Dopaminergic modulation of short-term synaptic plasticity at striatal inhibitory synapses.
Circuit properties, such as the selection of motor synergies, have been posited as relevant tasks for the recurrent inhibitory synapses between spiny projection neurons of the neostriatum, a nucleus of the basal ganglia participating in procedural learning and voluntary motor control. Here we show how the dopaminergic system regulates short-term plasticity (STP) in these synapses. STP is though...
متن کاملEndocannabinoid–Dopamine Interactions in Striatal Synaptic Plasticity
The nigrostriatal dopaminergic system is implicated in action control and learning. A large body of work has focused on the contribution of this system to modulation of the corticostriatal synapse, the predominant synapse type in the striatum. Signaling through the D2 dopamine receptor is necessary for endocannabinoid-mediated depression of corticostriatal glutamate release. Here we review the ...
متن کاملDopaminergic Modulation of Striatal Inhibitory Transmission and Long-Term Plasticity
Dopamine (DA) modulates glutamatergic synaptic transmission and its plasticity in the striatum; however it is not well known how DA modulates long-term plasticity of striatal GABAergic inhibitory synapses. This work focused on the analysis of both dopaminergic modulation of inhibitory synapses and the synaptic plasticity established between GABAergic afferents to medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Ou...
متن کاملNeuromodulatory control of striatal plasticity and behavior.
Excitatory synapses onto projection neurons in the striatum, the input nucleus of the basal ganglia, play a key role in regulating basal ganglia circuit function and are a major site of long-term synaptic plasticity. Here, we review the mechanisms and regulation of both long-term potentiation and long-term depression at these synapses. In particular, we highlight the role that neuromodulators p...
متن کاملTranslational Control of Synaptic Plasticity
Activity-dependent and synapse-specific translation of mRNAs is required for long-term changes in synaptic strength (or efficacy). However, many of the components mediating repression, transport and activation of mRNAs are unknown. Translational control in neurons is a highly conserved process and mediated by a ribonuclear particle (RNP). This study shows that RNPs in Drosophila neurons are sim...
