Ephrin-Eph signaling is involved in axon guidance during development, but it may also regulate synapse development after the axon has contacted the target cell. Here we report that the activation of ephrin-B reverse signaling in the developing Xenopus laevis optic tectum promotes morphological and functional maturation of retinotectal synapses. Elevation of ephrin-B signaling increased the numb...
متن کاملPostinduction requirement of NMDA receptor activation for late-phase long-term potentiation of developing retinotectal synapses in vivo.
Spaced patterns of repetitive synaptic activation often result in a long-lasting, protein synthesis-dependent potentiation of synaptic transmission, known as late-phase long-term potentiation (L-LTP) that may serve as a substrate for long-term memory. Behavioral studies showed that posttraining blockade of NMDA subtype of the glutamate receptor (NMDAR) impaired long-term memory, although NMDAR ...
متن کاملNicotinic acetylcholine receptor-like molecules in the retina, retinotectal pathway, and optic tectum of the frog.
Forty-two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) generated against nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) from electric organ were tested for their ability to cross-react in the optic tectum of the frog Rana pipiens. Twenty-eight of the mAbs tested (67%) bound to the optic neuropil of the tectum as revealed by immunoperoxidase cytochemistry. The pattern of peroxidase stain for cross-reacting mAbs corr...
متن کاملQuantitative autoradiographic localization of NMDA, quisqualate and PCP receptors in the frog tectum.
An organizing role for the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor/channel has been suggested in the development of the retinotectal projection in Rana pipiens. The regional distributions of NMDA, phencyclidine (PCP) and quisqualic acid (QA) receptors were quantified using in vitro autoradiography in the tectum of normal and surgically produced 3-eyed juvenile frogs. NMDA and QA receptor binding w...
متن کاملNMDA receptor agonist and antagonists alter retinal ganglion cell arbor structure in the developing frog retinotectal projection.
The development of sensory maps is thought to require an activity-dependent structural rearrangement of afferent terminal arbors within the CNS which recreates the topographic relations of sensory somata present in the periphery. In the frog retinotectal projection, activation of the NMDA receptor plays a role in this structural plasticity. Exposure of the optic tectum of tadpoles to NMDA recep...
