00:01 This is cellular neuroscience lecture seven. we discussed last time was the

00:08 the Hippocampal circuit. We're basically getting some of the basics excitatory inhibitory circuitry

00:18 we see in some of the most structures such as the hippo cameras.

00:25 the best studied structure. Also the that you're seeing at the campus off

00:32 circuits is what we call canonical That means that if you have the

00:39 forward inhibition or inhibitory circuits surrounding excitatory that are communicating information longer distances,

00:47 projection, excited parameter cells then you'll similar type of local network control,

00:54 control in other parts of the like in the cortex neocortex. So

01:01 have a campus, if you remember we have is we really have three

01:09 of the excitatory cells. And those cells are distinguished only where they

01:17 There's three layers we talked about stratum items stratum and stratum or Ians and

01:23 did they express? Kyle bend in positive or they don't have some taliban

01:30 C. B. Negative And they're by in this diagram from 10 years

01:37 , 21 different subtypes of the inhibitory and these inhibitor in Iran's live in

01:44 layers. They have a specific dendritic that's distinguishable one from another. And

01:51 this diagram the yellow cups are the . So where are these inhibitory synapses

02:00 some of them are formed on the some of them are formed on the

02:05 in some rare cases they are formed the axons of the parameter cells.

02:11 that parameter cells will talk to each . So excitation to excitation locally not

02:17 projection but locally they'll communicate with each also they'll also talk to the inhibitory

02:24 . So excitatory cells exciting inhibitory cells increase inhibition in the network and an

02:33 source can communicate to each other. inhibitory cells communicating to inhibitory cells.

02:39 we discussed these rules by which inhibitory typically inhibit. First of all there

02:47 feedback inhibition and that's typically after the cell receives an input excitatory cell is

02:57 . That excitatory cell will produce a of action potentials which will be communicated

03:03 range outside of the C. One of the hippocampus. But at the

03:08 time it's also going to stimulate a inhibitor in neuron. And that neuron

03:14 the feedback fashion is going to inhibit problem. There's feed forward instead of

03:21 , it's feed forward. In which the excitation excitatory inputs coming in.

03:28 will excite these inhibitory cells first before excite the parameter cells and by exciting

03:35 inhibitory cells first they will actually feed disinhibition and inhibit these excitatory cells in

03:43 fashion. And in this third case lateral inhibition is described as something that

03:53 autonomy autonomy segregation of neurons by suppressing similarly activated neighboring neurons. So you

04:02 think about this if you want networks be precise spatially and temporally communicating that

04:12 . Then in this situation excitation of neuron being excited and exciting inhibit ourselves

04:21 there's inhibitory cells can inhibit nearby excitatory . So by this virtue you have

04:31 inhibition on both sides. The signal is going to be really strong.

04:35 output. The year is going to really strong too. And you have

04:40 spatially separated and segregated that neuron from in the surrounding area that are built

04:47 be inhibited. So a lot of , inhibitory neurons will have their synapses

04:57 the so Mazz onto the proximal dendrites of the parameter cells and the selma's

05:07 call this region para somatic region in around the selma base and there's some

05:14 inhibitory cells that will target distal down . So there's a optical dendrites and

05:21 on the parameter cells and the projections for example ol um cell. So

05:28 basket cell on the left, the basket cell, we'll have a positioning

05:34 it's perfectly positioned to do feed forward . And oh a lamb sell Oreos

05:44 , another type of inhibitory cell. situated better to cater to feedback

05:54 Just the way that the communication and connections are between the cells and of

06:00 parameter cells are going to project that . Now the side of inhibitory projections

06:09 where these inhibitory projections are targeting the cell will very much influence the integrative

06:19 and how much influence they have on integrative properties. Integrative properties. Is

06:23 all of the excitatory and inhibitory impacts going to get integrated by the soma

06:29 the soma. That is exciting enough fire an action potential at the accident

06:34 segment. So the closer you are the soma, the more direct impact

06:41 have on the integrated properties and if inputs are located distantly you will have

06:48 have much stronger inputs distantly in order exert the same effect on the basically

06:56 integrative unit of the cell which is selma. Now this looks familiar now

07:09 that you can see this image, see this parameter cells just turn them

07:13 down. Sp stands for stratum dahlia layer S. R. For straddle

07:23 Otto sl for stratum orients. So can see the parameter cells in this

07:30 the basal dendrites are at the top the long optical dendrites are depicted at

07:35 bottom. And we talked about different right? And we said that during

07:41 different rhythms the way they're created is different cells will produce their action potentials

07:49 a different oscillate ori cycle of this rhythm. And so this is an

07:55 of the theta phase and theta rhythm the sharp wave of sharp ripple

08:05 And what it shows you is wherever have read is the most intense neuronal

08:16 . And what you can see is rhythm has a certain spatial temporal pattern

08:25 certain map of activity over these three layers And that activity is divided between

08:36 layers first pyramidal acted later orients and ready autumn active during the trough.

08:48 during the actual very peak of the cycle, the blue is inhibition.

08:56 what this shows you is a spatial pattern of activation across the layers.

