Experience-Dependent Plasticity and Modulation of Growth Regulatory Molecules at Central Synapses
Structural remodeling or repair of neural circuits depends on the balance between intrinsic neuronal properties and regulatory cues present in the surrounding microenvironment. These processes are also influenced by experience, but it is still unclear how external stimuli modulate growth-regulatory mechanisms in the central nervous system. We asked whether environmental stimulation promotes neu...
متن کاملExperience-Dependent Plasticity and the Maturation of Glutamatergic Synapses
Early Development of Glutamatergic Synaptic Currents The majority of fast excitatory neurotransmission in the CNS is mediated by ionotropic glutamate receptors, which are divided into NMDA, AMPA, and kainate receptor subtypes on the basis of the biophysical properties of their currents, their sensitivity to different pharmaco-Glutamatergic synaptic currents undergo a characteris-logical agents,...
متن کاملBidirectional 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 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 کاملInitiation, labile, and stabilization phases of experience-dependent plasticity at neocortical synapses.
Alteration of sensory input can change the strength of neocortical synapses. Selective activation of a subset of whiskers is sufficient to potentiate layer 4-layer 2/3 excitatory synapses in the mouse somatosensory (barrel) cortex, a process that is NMDAR dependent. By analyzing the time course of sensory-induced synaptic change, we have identified three distinct phases for synaptic strengtheni...
