| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Acute stress forms strong episodic memory, being useful to avoid similar stress in future. Learning of stressful context by the inhibitory avoidance task strengthens not only AMPA receptor-mediated excitatory synapses, but also GABAA receptor-mediated inhibitory synapses, showing wide-diversity of synaptic input after the contextual learning in rats. Learning requires the diversity of synapses, since blocking to forms diversity successfully impaired the learning. CA1 neurons showed rapid synaptic diversity within 5 min after the episode, and we observed the diversity both sides of hippocampus, in right and left hemisphare. Moreover, self-entoropy analysis of the diversity revealed the amount of information at the synapses. The total self-entropy at synapses in 400000 CA1 neurons was estimated 5.6 x 1000000 bit after the learning.
