Orbitofrontal Cortex: Prediction and Evaluation of Behavioral Outcomes
Orbitofrontal Cortex: Prediction and Evaluation of Behavioral Outcomes - The orbitofrontal cortex has long been associated with concepts like impulsivity, self-control, and emotion regulation. Here we...
Kinesin-1-Mediated Transport of AMPARs Contributes to Synaptic Strength
In this video, Hoerndli et al. describe in vivo studies of AMPARs transport in defined neurons. They propose a model in which the delivery, removal and redistribution of AMPARs by the kinesin-1 microt...
