Pliable synaptic fidelity and excitatory inter-synaptic crosstalk in the intact brain

The paper shows that sensory-stimulation LTP increases synaptic fidelity while reducing excitation at thalamocortical connections, generating spatially intersecting glutamate discharges.

Homeostatic regulation of axonal Kv1.1 channels accounts for both synaptic and intrinsic modifications in CA3 circuit

The paper shows that up-regulation of synaptic strength and intrinsic excitability in CA3 neurons is linked to regulation of axonal Kv1.1 channels following synaptic activity deprivation.

A quick and easy way to estimate entropy and mutual information for neuroscience

The paper proposes using PNG file size as a simple, unbiased, and computationally efficient method to estimate entropy and mutual information in neuroscience data.

LTP induction boosts glutamate spillover by driving withdrawal of astroglia

This study shows that LTP induces astroglial withdrawal, increasing glutamate spillover and inter-synaptic communication.

Axonal Na+ channels detect and transmit levels of input synchrony in local brain circuits

The paper shows axonal sodium channels transmit input synchrony levels to postsynaptic cells by modulating action potential amplitude, enhancing synaptic transmission for synchronous inputs.
