Wnt signaling regulates experience-dependent synaptic plasticity in the adult nervous system
Wnts are evolutionarily conserved secreted glycoproteins that contribute to the patterning and development of many tissues in C. elegans, Drosophila and mammals. In the nervous system, Wnt signaling contributes to postmitotic cell fate, axon pathfinding, synaptogenesis and synaptic function. However, as we discuss here, the role of Wnt signaling is not limited to the development of the nervous ...
متن کاملWnt Signaling Regulates Acetylcholine Receptor Translocation and Synaptic Plasticity in the Adult Nervous System
The adult nervous system is plastic, allowing us to learn, remember, and forget. Experience-dependent plasticity occurs at synapses--the specialized points of contact between neurons where signaling occurs. However, the mechanisms that regulate the strength of synaptic signaling are not well understood. Here, we define a Wnt-signaling pathway that modifies synaptic strength in the adult nervous...
متن کاملMSK1 regulates homeostatic and experience-dependent synaptic plasticity.
The ability of neurons to modulate synaptic strength underpins synaptic plasticity, learning and memory, and adaptation to sensory experience. Despite the importance of synaptic adaptation in directing, reinforcing, and revising the behavioral response to environmental influences, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic adaptation are far from clear. Brain-derived neurotrophic...
متن کاملExperience-dependent homeostatic synaptic plasticity in neocortex.
The organism's ability to adapt to the changing sensory environment is due in part to the ability of the nervous system to change with experience. Input and synapse specific Hebbian plasticity, such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), are critical for sculpting the nervous system to wire its circuit in tune with the environment and for storing memories. However, thes...
متن کاملWnt signaling in the vertebrate central nervous system: from axon guidance to synaptic function.
Regulation of cell signaling by Wnt proteins is critical for the formation of neuronal circuits. Wnts modulate axon pathfinding, dendritic development, and synaptic assembly. Through different receptors, Wnts activate diverse signaling pathways that lead to local changes on the cytoskeleton or global cellular changes involving nuclear function. Recently, a link between neuronal activity, essent...
