Auto-inhibition of rat parallel fibre–Purkinje cell synapses by activity-dependent adenosine release
Adenosine is an important signalling molecule involved in a large number of physiological functions. In the brain these processes are as diverse as sleep, memory, locomotion and neuroprotection during episodes of ischaemia and hypoxia. Although the actions of adenosine, through cell surface G-protein-coupled receptors, are well characterized, in many cases the sources of adenosine and mechanism...
متن کاملPresynaptic origin of paired-pulse depression at climbing fibre-Purkinje cell synapses in the rat cerebellum.
1. Climbing fibre-mediated excitatory postsynaptic potentials (CF-EPSPs) or currents (CF-EPSCs) were recorded from Purkinje cells in rat cerebellar slices using the whole-cell recording technique. 2. Climbing fibre responses displayed prominent paired-pulse depression (PPD). In the current-clamp recording mode, PPD resulted in a decreased number of spikelets in the second complex spike of the p...
متن کاملMultivesicular Release at Climbing Fiber-Purkinje Cell Synapses
Synapses driven by action potentials are thought to release transmitter in an all-or-none fashion; either one synaptic vesicle undergoes exocytosis, or there is no release. We have estimated the glutamate concentration transient at climbing fiber synapses on Purkinje cells by measuring the inhibition of excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) produced by a low-affinity competitive antagonist o...
متن کاملActivity-dependent release of adenosine contributes to short-term depression at CA3-CA1 synapses in rat hippocampus.
High-frequency stimulation results in a transient, presynaptically mediated decrease in synaptic efficacy called short-term depression (STD). Stimulation of Schaffer-collateral axons at 10 Hz for 5 s resulted in approximately 75% depression of excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) slope recorded from CA1 cells in rat organotypic slice cultures. An adenosine A(1) receptor antagonist decreased t...
متن کاملIncreased neurotransmitter release during long-term potentiation at mossy fibre-granule cell synapses in rat cerebellum.
During long-term potentiation (LTP) at mossy fibre-granule cell synapses in rat cerebellum synaptic transmission and granule cell intrinsic excitability are enhanced. Although it is clear that changes in granule cell excitability are mediated postsynaptically, there is as yet no direct evidence for the site and mechanism of changes in transmission. To approach this problem, evoked postsynaptic ...
