Q

Hebbian assemblies

A

“cells that fire together wire together”

  • Stimulus activates a cell assembly (reciprocally connected and distributed set of cells)
  • Persistence of activation leads to strengthening of assembly’s connections

Q

LTP is mediated by

A
  • NMDA and AMPA receptor activity at the post synaptic neuron
  • Both are ionotropic glutamate receptors
  • Mostly post-synaptic changes (increase in # of receptors)

Q

A strong EPSP at one site can help potentiate nearby synapses that also release glutamate, leading to the

Study These Flashcards
A

strengthening of that other synapse

(electric depolrization can travel to close by neurons)

21
Q

Long-term depression (LTD)

Study These Flashcards
A

Long-lasting decrease in synaptic activation

22
Q

LTD is important for

Study These Flashcards
A

plasticity, such as in clearing out old memory traces

unlearning an accosation (PTSD) - when learned assocation is no longer adaptive

23
Q

LTD is a reuslt of

Study These Flashcards
A

Mainly result of decreased postsynaptic receptor density and some presynaptic decreases in NT release

  • AMPA recptors being removed
24
Q

Non assocative learning

Study These Flashcards
A

habituation, sensatization

25
Classical conditioning
happen closely in time they get assocated together - expect something to happen with inital sitmulus Shift from reacting to antisapating
26
is where condition and uncondtion stimulus is stored
cerabellum
27
Subsequent activation by part of a stimulus will activate the
entire representation via the reciprocal connections "Memory Trace"
28
Consequences of hebbian assemblies
* A ‘memory trace’ can be widely distributed * The same neurons involved in sensory processing also participate in memory * Partial destruction of the assembly may not cause loss of all memory * Activity-dependent change in synaptic networks can thus support many different kinds of memory
29
NMDA receptor and LTP
Three properties associated with LTP (and learning): Cooperativity: more than one input active at once Associativity: weak inputs boosted when paired with a stronger imput Specificity: occurs at specific synapse
30
NMDA sites
glutamate site but also Mg block, sits in recptor post synaptic neuron depolarized, Mg is pushed out of chanel results in opening of chanel Ca can enter via NMDA recptor into post synaptic cell
31
4 steps of NMDA recptor and LTP
Postsynaptic neuron is depolarized via non-NMDA receptors Depolarization of postsynaptic neuron pushes out Mg2+ from NMDA receptor Opening of NMDA receptor allows entry of Ca2+ into postsynaptic cell This can include insertion of AMPA receptors into the membrane (either ones already readymade or via protein synthesis
32
LTP does not envolve which of the folowing
Signaling of Mg2+ within the post synaptic neuron - it is the Ca2+ that does the post synaptic neuron signaling
33
anterograde amnesia
inability to learn new things
34
Retrograde amnesia
loss of memory for events before trama
35
temporally limited
when retrograde amnesia exteens bacl only a few minutes or hours
36
Temporal gradent or Ribot's Law id
the effect that retrograde amnesia tends to be the greatest for most recent events
37
Hebb's Law
cells that fire together wire together
38
Hebbian Learning
mechanism of learning is the strengthing of sysaptic connections that results when a weak input and a strong input act on a cell at the same time
39
Neurons in the hippocampus must be \_\_\_, meaning that they have the ability to ____ synaptic interactions
plastic change
40
three major excitatory neuronal pathways of the hippocampus that extend from ____ to \_\_\_
from the subiculum to the CA1 cells - the perforant pathway - the mossay fibers - the schaffer collaterals
41
The perforant pathway
neurons from the entorhinal cortex travel by the subiculum along this pathway and synapse with granule cells that have distincive looking unmylenated axons known as mossy fibers
42
The mossy fibers
granule cells that have distincive looking unmylenated axons known as mossy fibers which connect the dentate gyrus to the dendritic spines of the hippocamal CA3 paramidal cells
43
Schaffer collaterals
CA3 paramidal cells connect to the CA1 paramidal cells by axon collaterals known as Schaffer collaterals
44
Stimulating the axons of the perforant pathway results in
long term increase in the magnitude of excitatory post synaptic potentals leading to greater synaptic strength known as LTP
45
When pulses are presented slowly (as low frequency pulses) the ___ effect is seen
opposite or LTD
46
Three properties of LTP in CA1 synapses
- Cooperativity - Associativity - Specificity
47
Blocking LTP prevents
normal spatial memory (blocking NMDA recpetors prevents LTP)
48
NMDA recptors may be needed for ___ but not \_\_
for learning a spatial strategy but not to encode a new map
