Long‐lasting intrinsic persistent firing in rat CA1 pyramidal cells: A possible mechanism for active maintenance of memory

B Knauer, A Jochems, MJ ValeroAracama… - …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The hippocampus is critical for memory tasks which require an active maintenance of memory
for a short period of time; however, the underlying neural mechanisms remain unknown. …

Environmental enrichment recruits activin A to recalibrate neural activity in mouse hippocampus

…, CC Schmidt, MJ Valero-Aracama… - Cerebral …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
The TGF-β family member activin A modulates neural underpinnings of cognitive and affective
functions in an activity-dependent fashion. We have previously shown that exploration of a …

[HTML][HTML] Dorsal–Ventral Gradient of Activin Regulates Strength of GABAergic Inhibition along Longitudinal Axis of Mouse Hippocampus in an Activity-Dependent …

MJ Valero-Aracama, F Zheng, C Alzheimer - International Journal of …, 2023 - mdpi.com
The functional and neurophysiological distinction between the dorsal and ventral hippocampus
affects also GABAergic inhibition. In line with this notion, ventral CA1 pyramidal cells …

Environmental enrichment modulates intrinsic cellular excitability of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells in a housing duration and anatomical location-dependent …

MJ Valero-Aracama, MM Sauvage… - Behavioural Brain …, 2015 - Elsevier
Housing animals in enriched environments (EEs) results in improved learning and memory (L&M)
performance. While increased intrinsic cellular excitability in the hippocampal neurons …

[HTML][HTML] Activin A reduces GIRK current to excite dentate gyrus granule cells

F Zheng, MJ Valero-Aracama, N Schaefer… - Frontiers in Cellular …, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Activin A, a member of the TGF-β family, is recognized as a multifunctional protein in the adult
brain with a particular impact on neuronal circuits associated with cognitive and affective …

Persistent Firing in Hippocampal CA1 Pyramidal Cells in Young and Aged Rats

Y Brahimi, B Knauer, AT Price, MJ Valero-Aracama… - eneuro, 2023 - eneuro.org
Persistent neuronal firing is often observed in working memory and temporal association
tasks both in humans and animals, and is believed to retain necessary information in these …

Noradrenergic suppression of persistent firing in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells through cAMP-PKA pathway

MJ Valero-Aracama, A Reboreda, A Arboit, M Sauvage… - Eneuro, 2021 - eneuro.org
Persistent firing is believed to be a cellular correlate of working memory. While the effects of
noradrenaline (NA) on working memory have widely been described, its effect on the …

M Dahlmanns, MJ Valero-Aracama, JK Dahlmanns… - Iscience, 2023 - cell.com
Dorsal and ventral hippocampus serve different functions in cognition and affective behavior,
but the underpinnings of this diversity at the cellular and synaptic level are not well …

Sox11 is an activity-regulated gene with dentate-gyrus-specific expression upon general neural activation

…, I Schäffner, BM Häberle, MJ Valero-Aracama… - Cerebral …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Neuronal activity initiates transcriptional programs that shape long-term changes in plasticity.
Although neuron subtypes differ in their plasticity response, most activity-dependent …

Do TRPC channels support working memory? Comparing modulations of TRPC channels and working memory through G-protein coupled receptors and …

A Reboreda, FM Theissen, MJ Valero-Aracama… - Behavioural brain …, 2018 - Elsevier
Working memory is a crucial ability we use in daily life. However, the cellular mechanisms
supporting working memory still remain largely unclear. A key component of working memory …
