5 Questions
Which type of cells are linked to enhanced plasticity during critical periods of early life?
Basket cells
What effect does environmental enrichment have on hippocampal PV-network configurations in adult mice?
It increases the number of low-differentiation basket cells
What effect does fear conditioning have on hippocampal PV-network configurations in adult mice?
It increases the number of high-differentiation basket cells
What is the role of parvalbumin (PV) neurons in modulating learning in adults?
They modulate learning by targeting the differentiation state of PV neurons
What is the main focus of the research described in the text?
The mechanisms involved in learning and memory processes
Test your knowledge on the plasticity of parvalbumin-expressing basket-cell networks and their role in regulating adult learning. Explore the mechanisms involved in learning and memory processes influenced by recent experiences. Discover the link between enhanced plasticity during critical periods of early life and differentiation in parvalbumin-expressing basket-cell networks.