09:03 that ongoing oscillation of the theta rhythm theta phase on the right. You

09:10 see that that image, even the image is very different and the rhythm

09:17 very different in this case this is very fast sharp ripples rhythm. And

09:22 can see majority of the peak signal in the parameter layer and most of

09:29 peak signal is synchronized across three layers the same time. So you have

09:39 blue and red represent minimal and maximal respectively. So in this case minimal

09:47 blue and red is maximal inhibition. in this case we're looking at the

09:54 of the inhibition across the legs but could be looking at the strength of

09:59 . Also the figure is based on recorded and drug free rats or mice

10:05 the exception of those the stratum The strata already adam input shows a

10:10 increase during sharp wave ripples because the rate of the stratified cells but not

10:17 of ivy cells increases. So you have to notice for the test of

10:22 stratified cells versus ivy cells. But they're describing is basically because these different

10:29 cells will fire different types of the . It influences the spatial temporal pattern

10:36 the overall rhythm that is being Uh huh Some alarm cells and mice

10:46 their firing way during sharp wave So, alum cell is something we

10:50 in the previous slide here. This the alarm cell. But these two

10:55 I'd like for you to know the cell because this is basically well,

11:00 types of inhibition pretty much described. forward versus feedback basket cell is the

11:07 that is per somatic inhibition and then lamb cell is the one that has

11:12 dendrite inhibition. So computational lee, different. Their effect on the integrative

11:18 of parameter salsa is different than their there in different phases. Data phase

11:24 phase or sharp waves and ripples. going to be different as well.

11:30 one more time, this is the , right? This is ripples

11:36 And there are different types of You don't necessarily need to know what

11:42 of cells they are. But in is parameter cell, this is a

11:47 cell and green. This is all style and purple. So let's just

11:55 on those three because we're talking about three cells and we're talking about so

12:00 these cells behaving during the rhythm. cells fire at the very peak uh

12:09 of the ripple rhythm. And so basket cells. So it seems that

12:15 this rhythm during the very peak rhythm , you have synchronization across parameter cells

12:23 their probability of firing increases tremendously. you have synchronization and very high probability

12:31 firing and basket cells. But what alarm cells? Alarm cells during the

12:40 center portion of this ripple are silent instead they have much higher probability of

12:51 right preceding the largest amplitude phase of sharp ripples. And then following that

13:01 . So those three cells synchronize at parts. Okay Now this is I'm

13:20 skip this this diagram here but it 123456 cortical layers. And how do

13:28 know remember? How do we know these are different cells that we're picking

13:32 information from? And how do we this in Viva recordings we have to

13:38 these sophisticated micro electors a lot of that we'll have multiple recording sites we

13:43 to use triangulation. We have to typically more than one experimental technique to

13:49 that you did record or picked up from. Elam cell versus basket cell

13:56 parameter cell. Now, once you all of that information from those electors

14:00 you can study the probability of firing these different cell subtypes and you can

14:07 deriving what cells are active where during portion of the active ongoing rhythm oscillation

14:16 the network. That's pretty neat because you look at E. G what

14:20 talked about it's all filtered signal. have these waves. So how do

14:24 get to the cellular underpinnings of what's on with that theater rhythm. And

14:30 the only way you can do it have to record from as many cells

14:34 possible. Individual cells recognize them as units based on their actual potential properties

14:41 on the triangulation. And then you also do wholesale recordings of multiple cells

14:48 vitro. And confirm that in Put the lectures in vivo, confirm

14:53 in vivo. You know have a in Australia do the same work.

14:58 he says yes I agree with you know about another cell that's active during

15:03 rhythm. And that's how the scientific happens. And the solutions come about

15:09 signals that you you know you observed . G. Signals being observed for

15:15 of years. And what are the mechanisms of these different rhythms? Is

15:21 emerging in the last 2030 years and emerging with our ability to subside different

15:29 cells record from them, recognize them on their functional properties, member and

15:34 and so on. And then figure what they contribute to different rhythm

15:42 This is uh frequency spectral dynamics of E E. G. Because the

15:48 would be so how do how did come up with these bands Of

15:54 Right. Who said Why is it ? Who would give that cut off

15:59 ? Why not 5-6? What about ? Why is why is gamma 32

16:08 50. Slow gamma fast gamma is to 80. So what you do

16:16 this is called spectral analysis where you frequency on the Y. Access.

16:24 this is low frequency Mhm. And can see that during R.

16:31 M. Which is rapid eye movement . But this is how you could

16:36 these E. G. Recordings. pick up low frequency signal here where

16:43 see really dark. It says And waking arrows indicate volume conducted.

16:51 frequency 7 to 9 hertz, oscillation the underlying IPO cameras, bottom furrier

16:59 of lump epochs. We won't get into these details here but you're basically

17:06 R. E. M. Slow sleep and exploration and you're basically extracting

17:15 power. How much power the more there isn't that within that frequency range

17:23 darker you will see the signal So on the Y axis you have

17:28 on the X axis. You have in seconds, long duration 2000 seconds

17:36 . And you're recording the E. . Activity. R. E.

