Bidirectional activity-dependent plasticity at corticostriatal synapses.
Corticostriatal projections originate from the entire cerebral cortex and provide the major source of glutamatergic inputs to the basal ganglia. Despite the importance of corticostriatal connections in sensorimotor learning and cognitive functions, plasticity forms at these synapses remain strongly debated. Using a corticostriatal slice preserving the connections between the somatosensory corte...
متن کاملDopamine-dependent plasticity of corticostriatal synapses
Knowledge of the effect of dopamine on corticostriatal synaptic plasticity has advanced rapidly over the last 5 years. We consider this new knowledge in relation to three factors proposed earlier to describe the rules for synaptic plasticity in the corticostriatal pathway. These factors are a phasic increase in dopamine release, presynaptic activity and postsynaptic depolarisation. A function i...
متن کاملEndocannabinoid-dependent plasticity at spinal nociceptor synapses.
Neuroplastic changes at the spinal synapses between primary nociceptors and second order dorsal horn neurons play key roles in pain and analgesia. NMDA receptor-dependent forms of long-term plasticity have been studied extensively at these synapses, but little is known about possible contributions of the endocannabinoid system. Here, we addressed the role of cannabinoid (CB)1 receptors in activ...
متن کاملExercise-Induced Fatigue Impairs Bidirectional Corticostriatal Synaptic Plasticity
Exercise-induced fatigue (EF) is a ubiquitous phenomenon in sports competition and training. It can impair athletes' motor skill execution and cognition. Corticostriatal synaptic plasticity is considered to be the cellular mechanism of movement control and motor learning. However, the effect of EF on corticostriatal synaptic plasticity remains elusive. In the present study, using field excitato...
متن کاملRole of pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins in synaptic transmission and plasticity at corticostriatal synapses.
The role of pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive G-proteins in corticostriatal synaptic transmission and long-term synaptic depression (LTD) was examined using extracellular field potential and whole cell voltage-clamp recordings in striatal slices. High-frequency stimulation (HFS) produced LTD, defined as long-lasting decreases both in synaptically driven population spikes (PSs) measured with field...
