Microstructural lateralization of thalamocortical connections in individuals with a history of reading difficulties by Yueye Zhao, Jianyi Liu, Xue'er Ma, Zi-Gang Huang, Jingjing Zhao

“…Results revealed that individuals with reading difficulties had significantly lower NDI values in the left and right frontal-thalamic and occipital-thalamic fiber tracts compared to good readers. Additionally, greater rightward lateralization of frontal-thalamic white matter fiber tracts was linked to poorer early reading performance in those with reading difficulties. …”

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

“…Consistent with the in vitro findings of reduced Schaffer collateral-evoked CA1 EPSPs in old rats, the population currents evoked to iontophoretically applied AMPA are also smaller relative to the presynaptic fiber potential amplitude. 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. …”
