متن کاملGIT1 regulates synaptic structural plasticity underlying learning
The signaling scaffold protein GIT1 is expressed widely throughout the brain, but its function in vivo remains elusive. Mice lacking GIT1 have been proposed as a model for attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, due to alterations in basal locomotor activity as well as paradoxical locomotor suppression by the psychostimulant amphetamine. Since we had previously shown that GIT1-knockout mice h...
متن کاملSynaptic Plasticity: A molecular mechanism for metaplasticity
The results of expressing a constitutive form of a prominent synaptic kinase in transgenic mice suggest how there can be a sliding threshold for synapse modification, an important element in some learning theories. Experimental neuroscientists who work on synaptic plasticity usually spend their time down at the molecular level investigating basic mechanisms, whereas theoreti-cians who inhabit t...
متن کاملRegulatory effects of inhibiting the activation of glial cells on retinal synaptic plasticity
Various retinal injuries induced by ocular hypertension have been shown to induce plastic changes in retinal synapses, but the potential regulatory mechanism of synaptic plasticity after retinal injury was still unclear. A rat model of acute ocular hypertension was established by injecting saline intravitreally for an hour, and elevating the intraocular pressure to 14.63 kPa (110 mmHg). Western...
متن کاملPresynaptic mechanism underlying cAMP-dependent synaptic potentiation.
The adenylyl cyclase activator forskolin presynaptically facilitates synaptic transmission at many synapses, but the exact intracellular mechanism underlying this effect is not known. We studied this issue at the calyx of Held, where it is possible to make simultaneous presynaptic and postsynaptic whole-cell recordings. Bath application of forskolin or intracellular application of cAMP into pre...
