RESEARCH INTERESTS/AREAS Acitve dendritic integration i role of active processes in sTnaptic plastici ,ty / / / / II 22. DESCRIPTION (Do not exceed space provided) This study proposes to explore the role of voltage activated Ca2*channels in spike-firing mode of subicular neurons and whether spike-firing mode can influence the induction of plasticity. Specifically, I propose a series of pharmacological experiments to discem the relative roles of the various high voltage activated Ca 2* channels in the Ca2+-tafl current that drives bursting in subicular neurons of the hippocampus. The presence of the pharmacologically identified Ca 2¿channels will be confirmed using molecular techniques. Finally, I will explore the effect of differences in spike-firing mode on the induction of LTP.
