Extracellular proteolysis in structural and functional plasticity of mossy fiber synapses in hippocampus
Brain is continuously altered in response to experience and environmental changes. One of the underlying mechanisms is synaptic plasticity, which is manifested by modification of synapse structure and function. It is becoming clear that regulated extracellular proteolysis plays a pivotal role in the structural and functional remodeling of synapses during brain development, learning and memory f...

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are known to be involved in a variety of developmental processes that play key roles in the establishment of synaptic connectivity during embryonic development, but recent evidence implicates the same molecules in synaptic plasticity of the adult. In the present study, we have used neural CAM (NCAM)-deficient mice, which have learning and behavioral deficits, to e...
متن کاملDevelopmental Analysis of Hippocampal Mossy Fiber Mutant Mouse with Inherited Spike-Wave Seizures Outgrowth in a
Neural firing patterns are an essential determinant of normal axon terminal growth and synaptic connectivity in developing afferent pathways, but the trophic role of synchronous activity in associative neural networks is less well defined. We examined the ontogeny of inherited synchronous hippocampal network discharges and mossy fiber innervation patterns at sequential stages of development in ...
متن کاملThe Mossy Fiber Bouton: the “Common” or the “Unique” Synapse?
Synapses are the key elements for signal processing and plasticity in the brain. They are composed of nearly the same structural subelements, an apposition zone including a pre- and postsynaptic density, a cleft and a pool of vesicles. It is, however, their actual composition that determines their different behavior in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Here, we describe and discuss the stru...
متن کاملStructural determinants of transmission at large hippocampal mossy fiber synapses.
Synapses are the key elements for signal processing and plasticity in the brain. To determine the structural factors underlying the unique functional properties of the hippocampal mossy fiber synapse, the complete quantitative geometry was investigated, using electron microscopy of serial ultrathin sections followed by computer-assisted three-dimensional reconstruction. In particular, parameter...
