Presynaptic strontium dynamics and synaptic transmission.
Strontium can replace calcium in triggering neurotransmitter release, although peak release is reduced and the duration of release is prolonged. Strontium has therefore become useful in probing release, but its mechanism of action is not well understood. Here we study the action of strontium at the granule cell to Purkinje cell synapse in mouse cerebellar slices. Presynaptic residual strontium ...
متن کاملSynaptic transmission: Exciting times for presynaptic receptors
Presynaptic receptors play an important role - typically inhibitory--in modulating the strength of synaptic transmission in the brain. Recent studies now reveal that neurotransmitters can enhance synaptic strength by activating ligand-gated ion channels in presynaptic nerve endings.
متن کاملGABAB-Mediated Presynaptic Inhibition of Excitatory Transmission and Synaptic Vesicle Dynamics in Cultured Hippocampal Neurons
Local recycling of synaptic vesicle membrane at nerve terminals is necessary to maintain a readily releasable pool of transmitter. To what extent are the dynamics of vesicle recycling subject to modulation? We examined the influence of presynaptic GABA(B) receptors on vesicle dynamics at single synapses using optical imaging of FM1-43 in cultured rat hippocampal neurons. The kinetics of FM1-43 ...
متن کاملPresynaptic Dendrites : Implications of Spikeless Synaptic Transmission and Dendritic Geometry
Two recent developments have modified our traditional concept of the neuron: output synapses have been discovered intermixed with input synapses and synaptic transmission has been shown to grade with presynaptic voltage. In a number of invertebrate spikeless and spiking neurons, synaptic transmission lasts for the duration of the presynaptic depolarization . There is a threshold presynaptic vol...
متن کاملProbing fundamental aspects of synaptic transmission with strontium.
Strontium is capable of supporting synaptic transmission, but release is dramatically different from that evoked in calcium. By measuring presynaptic strontium levels, we gain insight into the actions of strontium, which has implications for the identification of molecules involved in different aspects of synaptic transmission. We examined presynaptic divalent levels and synaptic release at the...