17:40 . Sleep slow wave and then wake and explore within that time period.

17:48 . E. M. Has this in low frequency component, the 7

17:53 9. But it also has the in the gamma range here. 30

18:01 60 hertz right here. You see over time there's a lot of that

18:06 that there's other frequencies on going anywhere seeing basically any gray here is the

18:13 that indicates the strength that so there frequencies that are ongoing with these are

18:19 frequencies during R. E. Sleep and during slow wave sleep you

18:23 see it changes, you lose this frequency here. It's not not really

18:29 prominent here anymore. And slow wave seems to be covering this broader range

18:36 slow to about 2030 hertz. And active exploration. You engage the low

18:43 the theater rhythm and then you engage fast gamma rhythm. So these kind

18:51 a spectrograms off widened cortical L. . B. It's called local field

18:59 recording. So in local field potential E. G. Recordings, your

19:05 activity from the skull. Local field are extra cellular recordings that are going

19:14 be picking up activity from thousands or of cells that are in the vicinity

19:21 this recording electrode. So those are field potentials. And on the cellular

19:28 there's a network response. So these not whole cell recordings are not single

19:32 recordings. They're picking up activity from number of cells in the region of

19:39 where you place that electorate. So you can confirm some of these frequencies

19:45 some of these rhythms using extra cellular field potential recordings. But so this

19:53 how we've come up with the segmentation these different rhythms and the system the

20:00 system from really slow to really fast there is more power in these particular

20:08 during different behavioral stays. And that's we equate now, different rhythm means

20:16 different behavioral state. Okay, so excitation and inhibition, we wouldn't have

20:28 rhythms and without excitation and inhibition and the cells being plastic and have the

20:44 to have plasticity. We wouldn't be good at learning and forgetting things.

20:55 this weekend I learned that there were unidentified flying objects that were shot down

21:06 no threat to national security. Just . Why should there be a

21:13 But there's a word alien that is mentioned and that is very, very

21:20 . Just think as humans, we to think of the way we think

21:23 maybe our brains are not plastic enough . So we get set in our

21:29 ways of thinking that it's a spying. They're gonna do something

21:35 And I'm just wondering if we had code of plasticity that introduced us to

21:42 code of plasticity. We, as would be able to understand things differently

21:48 maybe understand that maybe we're on the to like self destruction and that's why

21:53 of these flying objects are coming around they're looking at us like ants that

21:59 about to destroy and and pile that's affect the whole forest and they are

22:04 of the forest. And so they're , we have to do something about

22:09 and help them, you know, we had that discussion. So it's

22:15 we have certain rules and ways and know, we're learning things because of

22:21 way we are brought up our Will we know? But then if

22:27 fed, you know, for 20 , there's no aliens, There's no

22:31 . And then on year 20 there's congressional program study UFOs if we're seeing

22:36 several unknown a weekend, you You know, it's it's it's

22:47 So synoptic plasticity, What synaptic plasticity enables adaptive experience brain based brain

22:59 learning and memory. Experience what we're to, what we believe in,

23:04 we uh set, you know, say alien. We don't know what

23:08 is. And then what if somebody you five years ago? You can

23:11 alien, there's aliens all over, know, like well what happened to

23:15 five years ago? It's progress. it's evolution. Things change. That's

23:22 they always fluctuate around that line, they could be even periodic, but

23:26 still moving forward. And it's experience it's adaptive. We have to adapt

23:33 humans to learn. We have to as humans to forget. We also

23:39 to repair the injury in the And plasticity contributes to injury repair and

23:50 a lot of times to either halt disorders. So adapt to the circuits

23:57 that are normal and try to tame neurological disease and disorders or they somehow

24:05 participants in generating abnormal neurological activity And prison optically you release neurotransmitters posson

24:18 . You have deep polarization through You have influx of calcium and a

24:24 of this synoptic communication is happening at level of the dendrites and dendritic

24:31 And if the synopses active and it being active. So this pre synaptic

24:40 fires, fires and action potential releases this post synaptic neuron is getting d

24:47 and it's reactive to the pre synaptic then this synapse may become potentially

24:56 What does it mean potentially ated? you could actually have a greater number

25:02 neurotransmitters that are being released. More neurotransmitter release of higher availability of the

25:11 Or in number two you can have greater number of Pazin optic receptors that

25:18 make available. And that would two in which that synapse can become

25:25 So right off the bat that can pre synaptic mechanisms and there can be

25:32 attic mechanisms. Well mostly focus on synaptic mechanisms of synaptic plasticity. But

25:39 synopses now potentially ated. It strengthened in many cases you can even build

25:47 develop new synopses, especially new dendritic . And if this synopsis strengthened now

25:56 much smaller or less a stimulus may sufficient enough to get the same post

26:02 response. If you increase the number receptors you can release the same amount

26:08 neurotransmitters but your post synaptic response may much stronger. So potentially ation is

26:15 cellular mechanism for learning for strengthening new . Uh and the cellular substrate for

26:27 . Depression on the other hand would the opposite where you weaken the synopsis

26:33 what you're seeing here in one and , you could have the opposite in

26:38 depression situation, not enough neurotransmitters being or the post synaptic site doesn't contain

26:47 of the post synaptic receptors, not much as it would like. And

26:52 the response in that synapses weekend or , it's also a very important uh

27:01 in the brain. Depression could then likened to forget it and forgetting is

27:10 important mechanism of survival for human If you have a really bad personal

27:20 physical experience, it is actually to advantage to get over things which is

27:30 forgetting or changing the plasticity in the so that not as much of the

27:37 spent on something especially negative. depression and forgetting is especially important for

27:46 that have negative associations, negative emotions with. Right? Yes.

