Layer-specific noradrenergic modulation of inhibition in cortical layer II/IIIHumberto Salgado
Laboratory of Cell and Synaptic Physiology, School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, TX 75080, USA
Cereb Cortex 21:212-21. 2011..We speculate that such shift modifies the balance of sensory-specific and emotional information in the integration of neural input to the upper layers of the auditory cortex...
Dopamine prevents muscarinic-induced decrease of glutamate release in the auditory cortexM Atzori
University of Texas at Dallas, School for Behavioral and Brain Sciences, Richardson, 75080, USA
Neuroscience 134:1153-65. 2005..These results suggest that presynaptic modulation of glutamate release can account for a dual route of action of antipsychotic drugs...
The stress-induced cytokine interleukin-6 decreases the inhibition/excitation ratio in the rat temporal cortex via trans-signalingFrancisco García-Oscos
School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, 75080, USA
Biol Psychiatry 71:574-82. 2012..We hypothesized that IL-6 acutely and directly induces cortical hyper-excitability by altering the balance between synaptic excitation and inhibition...
Pre- and postsynaptic effects of norepinephrine on γ-aminobutyric acid-mediated synaptic transmission in layer 2/3 of the rat auditory cortexHumberto Salgado
University of Texas at Dallas, School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, Richardson, Texas 75080, USA
Synapse 66:20-8. 2012....
Dynamic modulation of short-term synaptic plasticity in the auditory cortex: the role of norepinephrineHumberto Salgado
School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, Laboratory of Cell and Synaptic Physiology, University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, TX 75080, USA
Hear Res 271:26-36. 2011..We speculate that these mechanisms may limit the temporal window for top-down synaptic integration as well as the duration and intensity of stimulus-evoked gamma-oscillations triggered by complex auditory stimuli during alertness...
α₂- and β-adrenoceptors involvement in nortriptyline modulation of auditory sustained attention and impulsivitySwagata Roychowdhury
Laboratory of Synaptic and Cellular Physiology, School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, University of Texas at Dallas GR41, 800 West Campbell Road, Richardson, TX 75080, USA
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 222:237-45. 2012..The mechanism of action with which norepinephrine (NE) reuptake inhibitors modulate these cognitive functions has not been fully investigated...
Norepinephrine homogeneously inhibits alpha-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate- (AMPAR-) mediated currents in all layers of the temporal cortex of the ratLu Dinh
The University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, TX 75080, USA
Neurochem Res 34:1896-906. 2009....

Environmental enrichment selectively increases glutamatergic responses in layer II/III of the auditory cortex of the ratJ A Nichols
School for Behavioral and Brain Sciences, The University of Texas at Dallas, 2601 North Floyd Road, GR41, Richardson, TX 75080, USA
Neuroscience 145:832-40. 2007..Our data suggest that auditory EE selectively enhances excitatory glutamatergic synaptic transmission in layer II/III without greatly altering inhibitory GABAergic transmission...
Nicotinic modulation of auditory attentional shift in the ratDewey C Brown
The University of Texas at Dallas, School for Behavioral and Brain Sciences, Richardson, TX 75080, USA
Behav Brain Res 210:273-9. 2010..These results indicate the potential therapeutic use of nicotine as a cognitive enhancer, as well as provide evidence for cholinergic system compensations...
Interlaminar differences of spike activation threshold in the auditory cortex of the ratMarco Atzori
Laboratory of Cellular and Synaptic Physiology, BRNI, Rockville, MD 20850, USA
Hear Res 189:101-6. 2004....
Voltage-dependent block of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors by dopamine D1 receptor ligandsChanghai Cui
Blanchette Rockefeller Neurosciences Institute, A and R Building, 3rd Floor, 9601 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850, USA
Mol Pharmacol 70:1761-70. 2006..Our results suggest that the direct inhibition of NMDA receptors by dopamine D1 receptor ligands is due to the channel pore block rather than receptor-receptor interactions...
Cholesterol-enriched diet affects spatial learning and synaptic function in hippocampal synapsesFranck Dufour
Blanchette Rockefeller Neurosciences Institute, 9601 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850, USA
Brain Res 1103:88-98. 2006..We conclude that a cholesterol-rich diet affects learning speed and performance, and that these behavioral changes occur together with robust, long-lasting, synaptic changes at both the pre- and postsynaptic level...

- Acetylcholine and dopamine modulation in auditory cortexMarco Atzori; Fiscal Year: 2007..Our specific aims are to determine how acetylcholine and dopamine modulate glutamatergic and GABAergic synaptic activity and how their interactions modulate or induce long-term plasticity in the auditory cortex. ..
