BRAGging about Mechanisms of Long-Term Depression
The mechanisms of long-term depression (LTD) underlie various aspects of normal brain function. Therefore, it is important to understand the signaling that underpins LTD. The study by Scholz et al. in this issue of Neuron describes how BRAG2, mGluRs, and AMPARs come together to produce LTD through AMPAR internalization.
متن کاملSynaptic mechanisms for long-term depression.
Neural networks that store information at synapses rely on mechanisms for increasing and decreasing synaptic strengths. In 1973 Bliss and Lramo reported that stimulating the perforant pathway projecting to the hippocam pus with a high ,frequency tetanus resulted in a rapid and persistent elevation. of the synaptic efficacy [ 11. This form of long-term potent&ion (LTP) lasts for many hours in sl...
متن کاملPost-receptor mechanisms underlying striatal long-term depression.
Extracellular and intracellular recordings were obtained from striatal neurons in a brain slice preparation in order to characterize the post-receptor mechanisms underlying striatal posttetanic long-term depression (LTD). Striatal LTD was blocked in neurons intracellularly recorded either with 1,2-bis (o-aminophenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) or with EGTA, calcium (Ca2+) chelat...
متن کاملMechanisms for synapse specificity during striatal long-term depression.
Endocannabinoid (eCB)-mediated forms of long-term synaptic plasticity occur in several brain regions, but much remains unknown about their basic properties and underlying mechanisms. Here, we present evidence that eCB-mediated long-term depression (eCB-LTD) at excitatory synapses on medium spiny neurons in the striatum requires presynaptic activity coincident with CB1 receptor activation. This ...
متن کاملMetabotropic glutamate receptor-mediated long-term depression: molecular mechanisms.
The ability to modify synaptic transmission between neurons is a fundamental process of the nervous system that is involved in development, learning, and disease. Thus, synaptic plasticity is the ability to bidirectionally modify transmission, where long-term potentiation and long-term depression (LTD) represent the best characterized forms of plasticity. In the hippocampus, two main forms of L...
