Long-Term Potentiation in Cultures of Single Hippocampal Granule Cells: A Presynaptic Form of Plasticity
We have explored the mechanisms of mossy fiber long-term potentiation (LTP) at autapses in single-cell cultures of guinea pig hippocampal dentate granule cells. L-AP4-sensitive, but not insensitive, cells responded to a brief tetanus with a sustained potentiation in the synaptic responses. The induction of this LTP appeared identical to that observed in hippocampal mossy fiber synapses in situ,...
متن کاملInduction of hebbian and non-hebbian mossy fiber long-term potentiation by distinct patterns of high-frequency stimulation.
The synapse made by hippocampal mossy fibers onto pyramidal neurons of hippocampal area CA3 displays a form of long-term potentiation (LTP) that is independent of the activation of NMDA receptors. Considerable controversy exists as to whether the induction of mossy fiber LTP requires postsynaptic activation and, thus, whether mossy fiber LTP is Hebbian or non-Hebbian. Here we report the inducti...
متن کاملCyclic AMP Mediates a Presynaptic Form of LTP at Cerebellar Parallel Fiber Synapses
The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-independent form of long-term potentiation (LTP) at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses requires presynaptic Ca(2+)-dependent activation of adenylyl cyclase. To determine whether this form of LTP might occur at other synapses, we examined cerebellar parallel fibers that, like hippocampal mossy fiber synapses, express high levels of the Ca2+/calmodulin-sensitive ad...
متن کاملInduction of mossy fiber --> Ca3 long-term potentiation requires translocation of synaptically released Zn2+.
The mammalian CNS contains an abundance of chelatable Zn(2+) sequestered in the vesicles of glutamatergic terminals. These vesicles are particularly numerous in hippocampal mossy fiber synapses of the hilar and CA3 regions. Our recent observation of frequency-dependent Zn(2+) release from mossy fiber synaptic terminals and subsequent entry into postsynaptic neurons has prompted us to investigat...
متن کاملPostsynaptic expression of a new calcium pathway in hippocampal CA3 neurons and its influence on mossy fiber long-term potentiation.
Long-term potentiation (LTP) in the CA1 region of the hippocampus is induced by postsynaptic Ca(2+) influx via NMDA receptors (NMDARs). However, this synaptic plasticity occurs independently of NMDARs when Ca(2+)-permeable AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are expressed at postsynaptic sites using various genetic techniques, indicating that an increase in Ca(2+) level at critical postsynaptic sites, rega...
