CLC-3 Channels Modulate Excitatory Synaptic Transmission in Hippocampal Neurons
It is well established that ligand-gated chloride flux across the plasma membrane modulates neuronal excitability. We find that a voltage-dependent Cl(-) conductance increases neuronal excitability in immature rodents as well, enhancing the time course of NMDA receptor-mediated miniature excitatory postsynaptic potentials (mEPSPs). This Cl(-) conductance is activated by CaMKII, is electrophysio...
متن کاملDynamic inhibition of excitatory synaptic transmission by astrocyte-derived ATP in hippocampal cultures.
Originally ascribed passive roles in the CNS, astrocytes are now known to have an active role in the regulation of synaptic transmission. Neuronal activity can evoke Ca2+ transients in astrocytes, and Ca2+ transients in astrocytes can evoke changes in neuronal activity. The excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate has been shown to mediate such bidirectional communication between astrocytes and ne...
متن کاملRegulation of excitatory transmission at hippocampal synapses by calbindin D 28 k ( calcium / adenovirus / synaptic plasticity )
Distinct subpopulations of neurons in the brain contain one or more of the Ca2+-binding proteins calbindin D28k calretinin, and parvalbumin. Although it has been shown that these high-afflnity Ca2+-binding proteins can increase neuronal Ca2+ buffering capacity, it is not clear which aspects of neuronal physiology they normally regulate. To investigate this problem, we used a recently developed ...
متن کاملSynaptic adhesion molecules and excitatory synaptic transmission
Synaptic adhesion molecules have been extensively studied for their contribution to the regulation of synapse development through trans-synaptic adhesions. However, accumulating evidence increasingly indicates that synaptic adhesion molecules are also involved in the regulation of excitatory synaptic transmission and plasticity, often through direct or close associations with excitatory neurotr...
متن کاملModulation of excitatory synaptic transmission by adenosine released from single hippocampal pyramidal neurons.
Adenosine is a potent neuromodulator in the CNS, but the mechanisms that regulate adenosine concentrations in the extracellular space remain unclear. The present study demonstrates that increasing the intracellular concentration of adenosine in a single hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neuron selectively inhibits the excitatory postsynaptic potentials in that cell. Loading neurons with high concentrat...
