Calcium Microdomains in Aspiny Dendrites
Dendritic spines receive excitatory synapses and serve as calcium compartments, which appear to be necessary for input-specific synaptic plasticity. Dendrites of GABAergic interneurons have few or no spines and thus do not possess a clear morphological basis for synapse-specific compartmentalization. We demonstrate using two-photon calcium imaging that activation of single synapses on aspiny de...
متن کاملBarriers to Diffusion in Dendrites and Estimation of Calcium Spread Following Synaptic Inputs
The motion of ions, molecules or proteins in dendrites is restricted by cytoplasmic obstacles such as organelles, microtubules and actin network. To account for molecular crowding, we study the effect of diffusion barriers on local calcium spread in a dendrite. We first present a model based on a dimension reduction approach to approximate a three dimensional diffusion in a cylindrical dendrite...
متن کاملCalcium Signaling in Dendrites and Spines: Practical and Functional Considerations
Changes in intracellular calcium (Ca) concentration following synaptic and suprathreshold activity are mediated by a wide range of sources and contribute to the regulation of myriad neuronal functions. The development of Ca imaging techniques has dramatically increased our understanding of the complex interactions between different Ca sources and their ability to produce spatial and temporal sp...
متن کاملElectrical and calcium signaling in dendrites of hippocampal pyramidal neurons.
This review discusses recent data regarding the different types of voltage-gated Na+, Ca2+, and K+ channels in dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons and their function for synaptic integration and plasticity. Na+ and Ca2+ channels are uniformly distributed throughout the dendrites, although Na+ channels in the soma and proximal dendrites differ in their inactivation properties from Na+ channels in...
متن کاملAnalytical Modelling of the Spread of Disease in Confined and Crowded Spaces
Since 1927 and until recently, most models describing the spread of disease have been of compartmental type, based on the assumption that populations are homogeneous and well-mixed. Recent models have utilised agent-based models and complex networks to explicitly study heterogeneous interaction patterns, but this leads to an increasing computational complexity. Compartmental models are appealin...
