Theoretical analysis of membrane properties underlying action potential phase-locking in noise-driven cells
(2011-12-09)How does the brain work? This very broad and yet, very crucial and interesting question appealed scientists from various disciplines to itself. The fact that the operation of a system of ... -
Structure and Biochemistry of otoferlin C2-domains
(2011-10-25)Since the necessity of functional otoferlin for normal hearing has been discovered, the role of this protein in inner hair cell exocytosis is subject of intense studies. In this thesis, the ... -
Theoretical Studies of the Dynamics of Action Potential Initiation and its Role in Neuronal Encoding
(2011-08-08)In this thesis analytically solvable neuron models are constructed to study the influence of the initiation speed and location of AP (action potential) generation on the dynamical response ... -
The modulation of synaptic transmission at the Calyx of Held synapse
(2011-07-05)Short-term plasticity is a fundamental property of all synapses but its underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In this study, the functional role of the well-known second messenger, ... -
The mechanisms underlying synaptic transmission at the layer 4 of sensory cortical areas
(2011-06-08)Neurons in layer 4 (L4) of the cortex play an important role in transferring signals from thalamus to other layers of the cortex. Understanding the fundamental properties of synaptic ... -
Inducing Neuroplastic Changes in the Human Cortex using External Transcranial Electrical Stimulation Techniques
(2011-05-13)External transcranial stimulation tools have been widely used to investigate processes of neuroplastic induction and their underlying mechanisms in the intact human cortex. With the development ... -
Transduction in Olfactory Receptor Neurons of Xenopus laevis Larvae: Pharmacological Blockage with FM1-43 and Endocannabinoid Modulation
(2010-09-29)The sense of smell is critical for finding food and mediating emotional and social responses. A dysfunction of this sense is often associated with diseases. In the last two decades much ... -
Role of Neuroligins at the Inhibitory Postsynaptic Compartment of the Retina
(2010-06-15)Neuroligins are postsynaptic cell adhesion proteins central to synapse maturation and function.There are four isoforms of Neuroligins (1 4) expressed in the rodent brain. Neuroligins 1 and ... -
The mechanism mediating fast neurotransmitter release at the calyx of Held synapse
(2009-07-02)Fast and synchronous neurotransmitter release relies on the time course of calcium influx into the terminal, the availability of fusion competent vesicles and the proteins comprising the ... -
Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Pattern Formation in the Cerebral Cortex
(2009-04-30)In this thesis I apply the tools of nonlinear dynamical systems theory to study pattern formation in the cerebral cortex on two different scales: the development of spatially complex visual ...
