An Electrophysiological Analysis of Chronic Ethanol Effects on Synaptic Distribution and Function in Rat Hippocampus (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780530018690)

Abstract:

This is a PhD thesis that investigated how chronic ethanol consumption by rats, followed by 2 months of abstinence, affected the functional connectivity of several pathways in the hippocampus. The techniques entailed field potential electrophysiology in anesthetized animals, which was used to investigate basal synaptic transmission, short-term plasticity and long-term potentiaton. Connectivity patterns were assessed using current source density analyses of depth profile data. The findings have been published as 4 papers in 1981, 1982, 1984.
