GABAergic network activation of glial cells underlies hippocampal heterosynaptic depression.
Tetanus-induced heterosynaptic depression in the hippocampus is a key cellular mechanism in neural networks implicated in learning and memory. A growing body of evidence indicates that glial cells are important modulators of synaptic functions, but very little is known about their role in heterosynaptic plasticity. We examined the role of glial cells in heterosynaptic depression, knowing that t...

Background and purpose: Glial cells seem to play role in synaptic plasticity because they have the ability to release trophic factors and gliotransmitters and respond to neurotransmitters. They also play important role in synaptic space homeostasis. In this study, the role of hippocampal glial cells in baseline synaptic response and short term synaptic plasticity were investigated. Material...
متن کاملPerisynaptic glia discriminate patterns of motor nerve activity and influence plasticity at the neuromuscular junction.
In the nervous system, the induction of plasticity is coded by patterns of synaptic activity. Glial cells are now recognized as dynamic partners in a wide variety of brain functions, including the induction and modulation of various forms of synaptic plasticity. However, it appears that glial cells are usually activated by stereotyped, sustained neuronal activity, and little attention has been ...
متن کاملEditorial: The role of glia in plasticity and behavior
Citation: Hoogland TM and Parpura V (2015) Editorial: The role of glia in plasticity and behavior. New genetic tools have not only advanced our understanding of how neurons contribute to plasticity and behavior, but also unveiled glial cells as active participants in circuit function as highlighted in this Research Topic. Glia are found in the majority of animals with a nervous system and are e...
متن کاملSchwann cells modulate short-term plasticity of cholinergic autaptic synapses.
Nicotinic synapses in the autonomous nervous system display use-dependent plasticity but the contribution of cellular environment, as well as the presynaptic mechanisms implicated in this process remain to be determined. To address these questions synaptic function was assayed in rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons microcultured in isolation from any other cell type and compared to tho...
