TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the role of this processing in feature selectivity and found that dendritic plateau potentials were produced by an interaction between properly timed input from entorhinal cortex and hippocampal CA3.

Abstract: Feature-selective firing allows networks to produce representations of the external and internal environments. Despite its importance, the mechanisms generating neuronal feature selectivity are incompletely understood. In many cortical microcircuits the integration of two functionally distinct inputs occurs nonlinearly through generation of active dendritic signals that drive burst firing and robust plasticity. To examine the role of this processing in feature selectivity, we recorded CA1 pyramidal neuron membrane potential and local field potential in mice running on a linear treadmill. We found that dendritic plateau potentials were produced by an interaction between properly timed input from entorhinal cortex and hippocampal CA3. These conjunctive signals positively modulated the firing of previously established place fields and rapidly induced new place field formation to produce feature selectivity in CA1 that is a function of both entorhinal cortex and CA3 input. Such selectivity could allow mixed network level representations that support context-dependent spatial maps.

Backpropagation and the brain
Timothy P. Lillicrap,Adam Santoro,Luke Marris,Colin J. Akerman,Geoffrey E. Hinton,Geoffrey E. Hinton +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the key principles underlying backprop may indeed have a role in brain function and induce neural activities whose differences can be used to locally approximate these signals and hence drive effective learning in deep networks in the brain.
Behavioral time scale synaptic plasticity underlies CA1 place fields
Katie C. Bittner,Aaron D. Milstein,Aaron D. Milstein,Christine Grienberger,Sandro Romani,Jeffrey C. Magee +5 more
TL;DR: It is discovered that place fields in hippocampal area CA1 are produced by a synaptic potentiation notably different from Hebbian plasticity, which abruptly modifies inputs that were neither causal nor close in time to postsynaptic activation.
Astrocyte function from information processing to cognition and cognitive impairment
TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed that astrocyte-generated signals participate in recruitment and function of neuronal networks underlying memory performance and that signal abnormalities under pathological conditions contribute to cognitive impairment.
Synaptic Plasticity Forms and Functions.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the effort to determine the neural basis of adaptive behavior could benefit from renewed experimental and theoretical investigation of more powerful directed types of synaptic plasticity.

Why there are complementary learning systems in the hippocampus and neocortex: insights from the successes and failures of connectionist models of learning and memory.
TL;DR: The account presented here suggests that memories are first stored via synaptic changes in the hippocampal system, that these changes support reinstatement of recent memories in the neocortex, that neocortical synapses change a little on each reinstatement, and that remote memory is based on accumulated neocorticals changes.

Competitive Hebbian learning through spike-timing-dependent synaptic plasticity
TL;DR: In modeling studies, it is found that this form of synaptic modification can automatically balance synaptic strengths to make postsynaptic firing irregular but more sensitive to presynaptic spike timing.
Cellular bases of hippocampal EEG in the behaving rat.
TL;DR: Movement-related RSA was correlated with a decrease in firing rate of pyramidal cells and an increase in the firing of both interneurons and granule cells, and Gradual phase-shifts of RSA were observed both in CA1 and the dentate gyrus.