27:58 But then you can call it up we'll talk about that in a

28:02 So the person that really started talking synaptic plasticity was ramon alcohol. He

28:09 doing the drawings of golgi stain neurons he showed that there is connection between

28:17 with arrows. And he said that connections are not rigid. He described

28:24 not set in stone. So they're and it was in the 19

28:31 So ra Monica Hall is in the of the 20th century. So another

28:36 40 years when this concept of synaptic starts coming about and starting to take

28:46 cellular shape of explanation of what is . What does it look like

28:55 There is no visualization of the there's no recording of L.

29:01 P. Or potentially a shin or . T. D. Long term

29:06 . So it comes from the work psychology donald Hebb when an accent of

29:14 A repeatedly or persistently takes part in Selby. Some growth process or metabolic

29:23 takes place in one or both such as a sufficiency as one of

29:30 firing B. Is increased. So came up with his theory basically and

29:41 it talks about how there is substantial for his work laid later for

29:49 T. P. And L. . D. Potentially ation and depression

29:53 did not explicitly propose a rule for reverse spike ordering. But experiments indicated

29:58 many synapses repeated activation of pre synaptic A immediately after post synaptic cell

30:05 Leads the timing dependent long term depression these are traffic rules are known as

30:11 timing dependent plasticity. So we'll talk different types of plasticity but he did

30:18 essentially that it's about communication between And B. It's about repeated

30:25 Once that repeated firing. Something happens these cells to signal to strengthen and

30:32 lot of explanation is also that the is important for pre synaptic and post

30:39 cells to strengthen. To bind their together. The timing is important.

30:44 the spike timing dependent plasticity becomes an subject matter in the 80s and

30:51 mostly Mostly in the 90s. So and plasticity and this is a memory

31:06 as it would be represented by. cell assembly and activity of that cell

31:16 is like an engram. So cell simultaneously active neuron responding to the same

31:26 . So let's say this is cell . Each one of these dots is

31:32 cell and those cells are reciprocally connected each other and you will have a

31:39 of reciprocal excitatory connections in the abdominal and the cortex and the hippocampus.

31:46 you have a cell assembly here and is an external stimulus that specifically activates

31:54 small network of cells and activation of cell assembly by the stimulus here.

32:04 the stimulus happens there is reverberating continuous activation after the stimulus is

32:14 Then he proposed So once the stimulus happening and it registered within the Ingraham

32:21 a little bit of what we called activity in the assembly of the

32:27 This reverberating activity will later named short plasticity or S. T.

32:36 Now this is what you said about and modification strengthens the reciprocal connections between

32:44 that are active at the same So according to this this heavy and

32:50 would be a growth process that that the communication. The strengthened connections of

32:59 self assembly contained the end ground with stimulus. So let's say this is

33:04 donut. There's a stimulus for a and there's assembly of yourself that sees

33:09 donut all the time. But at I didn't know what donut was.

33:14 you see the donut and it's also donut donut donut. Then there's information

33:21 donut, there's a donut out there the world someplace. So next time

33:28 shows you pieces of donut okay your and Graham says don't doesn't even need

33:37 see the whole full donor. It's same stimulus, not external stimulus but

33:44 incomplete and it's segmented but your association the cell and Graham after learning partial

33:51 assembly leads to activation of the entire of the symbol circle or donut if

33:58 may. So there has to be activity because he's talking about when an

34:07 repeatedly or persistently. So that activity to be strong, has to be

34:13 . Has to be persistent activity into network. And now you have this

34:20 grim recall with just a partial A good example if you think about

34:27 stimulus, there are these trivia games that song, A lot of really

34:35 people. It takes 3, 4 . Sometimes you know maybe more than

34:43 knows. Maybe you know 10 knows it's not a full song that the

34:48 heard but what happens in the person's . They sing the song inside the

34:54 . The lyrics come out and they recite it. So this is the

34:58 is the Ingraham and this is how came about with explaining if he doesn't

35:04 what that process is in the late . So you think that some metabolism

35:09 persistent activity going on there. So engram was wide distribution among the cell

35:19 . So there isn't one typically one where stimulant and association for n grams

35:28 . Maybe you have several areas that recognize donut or will back up the

35:33 gram of the donut or there are that are similar to donut, bagel

35:41 donut and they will not be found the same place. It's not the

35:47 assembly. Uh and this wide So you get wiped out the donut

35:54 of your memory. You still can by by recognizing a circular piece of

36:00 as something that you can eat. not be sweet, but then it's

36:04 bagel. So it could involve the neurons involved in sensation perception. That

