  1. Article: Wie das Gehirn lernt. Wenn wir Lernerfahrungen abspeichern, kommt es besonders auf das richtige Timing im Gehirn an. Denn nur, wenn die Signale aus verschiedenen Hirnregionen gleichzeitig am Zielort eintreffen, setzt sich eine Erinnerung fest. Das erfordert ständige Umbaumaßnahmen an den Leitungsbahnen. Von R. Douglas Fields

    Abstract Working memory is of great interest because of its importance in cognitive function, its relation to consciousness, and impairments in disease, but the cellular mechanisms remain elusive and controversial. A recent article by Barbosa and colleagues overturns the conclusions of an influential study by Wolff and colleagues, which concluded that working memory can be maintained in a hidden state by transient plasticity of synaptic connections that form dynamic ensembles of neurons encoding information temporarily. A reanalysis of the data reveals that there is a persistent electrically active signature in the EEG recordings that is sustained for the duration of the working memory. This reanalysis adds to a large body of evidence indicating that working memory is encoded by sustained action potential firing. However, several studies show that unconscious (unattended) working memories can be recalled even in the absence of measurable neural activity, suggesting that electrically silent mechanisms may be involved. Testing that hypothesis is problematic, given that it posits no neuronal firing that could be easily measured.

    Abstract From his sniper's perch on the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay hotel in las vegas, a lone gunman fired 1,000 bullets from high-powered rifles into a crowd of concertgoers in 2017, murdering 58 innocent people and injuring 869 others. After he committed suicide at the crime scene, the mass murderer's brain was shipped to Stanford University to seek a possible biological explanation for this depraved incident. What could the scientists possibly find during such an inspection? Quite a lot, in fact. No genetic test for homicidal behavior is in the offing. But this type of investigation can add insight into how violence is controlled by the brain. Using the same experimental methods that have enabled the tracing of brain circuits responsible for other complex human activities-including walking, speech and reading-neuroscientists now can pinpoint pathways that underlie aggressive behaviors. These new findings help to expose the underlying mechanisms at work in acts of extreme violence, such as the Las Vegas atrocity, but they also help to explain the more commonplace road rage and even a mother's instantaneous response to any threat to her child.

    Abstract Neural activity can increase the length of nodes of Ranvier (NOR) and slow impulse transmission; however, little is known about the biologically and clinically important recovery process. Sensory deprivation promotes neural plasticity in many phenomena, raising the question of whether recovery of NOR morphology is influenced by sensory deprivation. The results show that NOR gap length recovery in mouse optic nerve was not affected significantly by binocular visual deprivation imposed by maintaining mice in 24 hr dark for 30 days compared to mice recovering under normal visual experience. The findings provide insight into the cellular mechanism of NOR plasticity.

    Abstract Synaptic plasticity is the fundamental cellular mechanism of learning and memory, but recent research reveals that myelin-forming glia, oligodendrocytes (OL), are also involved. They contribute in ways that synaptic plasticity cannot, and the findings have not been integrated into the established conceptual framework used in the field of learning and memory. OLs and their progenitors are involved in long-term memory, memory consolidation, working memory, and recall in associative learning. They also contribute to short-term memory and non-associative learning by affecting synaptic transmission, intrinsic excitability of axons, and neural oscillations. Oligodendroglial involvement expands the field beyond synaptic plasticity to system-wide network function, where precise spike time arrival and neural oscillations are critical in information processing, storage, and retrieval.
