The medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) is a conspicuous structure in the mammalian auditory brain stem. It is a major component of the superior olivary complex and is involved in sound localization. Recently, organotypic slice culture preparations of the superior olivary complex were introd

The influence of raising the bath temperature (39 degrees C) on synaptic transmission and neuronal plasticity was studied in the CA1 region of the rat hippocampus using an extracellular recording technique. Increasing the bath temperature from 32 to 39 degrees C resulted in a depression of field exc
Fetal alcohol syndrome is a major cause of mental retardation. We investigated possible long-lasting effects of alcohol on the hippocampus using a model for human third trimester brain development. Treatment of neonatal rats with an ethanol vapor atmosphere of 39.4+/-2.6 mg ethanol/liter of air for
Rats were exposed to restraint coupled with 60, 1-sec, 1-mA, 60-Hz tail shocks. One hippocampus was immediately dissected for in vitro measurement of pairedpulse facilitation and LTP of the excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) recording from the stratum radiatum of field CA1. There was no change
Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a long-lasting increase in synaptic strength induced by high frequency stimulation. LTP may participate in learning and memory formation. In many synaptic systems, LTP is dependent on intact function of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. NMDA receptors may be inhi