36:10 that maybe some of these assemblies processing and bagel are gonna share some of

36:18 components, cellular components to create. or so widely distributed. But there

36:28 be overlapping activation of neurons. So neuron could be a part of the

36:32 and bagel and graham and maybe bayonet . Who knows? So these are

36:44 of the techniques that we typically used record cell activity. And this is

36:51 the patch we put an electrode, talked about this, we can patch

36:56 the south. And what's really cool that In the 90s the microscopy and

37:07 recordings got pretty sophisticated where people started dendrites. So instead of just recording

37:17 Selma's, people started recording from And then there were crazy that started

37:24 from accidents Because the down drive is 1-2 micrometers in diameter. An axon

37:32 typically one micrometer or less in diameter it's insulated, it's much more

37:39 So why did we want to do recordings? Because we kind of wanted

37:44 know what happens when the soma fires action potential? What happens in

37:48 Down your idea if we were recording dendrite? So these are called dual

37:55 recordings. It's the same cell with electrodes showing you in inflorescence too.

38:03 huh. And so what we saw when we evoke an action potential here

38:15 the soma. So this is from article that is in your reading materials

38:22 blue, it's our somatic stimulation and . But what we do is in

38:30 soma, we produce the action So what happens in the dendrite,

38:36 know that once we produce the action , the point of the action potential

38:45 gets generated here is to propagate down axon and then finally produce itself.

38:59 the axon terminal where it's going to involved with neurotransmitter release. So this

39:06 forward propagating spike gets produced here. gets reproduced in each note of randhir

39:16 it gets reproduced here. And so function of the spike travel down the

39:22 and cause neurotransmitter. And until we the ability to record from Denver as

39:30 didn't know what was going on Denver adds, there was very much

39:34 about, you know, stimulate the neurotransmitter release in the acts on record

39:41 synaptic response at the level of the . And then these techniques come into

39:47 . And the question was like, is the dendrite season in the actual

39:51 was produced here. And I have electrode in the dendrite. What does

40:00 done dried? See if this is an action potential here. What does

40:04 done dried sea? And so there in the den dried portion of the

40:11 that travels from here and at the of the dem ride, you'll report

40:17 smaller deep polarization and it is back . This is forward propagating and this

40:26 back propagated into the damn rise. signal coming from here is released neurotransmitter

40:38 . It's back propagating action. So is pretty neat. We can record

40:58 and uh back propagating spikes. So why does this become important? Because

41:05 becomes important for for spike timing dependent is the main form of cellular

41:12 Uh probably most advanced that we can to date unless this flying objects are

41:19 help us. Um So what's happening . We talked about how there's a

41:31 of inhibition that is paris somatic. there's a lot of inhibitory somatic neuro

41:37 that happens around so much as a of excitation is actually excited to.

41:42 synopsis are distilled a lot of So axon initial segment is the portion

41:50 the axon that's responsible for generating the in the back propagating spike. It

41:57 the forward propagating spike by opening A. V voltage gated sodium channel

42:06 which is low threshold channel. And means it requires low levels of

42:13 And this n. is actually going initiate the forward propagating action potential which

42:19 cause the neurotransmitter release. And these . a. d. 1.2 stand

42:26 voltage gated sodium channel 1.2 which is high threshold. So it requires more

42:35 polarization and it will only get activated the action potential gets produced by

42:42 a. d. 1.6. And these n. channels and the influx

42:49 sodium through them will generate the back action potential. And you can see

42:57 that back propagating action potential is going be much smaller than the forward propagating

43:03 potential. It's actually going to died over distance too because down rights and

43:10 most are not insulated like axon So because the Navy will we do

43:20 were bypassed by the initial synoptic deep there available for activation. So after

43:26 channels have been activated, these channels available for activation and that's what produces

43:32 back propagating action. So excellent initial will contain high densities of voltage gated

43:40 channels and potassium channels. The influx sodium will cause the deep polarization during

43:45 action potential. And the forward spike produced by low threshold both educated sodium

43:52 and the back propagating spike is produced high threshold. Both educated sodium

43:57 Both are located within about the same of the excellent initial segment of the

44:16 . Okay, so you can have electrodes in the dendrite if you want

44:23 and see how the signal deteriorates from selma's all the way into the distal

44:30 . When you produce an action Leave this article is in your

44:48 Gonna make sure it's in your But it talks about spike timing dependent

44:55 and why am I talking about spike dependent plasticity. It's It is a

45:00 cellular model for behavioral learning and memory rich computational properties. So let's try

45:10 understand it before we understand what all this is. And we need these

45:15 in order to understand the spike timing neurons. Spike timing and dendrites.

45:20 the amplitude of that deep polarization and rights, not just axonal terminal.

45:27 let's go back to the original studies mechanisms our hostess city and after half

45:45 these population of and Graham reverberating activity 1940s 1950s then people started targeting shop

46:02 collaterals. This was the main top that goes from C. A.

