Developmental changes in agonist-induced retrograde signaling at parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapses: role of calcium-induced calcium release.
In cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs), activation of postsynaptic mGluR1 receptors inhibits parallel fiber (PF) to PC synaptic transmission by retrograde signaling. However, results were conflicting with respect to whether endocannabinoids or glutamate (Glu) is the retrograde messenger involved. Experiments in cerebellar slices from 10- to 12-day-old rats and mice confirmed that suppression of PF-...
متن کاملRetrograde Inhibition of Presynaptic Calcium Influx by Endogenous Cannabinoids at Excitatory Synapses onto Purkinje Cells
Brief depolarization of cerebellar Purkinje cells was found to inhibit parallel fiber and climbing fiber EPSCs for tens of seconds. This depolarization-induced suppression of excitation (DSE) is accompanied by altered paired-pulse plasticity, suggesting a presynaptic locus. Fluorometric imaging revealed that postsynaptic depolarization also reduces presynaptic calcium influx. The inhibition of ...
متن کاملCalcium dependence of retrograde inhibition by endocannabinoids at synapses onto Purkinje cells.
Many types of neurons release endocannabinoids from their dendrites in response to elevation of intracellular calcium levels. Endocannabinoids then activate presynaptic cannabinoid receptors, thereby inhibiting neurotransmitter release for tens of seconds. A crucial step in understanding the physiological role of this retrograde signaling is to determine its sensitivity to elevations of postsyn...
متن کاملPersistent Posttetanic Depression at Cerebellar Parallel Fiber to Purkinje Cell Synapses
Plasticity at the cerebellar parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse may underlie information processing and motor learning. In vivo, parallel fibers appear to fire in short high frequency bursts likely to activate sparsely distributed synapses over the Purkinje cell dendritic tree. Here, we report that short parallel fiber tetanic stimulation evokes a ∼7-15% depression which develops over 2 mi...
متن کاملClimbing Fiber Activation of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors on Cerebellar Purkinje Neurons
In the cerebellum, metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are required for distinct forms of synaptic plasticity expressed at parallel fiber (PF) and climbing fiber (CF) synapses. At PF synapses, mGluR activation generates a slow synaptic current and triggers intracellular calcium release; at CF synapses, mGluR activation has not been observed. This has led some investigators to propose that...
