Hierarchical excitatory synaptic connectivity in mouse olfactory cortex.
Topological motifs in synaptic connectivity-such as the cortical column-are fundamental to processing of information in cortical structures. However, the mesoscale topology of cortical networks beyond columns remains largely unknown. In the olfactory cortex, which lacks an obvious columnar structure, sensory-evoked patterns of activity have failed to reveal organizational principles of the netw...
متن کاملMeCP2 Controls Excitatory Synaptic Strength by Regulating Glutamatergic Synapse Number
MeCP2 is a transcriptional repressor critical for normal neurological function. Prior studies demonstrated that either loss or doubling of MeCP2 results in postnatal neurodevelopmental disorders. To understand the impact of MeCP2 expression on neuronal function, we studied the synaptic properties of individual neurons from mice that either lack or express twice the normal levels of MeCP2. Hippo...
متن کاملThree-dimensional mapping of unitary synaptic connections by two-photon macro photolysis of caged glutamate.
To understand the precise microarchitecture of the cortical circuitry, it is crucial to know the distribution of synaptic connections and their synaptic strengths at the level of a single cell, rather than a group of cells. Here, we describe a new application of two-photon photolysis of caged glutamate that enabled us to induce an action potential in only a small number (about five) of pyramida...
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 کاملOptogenetic Control of Synaptic Composition and Function
The molecular composition of the postsynaptic membrane is sculpted by synaptic activity. During synaptic plasticity at excitatory synapses, numerous structural, signaling, and receptor molecules concentrate at the postsynaptic density (PSD) to regulate synaptic strength. We developed an approach that uses light to tune the abundance of specific molecules in the PSD. We used this approach to inv...
