AMPAR-Dependent Synaptic Plasticity Initiates Cortical Remapping and Adaptive Behaviors during Sensory Experience
2020, Cell ReportsCitation Excerpt :We demonstrated earlier that the chronic cross-linking of AMPAR prevented potentiation of whisker-evoked responses during SWE, supporting the idea that w-Pot contributes to SWE-induced cortical remapping. Because SWE alters various whisker-mediated behavioral tasks (Barnéoud et al., 1991; Celikel and Sakmann, 2007; Clem et al., 2008; Xerri, 2012), we reasoned that, if cortical remapping improves tactile perception, then blocking w-Pot during SWE should affect whisker-mediated behavioral performance. To test this hypothesis, we monitored freely behaving mice performing a binary gap-crossing task under infrared light (Figure 6A; Figure S6A).
Neonatal Social Isolation: Effects on Neural Function
2015, International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences: Second EditionFunctional assessment of sensory functions after photothrombotic stroke in the barrel field of mice
2014, Behavioural Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Here, using a battery of behavioural tests (global and modality specific) we evaluated the sensory functions in the acute post-ischemic phase, to establish which functions might be the most susceptible to the detrimental effects of stroke. Earlier, we and others showed that ischemic injury of the whisker representation impairs performance of gap-crossing task and this effect is still present more than one month after stroke [7,20,21]. We did not observed any differences in the normal exploratory behaviour and activity between healthy and operated animals even as early as one day after surgery.
Remapping of the somatosensory cortex after a photothrombotic stroke: dynamics of the compensatory reorganization
2010, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Two months post-stroke, the rats performed as well as before the stroke. In the same test, recovery after total or partial damage to the barrel cortex was observed in mice (Barnéoud et al., 1991; Troncoso et al., 2004). We suspect that at this time the rats finally developed the new functional whiskers representation in the spared primary somatosensory cortex or learn to solve the problem with subcortical vibrissal centers.
Rats recovering from unilateral barrel-cortex ischemia are capable of completing a whisker-dependent task using only their affected whiskers
2003, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :We demonstrated that complete whisker removal results in a loss of the ability to complete the task, indicating that the task is whisker specific. Previous reports indicate that the removal of whiskers is more detrimental to observed behaviors than damage to the corresponding cortical region [1], suggesting a strong possibility of alternative circuitry involved with vibrissal sensations. A lesion to the basis pedunculi severs the connections from the whisker barrel cortex to the pontine nuclei and interferes with the ability of rats to use the whiskers during gap crossing, suggesting the importance of regions of the brain outside of the PMBSF, such as the cerebellum, in completion of these tasks [20].