46:07 in the hippocampus to see one area you have a lot of the parameter

46:16 . Uh huh. C. This is super collateral projections. And

46:27 way that that experiments were done where was a stimulating electrode on these shopper

46:42 and there was a local field potential which is picking up activity. If

46:51 put it in the parameter cell layer to 90% of the cells from Parameter

46:59 . So you produce little stimulation You shocked these fibers electrically with a

47:09 electrode. And what you do is cause the release of the neurotransmitter

47:17 And with this local field potential you up a small signal so you stimulate

47:27 and then you record this is your and this is your reporting. So

47:35 called local field potential recordings in the by stimulating the shop of collaterals recording

47:42 single cell recording network activity. Okay now we can look at it this

48:11 this is amplitude. Hey miller balls say of the local field potential.

48:27 ? And this is baseline. So time you stimulate you record your

48:37 Okay and every 15 seconds you stimulate record a response and there's a little

48:44 of variability in this response. But all lingers around this baseline. You

48:52 stimulate every 15 seconds And you do because it takes about 12 seconds for

49:02 to fully re establish themselves with neurotransmitter you get this stable local field attention

49:12 then people lost the squash. And if we deliver different frequencies stimuli to

49:19 network of cells? Is it going change the attitude of the local field

49:27 ? This access we have time. so people come up with a number

49:35 stimuli in this this is like can likened to condition it. So now

49:51 gonna produce some different stimuli. Instead just sampling the baseline every 15 seconds

49:56 recording field potential, you're gonna do different for a minute or two or

50:01 minutes. And that different at first very high frequency stimuli. Okay that

50:11 repeated and there were one second so long high frequency stimulated were

50:19 Following that You go back to sampling 15 seconds again And this is 100

50:31 stimuli that gets repeated through this electrodes of the single stimulus. And sampling

50:38 single stimulus and sample you jolt this frequency and you repeat it. We

50:46 trains of high frequency activity. And you go back to the same.

50:52 well let's see what happens because now imitated some sort of encoding of an

50:58 and this local cellular network. Let's what happens. And people discovered that

51:04 this is 100% baseline. They discovered the signals would potentially eight and they

51:13 stay potentiality ID. Or increased in for a long time so it can

51:21 potentially ated and stay like this for . So people were wow this is

51:33 cool because we are potential rating the . There's something very special. And

51:41 me people played with different frequencies. played with you know 20 hertz and

51:48 hertz. And it calls different things 100 hertz in this capital start but

51:53 to have been very effective. It a long term change and potential hated

52:00 . You're not talking about a single earlier with the potential hated signal to

52:04 what we would call the engram in hat wow So now this conditioning can

52:19 different and instead of 100 hertz this here you can repeat it but instead

52:28 gonna produce stimuli once every second. 100 Hz. Because this potentially

52:39 The question is if I do this stimulus of one hertz What does it

52:47 ? This conditioning is it do the thing potentially eight. And they've discovered

52:52 this protocol to process the synopsis causes is called long term potentially ation or

53:05 and this is called long term depression L. T. D. So

53:11 can imagine how exciting this was because have found a code for ballistics city

53:23 it seems to be pretty simple. frequency depressed I frequency 100 herds potentially

53:32 . And so this became a rate and there's some truth to it.

53:39 rate and stimulation can resolve in either ation or depression. L.

53:47 P. Or L. T. . However it is not as simple

53:50 one hurts. Does this 100 Does this all the time and all

53:54 circuits. It depends on the circuits specifically addressing this in the shop and

54:00 in the C. Three to One. Because that's where people did

54:04 lot of these studies and that's why lot of electro physiologists for the next

54:08 years went back in the same circuit the hippocampus because there were glimpses of

54:14 for the rate code or the stimulus of the stimulus, the response and

54:19 potentially ation. Okay then we are something here because this conditioning response

54:31 This conditioning stimulus which you produce as experimenter but you're trying to mimic something

54:39 . Have said that during this conditioning there's something going on right? You

54:47 about reverberating activity. So if this long term potentially ation or long term

54:57 that means that whatever stimulus conditioning stimulus produced here caused a long term change

55:06 the synaptic functioning in this network long increase long term decrease and it persisted

55:12 hours and this actually can persist for and weeks. So certain stimuli once

55:20 activate those N grams they can That minimal activation. That's how you

55:26 . Well on the test you still the reverberating buzzing activity. You hit

55:32 it with accused and the questions on test and you recall the in

55:37 you tried to do it four months you can't because you're in a different

55:42 and your activity is no longer Now if you went back and stimulated

55:47 same engram a couple of times boom be back on top again. You

55:52 recall it unless it's been too long it's really complicated or you just studied

55:57 for you know to get a grade get over it. So but so

56:01 you have this long term but what happening during the conditioning stimulus reverberating

56:11 And it turns out that certain cells certain pathways during this 100 hertz stimulation

56:22 keep increasing and increasing and increasing In polarization. So this is 100 heart

56:32 . Okay you just start increasing in deep polarization. So this is called

56:48 . Okay thank you. That can in hippocampus. That can happen in

56:54 cortex and by the way everything that talking about. So it was discovered

56:58 hippocampus and studied in hippocampus. Yes can evoke ltp in visual cortex if

