Neurochemical correlates of functional plasticity in the mature cortex of the brain of rodents
2017, Behavioural Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Binding [3H] muscimol to GABAA receptors after whisker-shock conditioning, but also the control of sensory stimulation alone (CS-only) did not change [83]. Interestingly, in naive animals GABA-ergic neurons are grouped mainly in the walls of the barrels, while the barrel hollows contain little thereof [84,85]. Due to the size one can distinguish three populations of GABA+ cells: small diameter 12–15 μm 40%, the average 15–18 μm 58% and larger than 18 μm 2%.
GAD67-positive puncta: Contributors to learning-dependent plasticity in the barrel cortex of adult mice
2006, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :The central hollow, where the majority of thalamocortical afferents terminate (Senft and Woolsey, 1991), is less cellular and rich in neuropil (Woolsey and Van der Loos, 1970). Neurons containing GABA are more densely concentrated in the barrel walls than in barrel hollows (Chmielowska et al., 1986, 1988; Lin et al., 1985). Also, a high density of GABA-positive boutons occurs in layer IV (Keller and White, 1986).
Effects of GABA<inf>A</inf> receptor inhibition on response properties of barrel cortical neurons in C-Fiber-depleted rats
2005, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) plays an important role in the functional organization of the whisker-barrel system [14]. Nearly 15% of barrel cells are GABAergic [6,16,24] and the thickest density of GABA receptors is found in layer IV [15,22]. Several studies have shown that, following sensory deprivation, GABAA receptor density and distribution change in multiple brain areas [4,15,21,22].
