temporally specific extension of Hebbian associative plasticity that has tied together the timing of presynaptic inputs relative to the postsynaptic single spike. However, it is difficult to translate this mechanism to in vivo conditions where there is an abundance of presynaptic activity constantly impinging upon the dendritic tree…

Synaptic vesicle pools: an update

Denker · 1 Jan 2010

During the last few decades synaptic vesicles have been assigned to a variety of functional and morphological classes or "pools". We have argued in the past (Rizzoli and Betz, 2005) that synaptic activity in several preparations is accounted for by the function of three vesicle pools: the readily releasable pool (docked at active zones and…