57:04 do 100 hertz in certain back So where and how these rules apply

57:11 what circuits is still under investigation. we're just basically getting a glimpse of

57:16 cellular rules of how they how things . So you have facilitation. But

57:21 what? Like you said in what that happens because in another circuit the

57:27 100 hertz stimulus that you're getting here cause a short term depression. So

57:41 same duration, the same 100 hertz . But at the end you've actually

57:47 the signal and made it much smaller it was at the initial phases

57:53 Now your signal is much smaller. so this is what is happening during

57:58 conditioning stimulus. This is sort of reverberating activity according to have, which

58:06 now call short term plasticity, short plasticity STP versus long term plasticity,

58:17 term facilitation, short term depression. , so this is short term

58:24 This is short term depression. This only during the stimulus and this stimulus

58:31 conditioning stimulus as for Minutes Let's say minutes. This information, facilitation depression

58:40 for minutes typically. What's a good phone number? 7137431618. Okay,

58:47 , dialed it minutes later, no . 71374316.85 minutes later, What was

58:56 again? 7137431 What? So you remember and that's only lasting there per

59:05 . So during that stimulus, that and you're being stimulated, remember this

59:10 now you're gonna dial it but it's relevant for you five or 10 minutes

59:14 . So maybe that stimulus wasn't strong and didn't encoded long term just encoded

59:22 facilitated for you to remember a short or forget it short term too And

59:28 what you would have another number coming your head and you will be suppressing

59:33 information from the (713) 743 1618. so now we understand that there are

59:42 term and short term plasticity. Short plasticity can be likened to short term

59:49 . You meet people know their you forget their names unless you're meeting

59:54 over and over and over then they're they're finding their way to long term

59:58 . They are no longer here and conditioning stimulus then you can be

60:05 Your name is B. Brand That's right. Brandon be in that

60:10 the Brandon and grand. So this what these field potentials would look like

60:18 the stimulation of the of the network this schaffer collaterals cyclists does happen as

60:32 either get locked in that moment of we can be the hyper aggressive with

60:39 shut down completely. I don't know it was the real parallel to but

60:43 was such a thing of like this potentially ation trauma where you simply cannot

60:51 alarm the symptoms. And for for someone around like loud violence,

60:57 are veterans struggle with triggers. That does that that behavior of whether someone

61:04 hyper aggressive to that becomes completely shut and points out, is there a

61:11 to it being this long term But even though it's longer, potentially

61:16 that depend on the network that depends the behavior to determine. But I

61:20 know if that's if you repeat it this is what happens with the traumatic

61:29 . We're talking about veterans ptsd you , you know, people having to

61:33 the bomb shelter and brace for then it will be there long term

61:41 now how that happens when people shutting . It's almost a protective mechanism to

61:49 that is maybe the opposite of depressing memories and and and and you

61:58 it's a it's a it's a it's psychological, it's a mental process

62:03 But yeah, but also Yeah, . And people fall within certain dynamic

62:14 , just like somewhere better learners, learners, others take forever to

62:18 But then once they do they're maybe at the quicker learners. Like it's

62:23 it's different. Um but it's a a good way to think about

62:27 Now, if you may recall last , we watched the video by Ramachandran

62:35 he talked about learned paralysis which is phantom limb phantom limbs and go and

62:44 with physical injury, what's happening. had physical injury. You went through

62:51 massive conditioning stimulus in this case your sensory brains and not a sensory

63:00 what is it gonna do? You that's that phantom limb and phantom pain

63:07 learned paralysis because the arm is no there the pain is no longer

63:12 That's what's phantom but your brain thinks there. So yeah so it is

63:18 learned component both in physical injury or mental injury. Same conditions, same

63:27 still behave same condition within the same . It's different connectivity. Yeah that's

63:40 we're slightly different splice variants, synaptic of each other. Uh So there

63:50 a certain dynamic range by which people know will operate uh physically and mentally

63:57 try to you know deal with us to speak. You know. Uh

64:05 is also like an illustration here for you can see that during this fast

64:10 of stimulation. This is an individual field potential. And during the stimulus

64:16 can see that the yield potential is small so it's getting depressed. So

64:22 is just an illustration of what's happening this. For odd activity stimulation you

64:30 a gradual decrease in local may be by depression or maybe followed by potentially

64:37 because the outcome of the short term does not mean that it's gonna be

64:43 same outcome of the meaning that during stimulus you may depress the network during

64:49 stimulus. But then once you come to normal mode of operation, whoa

64:55 It shows an increase. There are situations where you will see a strong

65:01 and instead of getting LTP right away may get L. T.

65:06 For 10 minutes and then followed by . T. P. So you

65:12 depress the network and then so there's iterations of how this can happen.

