1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Cortical maps in sensory cortices are plastic, changing in response to sensory experience. The cellular site of such plasticity is currently debated. Thalamocortical (TC) projections deliver sensory information to sensory cortices. TC synapses are currently dismissed as a locus of cortical map plasticity because TC synaptic plasticity is thought to be limited to neonates, whereas cortical map plasticity can be induced in both neonates and adults. However, in the auditory cortex (ACx) of adults, cortical map plasticity can be induced if animals attend to a sound or receive sounds paired with activation of cholinergic inputs from the nucleus basalis. We now show that, in the ACx, long-term potentiation (LTP), a major form of synaptic plasticity, is expressed at TC synapses in both young and mature mice but becomes gated with age. Using single-cell electrophysiology, two-photon glutamate uncaging, and optogenetics in TC slices containing the auditory thalamus and ACx, we show that TC LTP is expressed postsynaptically and depends on group I metabotropic glutamate receptors. TC LTP in mature ACx can be unmasked by cortical disinhibition combined with activation of cholinergic inputs from the nucleus basalis. Cholinergic inputs passing through the thalamic radiation activate M1 muscarinic receptors on TC projections and sustain glutamate release at TC synapses via negative regulation of presynaptic adenosine signaling through A1 adenosine receptors. These data indicate that TC LTP in the ACx persists throughout life and therefore can potentially contribute to experience-dependent cortical map plasticity in the ACx in both young and adult animals.
