Diverse Short-Term Dynamics of Inhibitory Synapses Converging on Striatal Projection Neurons: Differential Changes in a Rodent Model of Parkinson’s Disease by Janet Barroso-Flores, Marco A. Herrera-Valdez, Violeta Gisselle Lopez-Huerta, Elvira Galarraga, José Bargas

“…Short-term synaptic plasticity (STSP) between fast-spiking (FS) interneurons and SPNs and between SPNs has been described with electrophysiological and optogenetic techniques. It is difficult to obtain pair recordings from some classes of interneurons and due to limitations of actual techniques, no other types of STSP have been described on SPNs. …”

Altered cortical network dynamics during observing and preparing action in patients with corticobasal syndrome by Marius Krösche, Christian J. Hartmann, Markus Butz, Alfons Schnitzler, Jan Hirschmann

“…Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is characterized not only by parkinsonism but also by higher-order cortical dysfunctions, such as apraxia. However, the electrophysiological mechanisms underlying these symptoms remain poorly understood.To explore the pathophysiology of CBS, we recorded magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data from 17 CBS patients and 20 age-matched controls during an observe-to-imitate task. …”

Gene Profiles in the Early Stage of Neuronal Differentiation of Mouse Bone Marrow Stromal Cells Induced by Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor by Lili Yu, Wei Hong, Haijie Yang, Yin Yan Xia, Zhiwei Feng

“…Subjected to basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) treatment, a typical neuronal phenotype was induced in these cells, as supported by neuronal morphology, induction of neuronal markers, and relevant electrophysiological excitability. To identify the genes regulating neuronal differentiation, cDNA microarray analysis was conducted using mRNAs isolated from cells differentiated for different time periods (0, 4, 24, and 72 h) after bFGF treatment. …”

The study of the functionality of cardiomyocytes obtained from induced pluripotent stem cells for the modeling of cardiac arrhythmias based on long QT syndrome by M. M. Slotvitsky, V. A. Tsvelaya, S. R. Frolova, E. V. Dement’eva, K. I. Agladze

“…What should be noted is a high variability of the hereditary syndrome and the fact of the connection between the increase in the heart rate and the risk of cardiac arrest. After an electrophysiological study on individual cardiac cells from patients with the LQT syndrome, it became apparent that the search for a mechanism for the transition of the normal heart rhythm to chaotic and fibrillation cannot be limited to recording ion currents in single cells. …”

Mapping spreading depolarisations after traumatic brain injury: a pilot clinical study protocol by Anant Naik, Samuel W Cramer, Isabela Peña Pino, Danielle Carlson, Michael C Park, David P Darrow

“…The propagation of CSDs relative to structural brain pathology will be mapped using reconstructed CT and electrophysiological cross-correlations. The novel use of multiple subdural strip electrodes in conjunction with brain morphometric segmentation is hypothesised to provide sufficient spatial information to characterise CSD propagation across the cerebral cortex and identify cortical foci giving rise to CSDs.Ethics and dissemination Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute’s ethics committee, HSR 17-4400, 25 October 2017 to present. …”
