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. …”

Age-Related Decrease in the Schaffer Collateral-Evoked EPSP in Awake, Freely, Behaving Rats by C. A. Barnes, G. Rao, G. Orr

“…On the other hand, the size of the presynaptic fiber potential and amplitude of unitary intra-cellularly recorded EPSP responses do not change across age in the CA1 region. These electrophysiological findings are consistent with the hypothesis that old rats have fewer functional synaptic contacts per Schaffer collateral axon than do young rats. …”
