Bidirectional synaptic plasticity in the cerebellum-like mammalian dorsal cochlear nucleus.
The dorsal cochlear nucleus integrates acoustic with multimodal sensory inputs from widespread areas of the brain. Multimodal inputs are brought to spiny dendrites of fusiform and cartwheel cells in the molecular layer by parallel fibers through synapses that are subject to long-term potentiation and long-term depression. Acoustic cues are brought to smooth dendrites of fusiform cells in the de...
متن کاملCocaine experience controls bidirectional synaptic plasticity in the nucleus accumbens.
Plasticity of glutamatergic synapses is a fundamental mechanism through which experience changes neural function to impact future behavior. In animal models of addiction, glutamatergic signaling in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) exerts powerful control over drug-seeking behavior. However, little is known about whether, how or when experience with drugs may trigger synaptic plasticity in this key n...
متن کاملSynaptic inputs to granule cells of the dorsal cochlear nucleus.
The mammalian dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) integrates auditory nerve input with nonauditory signals via a cerebellar-like granule cell circuit. Although granule cells carry nonauditory information to the DCN, almost nothing is known about their physiology. Here we describe electrophysiological features of synaptic inputs to granule cells in the DCN by in vitro patch-clamp recordings from P12 t...
متن کاملBidirectional Synaptic Plasticity Regulated by Phosphorylation of Stargazin-like TARPs
Synaptic plasticity involves protein phosphorylation cascades that alter the density of AMPA-type glutamate receptors at excitatory synapses; however, the crucial phosphorylated substrates remain uncertain. Here, we show that the AMPA receptor-associated protein stargazin is quantitatively phosphorylated and that stargazin phosphorylation promotes synaptic trafficking of AMPA receptors. Synapti...
متن کاملModel of auditory prediction in the dorsal cochlear nucleus via spike-timing dependent plasticity
This study investigates the learning dynamics of cartwheel cells in the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN). Cartwheel cells are excited by parallel fibers that carry information from various sources, such as auditory stimuli, proprioception and recurrent inputs from higherorder auditory processing. Thus, these cells are thought to be involved in multimodal sensory integration. Extracellular in vivo ...
