Correlated Alterations in Serotonergic and Dopaminergic Modulations at the Hippocampal Mossy Fiber Synapse in Mice Lacking Dysbindin
Dysbindin-1 (dystrobrevin-binding protein 1, DTNBP1) is one of the promising schizophrenia susceptibility genes. Dysbindin protein is abundantly expressed in synaptic regions of the hippocampus, including the terminal field of the mossy fibers, and this hippocampal expression of dysbindin is strongly reduced in patients with schizophrenia. In the present study, we examined the functional role o...
متن کاملPTP and LTP at a hippocampal mossy fiber-interneuron synapse.
The mossy fiber-CA3 pyramidal neuron synapse is a main component of the hippocampal trisynaptic circuitry. Recent studies, however, suggested that inhibitory interneurons are the major targets of the mossy fiber system. To study the regulation of mossy fiber-interneuron excitation, we examined unitary and compound excitatory postsynaptic currents in dentate gyrus basket cells, evoked by paired ...
متن کاملThe Hippocampal Mossy Fiber Synapse: Transmission, Modulation and Plasticity
Chemical synapses are key elements for the communication between nerve cells. This communication can be regulated on various time scales and through different mechanisms affecting synaptic transmission. Amongst these are slow and long-lasting adjustments by endogenous neuromodulators, instantaneous and reversible activitydependent regulation by short-term plasticity and persistent activity-depe...
متن کاملRevisiting the role of the hippocampal mossy fiber synapse.
The mossy fiber pathway has long been considered to provide the major source of excitatory input to pyramidal cells of hippocampal area CA3. In this review we describe anatomical and physiological properties of this pathway that challenge this view. We argue that the mossy fiber pathway does not provide the main input to CA3 pyramidal cells, and that the short-term plasticity and amplitude vari...
متن کاملThe role of presynaptic calcium in short-term enhancement at the hippocampal mossy fiber synapse.
The mossy fiber synapse between dentate granule cells and CA3 pyramidal cells in the guinea pig hippocampus shows a robust short-term synaptic enhancement. We have simultaneously measured presynaptic residual free calcium ([Ca2+]i) and postsynaptic field potentials at this synapse to examine the role of [Ca2+]i in this enhancement. Single action potentials produced an increase in [Ca2+]i of 10-...
