Synapse loss in olfactory local interneurons modifies perception.
Synapse loss correlates with cognitive decline in aging and most neurological pathologies. Sensory perception changes often represent subtle dysfunctions that precede the onset of a neurodegenerative disease. However, a cause-effect relationship between synapse loss and sensory perception deficits is difficult to prove and quantify due to functional and structural adaptation of neural systems. ...
متن کاملIncreasing the number of synapses modifies olfactory perception in Drosophila.
The Drosophila mutant gigas produces an enlargement of postmitotic cells caused by additional rounds of DNA replication. In neurons, the mutant cell establishes more synapses than normal. We have taken advantage of this feature to study the effect of synapse number on odorant perception. Mosaic adults were generated in which one antenna was homozygous for gigas, whereas the contralateral side s...
متن کاملPlasticity of local GABAergic interneurons drives olfactory habituation.
Despite its ubiquity and significance, behavioral habituation is poorly understood in terms of the underlying neural circuit mechanisms. Here, we present evidence that habituation arises from potentiation of inhibitory transmission within a circuit motif commonly repeated in the nervous system. In Drosophila, prior odorant exposure results in a selective reduction of response to this odorant. B...
متن کاملSynapse distribution of olfactory interneurons in the procerebrum of the snail Helix aspersa.
The procerebrum is believed to be important for processing olfactory information and storing olfactory memories in terrestrial pulmonate molluscs. Previous results have demonstrated that the procerebral cell population is morphologically heterogeneous. In the present study, serial sections and electron microscopy were used to investigate differences in synapse distributions. The results demonst...
متن کاملEarly synapse formation in developing interneurons of the adult olfactory bulb.
New olfactory bulb granule cells (GCs) are GABAergic interneurons continuously arising from neuronal progenitors and integrating into preexisting bulbar circuits. They receive both GABAergic and glutamatergic synaptic inputs from olfactory bulb intrinsic neurons and centrifugal afferents. Here, we investigated the spatiotemporal dynamic of newborn GC synaptogenesis in adult mouse olfactory bulb...