65:17 is no linear relationship between what's happening the actual train of stimulus and whether

65:24 going to be. So during facilitation you may end up with a network

65:29 long term depressed. Yeah so short versus long term they're they're different different

65:37 different circuits were just trying to understand . Now. This is from the

65:45 book. Synoptic plasticity, timing is . So when enough synopses are active

65:52 the same time the past synaptic neuron be D polarized efficiently to fire an

65:58 potential nominal. Have proposed that each synapse grows a little stronger when it

66:04 participates in the firing of pasta haptic . The phenomenon of LTP comes close

66:10 satisfying heads ideal. Right ever since came out with that. And ground

66:16 like well how does it work? stimulate this, we get facilitation

66:20 Ation depression, What sells and so . So there's a whole uh thing

66:31 and this whole discussion of concerns, timing and how spike timing is very

66:39 for plasticity. In other words this a rate code, high frequency

66:49 Intensification, depression, low frequency Long term potential patient depression. But

66:56 mentioned to you earlier that what is I should take a picture for folks

67:02 are not here. The pre synaptic fires and the post synaptic neuron

67:35 This is pre synaptic action potential. pre synaptic and post synaptic you get

67:44 or boston optic potential for E. . S. P. It's a

67:47 response that you record post synaptic lee an electrode here. So now if

67:58 stimulus is strong enough, what's going happen is the cell will produce the

68:05 potential. The self produces the action and it's going to cause their transmitter

68:14 down the axon. Yeah if the potential gets generated here this post synaptic

68:25 from the recordings you can record with propagating spike. So what becomes really

68:38 is these two cells are communicating to other. This is pre synaptic cells

68:43 to post synaptic cell in any You say something and you wait for

68:50 response. And the timing is important human verbal communication. Hello. And

68:58 expect that within less than a second will nod their head say hello.

69:03 it takes 23 seconds to start wondering the person heard you? 10 seconds

69:08 they pissed at you or something and it's irrelevant. So five minutes later

69:16 know you said hello, how are doing? You don't get a

69:20 Five minutes later a person says You look good what you forgot what

69:25 asked. So this this communication and is like not relevant anymore. So

69:32 can translate this into the neuronal cellular except that this is happening on the

69:38 of milliseconds. So this cell is and this cell never responds. Never

69:45 an action potential and never produces a propagating spike. This cell says the

69:51 with you. This is meaningless communication . And this response for neurons has

69:56 happen within 10 milliseconds. Or so pre synaptic cell inspiring post synaptic cell

70:04 and has back propagating spike the pre cell and the post synaptic activity now

70:10 their activity. Their binding it together synaptic synaptic character, pre synaptic synaptic

70:18 . So the spike timing the interactions wonderful synaptic cell fire. When the

70:25 synaptic self produced action potential in the propagating spike becomes very very important.

70:31 it becomes a new rule in plasticity learning which we call spike timing dependent

70:40 . Uh And here I jumped in term versus long term post synaptic versus

70:46 synaptic. But this is another mode learning. So what we learned today

71:00 I think that I'm out of time sufficiently. And we have a lot

71:06 cover for this plasticity lecture. So will leave what we learn uh for

71:13 exam up until now and then. new information will cover from the second

71:19 . I guess it took me longer explain this that I thought but what

71:23 some of the important things we learned we learned about plasticity. We learned

71:29 the in ground it. We learned the rate code LT. P.

71:36 L. T. D. Now me just show you one diagram here

71:41 address this. Yeah you asked Same network, same stimulus, Same

71:52 different stimulus. In one case we depression and one in another case we

71:57 potentially ation what's different. And so really good explanation is based on the

72:06 of calcium through an M. A. Receptor. Remember we said

72:09 an M. D. A receptor a coincidence detector, it allows for

72:14 to flux in and high frequency HFS produces high levels of calcium influx

72:22 that high calcium level turned on the kindnesses which was four late proteins in

72:31 of L. D. P. low frequency stimulation. Low levels of

72:37 . You actually facilitate protein phosphate Um phosphor relate synaptic proteins in your

72:46 L. T. D. So basically a rate code explain it based

72:52 the calcium dynamics. It's one possibility which you can explain it. So

72:58 is rape culture that we weren't. also learned that there is short term

73:03 sdp versus long term plasticity that we facilitation, short term facilitation, short

73:10 depression. And we have long term ation long term depression. We also

73:16 that the timing is everything actually for and the truth and the way the

73:24 code. The information falls in between spike timing and the rate codes.

73:32 really a combination of both. So actually do encode, learn information using

73:38 of these. But the rate code to be incorporated within spike timing and

73:44 this communication and the response. thank you very much. Uh I

73:53 talking about this stuff because we don't it really well and uh hopefully you

74:05 understand it better as more information comes in the next couple of decades.

74:13 think about it. 49 have thinks the psychology and Graham, There's not

74:20 voltage clamp in 49. So you these dendritic recordings in the 90s.

74:28 when I went to graduate school, recorded from down drive that was like

74:35 thing to do. And then we playing around with these frequencies in the

74:41 and local field potential is in the and then do all cell recordings and

74:47 timing in the nineties. This is progress every two decades or so.

74:52 reveal sort of a new learning rule which the brain functions. So that's

74:57 cool. That's why there will be rules in another two decades.

75:01 I'll see everyone on zoom on It's
