Synaptic Transmission Optimization Predicts Expression Loci of Long-Term Plasticity
Long-term modifications of neuronal connections are critical for reliable memory storage in the brain. However, their locus of expression-pre- or postsynaptic-is highly variable. Here we introduce a theoretical framework in which long-term plasticity performs an optimization of the postsynaptic response statistics toward a given mean with minimal variance. Consequently, the state of the synapse...
متن کاملA novel synaptic plasticity rule explains homeostasis of neuromuscular transmission
Excitability differs among muscle fibers and undergoes continuous changes during development and growth, yet the neuromuscular synapse maintains a remarkable fidelity of execution. Here we show in two evolutionarily distant vertebrates (Xenopus laevis cell culture and mouse nerve-muscle ex-vivo) that the skeletal muscle cell constantly senses, through two identified calcium signals, synaptic ev...
متن کاملShort-term plasticity optimizes synaptic information transmission.
Short-term synaptic plasticity (STP) is widely thought to play an important role in information processing. This major function of STP has recently been challenged, however, by several computational studies indicating that transmission of information by dynamic synapses is broadband, i.e., frequency independent. Here we developed an analytical approach to quantify time- and rate-dependent synap...
متن کاملDynamical model of long-term synaptic plasticity.
Long-term synaptic plasticity leading to enhancement in synaptic efficacy (long-term potentiation, LTP) or decrease in synaptic efficacy (long-term depression, LTD) is widely regarded as underlying learning and memory in nervous systems. LTP and LTD at excitatory neuronal synapses are observed to be induced by precise timing of pre- and postsynaptic events. Modification of synaptic transmission...
متن کاملLong-term synaptic plasticity in the honeybee.
A monosynaptic response was recorded in vivo in the mushroom body of the bee brain, an important site for memory consolidation. Focal electrical stimulation of a major afferent input evoked an extracellular field potential that consisted of a presynaptic fiber volley and a postsynaptic response. We report a long-lasting potentiation of the synaptic response (2.6-fold increase; < or = 3.5 h). Po...
