Spike transmission delay at the calyx of Held in vivo: rate dependence, phenomenological modeling, and relevance for sound localization.
Transmission at central synapses exhibits rapid changes in response amplitude under different patterns of stimulation. Whether the delay associated with the transmission of action potentials is similarly modifiable is important for temporally precise computations. We address this question at the calyx of Held of the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) in Mongolian gerbils in vivo using ...
متن کاملHow secure is in vivo synaptic transmission at the calyx of Held?
The medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) receives excitatory input from giant presynaptic terminals, the calyces of Held. The MNTB functions as a sign inverter giving inhibitory input to the lateral and medial superior olive, where its input is important in the generation of binaural sensitivity to cues for sound localization. Extracellular recordings from MNTB neurons show complex spike...
متن کاملEnhanced Transmission at the Calyx of Held Synapse in a Mouse Model for Angelman Syndrome
The neurodevelopmental disorder Angelman syndrome (AS) is characterized by intellectual disability, motor dysfunction, distinct behavioral aspects, and epilepsy. AS is caused by a loss of the maternally expressed UBE3A gene, and many of the symptoms are recapitulated in a Ube3a mouse model of this syndrome. At the cellular level, changes in the axon initial segment (AIS) have been reported, and...
متن کاملThe calyx of Held develops adult-like dynamics and reliability by hearing onset in the mouse in vivo.
The development of the auditory system has received increasing attention since the mechanisms of patterned, spontaneous activity in prehearing mammals were discovered. This early activity originates in the cochlea and is assumed to be of importance for the establishment and refinement of synaptic connections in the auditory system. In the present study we investigate synaptic transmission and i...
متن کاملA computational model of synaptic transmission at the calyx of Held
The calyx of Held is a giant glutamatergic synapse in the mammalian auditory pathway designed to ensure faithful transmission of high frequency action potential trains. Preand postsynaptic recordings from this synapse reveal several forms of facilitation and depression. A computational model of synaptic transmission has been developed to investigate the mechanisms underlying modulation at the c...
