Modelling Vesicular Release at Hippocampal Synapses
We study local calcium dynamics leading to a vesicle fusion in a stochastic, and spatially explicit, biophysical model of the CA3-CA1 presynaptic bouton. The kinetic model for vesicle release has two calcium sensors, a sensor for fast synchronous release that lasts a few tens of milliseconds and a separate sensor for slow asynchronous release that lasts a few hundred milliseconds. A wide range ...
متن کاملSpatial and Temporal Correlates of Vesicular Release at Hippocampal Synapses
We develop a spatially explicit biophysical model of the hippocampal CA3-CA1 presynaptic bouton to study local calcium dynamics leading to vesicle fusion. A kinetic model with two calcium sensors is formulated specifically for the CA3-CA1 synapse. The model includes a sensor for fast synchronous release that lasts a few tens of milliseconds and a sensor for slow asynchronous release that lasts ...
متن کاملVesicular Release Statistics and Unitary Postsynaptic Current at Single GABAergic Synapses
The existence of vesicular docking sites in central synapses is supported by morphological and biochemical evidence, but their functional role remains elusive. To investigate this role we have studied single depressing GABAergic synapses where multivesicular release and postsynaptic receptor saturation have been documented. We used failure/success patterns to estimate the number of vesicular do...
متن کاملRelease probability-dependent scaling of the postsynaptic responses at single hippocampal GABAergic synapses.
The amount of neurotransmitter released after the arrival of an action potential affects the strength and the trial-to-trial variability of postsynaptic responses. Most studies examining the dependence of synaptic neurotransmitter concentration on the release probability (P(r)) have focused on glutamatergic synapses. Here we asked whether univesicular or multivesicular release characterizes tra...
متن کاملZinc Stabilizes Shank3 at the Postsynaptic Density of Hippocampal Synapses
Shank3 is a postsynaptic density (PSD) scaffold protein of the Shank family. Here we use pre-embedding immunogold electron microscopy to investigate factors influencing the distribution of Shank3 at the PSD. In dissociated rat hippocampal cultures under basal conditions, label for Shank3 was concentrated in a broad layer of the PSD, ~20-80 nm from the postsynaptic membrane. Upon depolarization ...
