Rats implanted with recording and stimulating electrodes were trained to run in an activity
wheel for a water reward. Unitary discharges and slow activity were recorded by a movable …

Spreading depression (SD) and the related hypoxic SD-like depolarization (HSD) are
characterized by rapid and nearly complete depolarization of a sizable population of brain …

The hippocampus is one of a group of remarkable structures embedded within the brain's
medial temporal lobe. Long known to be important for memory, it has been a prime focus of …

This study investigated the spatial distribution and cellular-synaptic generation of
hippocampal sharp waves (SPW) in the dorsal hippocampus of the awake rat. Depth …

Certain neurons in the mammalian brain have long been known to be joined by gap
junctions, which are the most common type of electrical synapse. More recently, cloning of …

Abstract Ripples are 100–200 Hz short‐duration oscillatory field potentials that have recently
been recorded in rat hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. They reflect fast IPSPs on the …

▪ Abstract Many neurons in the mammalian central nervous system communicate through
electrical synapses, defined here as gap junction–mediated connections. Electrical …

Most neurons in the mammalian CNS encode and transmit information via action potentials.
Knowledge of where these electrical events are initiated and how they propagate within …

In writing a review of the literature on any aspect of the hippocampus it seems obligatory to
state that, despite intensive research, the functional significance of this structure remains …

Nonsynaptic interactions between neurons have been eclipsed by our increasingly detailed
understanding of chemical synapses, but they do play significant roles in the nervous …
