Archaerhodopsin Selectively and Reversibly Silences Synaptic Transmission through Altered pH
Tools that allow acute and selective silencing of synaptic transmission in vivo would be invaluable for understanding the synaptic basis of specific behaviors. Here, we show that presynaptic expression of the proton pump archaerhodopsin enables robust, selective, and reversible optogenetic synaptic silencing with rapid onset and offset. Two-photon fluorescence imaging revealed that this effect ...
متن کاملSynaptic Ribbons: Minireview Versatile Signal Transducers
Besides photoreceptors and hair cells, ribbons are also found in fish electroreceptors and the synaptic terminals of retinal bipolar cells. Ribbons are ubiquitous in Henrique von Gersdorff* Vollum Institute OHSU vertebrates, but the retina and optic lobes of squid and Portland, Oregon 97201 octopus do not contain ribbons. Evolution has obviously found ways around them. Although there is some di...
متن کاملExtracellular ATP Hydrolysis Inhibits Synaptic Transmission by Increasing pH Buffering in the Synaptic Cleft
Neuronal computations strongly depend on inhibitory interactions. One such example occurs at the first retinal synapse, where horizontal cells inhibit photoreceptors. This interaction generates the center/surround organization of bipolar cell receptive fields and is crucial for contrast enhancement. Despite its essential role in vision, the underlying synaptic mechanism has puzzled the neurosci...
متن کاملThe effect of ketamine on synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity in CA1 area of rat hippocampal slices
The effect of ketamine (1-100 µM), which has NMDA receptor antagonist properties, on synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation (LTP) in CAl area of rat hippocampus was examined in vitro. Field potentials were recorded in pyramidal cell layer following Schaffer collateral stimulation. Primed-burst stimulation (PEs) was used for induction of LTP. The amplitude of population spiks (PS) was ...
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...
