The response of the gill of Aplysia calfornica Cooper to weak to moderate tactile stimulation of the siphon, the gill-withdrawal response or GWR, has been an important model system for work aimed at understanding the relationship between neural plasticity and simple forms of non-associative and associative learning. Interest in the GWR has been based largely on the hypothesis that the response could be explained adequately by parallel monosynaptic reflex arcs between six parietovisceral ganglion (PVG) gill motor neurons (GMNs) and a cluster of sensory neurons termed the LE cluster. This hypothesis, the Kupfermann-Kandel model, made clear, falsifiable predictions that have stimulated experimental work for many years. Here, we review tests of three predictions of the Kupfermann-Kandel model: (1) that the GWR is a simple, reflexive behaviour graded with stimulus intensity; (2) that central nervous system (CNS) pathways are necessary and sufficient for the GWR; and (3) that activity in six identified GMNs is sufficient to account for the GWR. The available data suggest that (1) a variety of action patterns occur in the context of the GWR; (2) the PVG is not necessary and the diffuse peripheral nervous system (PNS) is sufficient to mediate these action patterns; and (3) the role of any individual GMN in the behaviour varies. Both the control of gill-withdrawal responses, and plasticity in these responses, are broadly distributed across both PNS and CNS pathways. The Kupfermann-Kandel model is inconsistent with the available data and therefore stands rejected. There is, no known causal connection or correlation between the observed plasticity at the identified synapses in this system and behavioural changes during non-associative and associative learning paradigms. Critical examination of these well-studied central pathways suggests that they represent a 'wetware' neural network, architecturally similar to the neural network models of the widely used 'Perceptron' and/or 'Back-propagation' type. Such models may offer a more biologically realistic representation of nervous system organisation than has been thought. In this model, the six parallel GMNs of the CNS correspond to a hidden layer within one module of the gill-control system. That is, the gill-control system appears to be organised as a distributed system with several parallel modules, some of which are neural networks in their own right. A new model is presented here which predicts that the six GMNs serve as components of a 'push-pull' gain control system, along with known but largely unidentified inhibitory motor neurons from the PVG. This 'push-pull' gain control system sets the responsiveness of the peripheral gill motor system. Neither causal nor correlational links between specific forms of neural plasticity and behavioural plasticity have been demonstrated in the GWR model system. However, the GWR model system does provide an opportunity to observe and describe directly the physiological and biochemical mechanisms of distributed representation and parallel processing in a largely identifiable 'wetware' neural network. 相似文献

In the present study we will try to single out several principles of the nervous system functioning essential for describing mechanisms of learning and memory basing on our own experimental investigation of cellular mechanisms of memory in the nervous system of gastropod molluscs and literature data: main changes in functioning due to learning occur in effectivity of synaptic inputs and in the intrinsic properties of postsynaptic neurons; due to learning some synaptic inputs of neurons selectively change its effectivity due to pre- and postsynaptic changes, but the induction of plasticity always starts in postsynapse, maintaining of long-term memory in postsynapse is also shown; reinforcement is not related to activity of the neural chain receptor-sensory neuron-interneuron-motoneuron-effector; reinforcement is mediated via activity of modulatory neurons, and in some cases can be exerted by a single neuron; activity of modulatory neurons is necessary for development of plastic modifications of behavior (including associative), but is not needed for recall of conditioned responses. At the same time, the modulatory neurons (in fact they constitute a neural reinforcement system) are necessary for recall of context associative memory; changes due to learning occur at least in two independent loci in the nervous system. A possibility for erasure of memory with participation of nitroxide is experimentally and theoretically based. 相似文献

Conditioned reflex is characterized by plasticity resulting in a bilateral selective input-output linking. In simple nervous systems, input stimuli are represented by selective detectors connected with command neurons through plastic synapses strengthened during associative learning and weakened during extinction. The process of associative learning is due to temporal coincidence of excitation in both detector and command neurons. Short-term memory within a plastic synapses is mediated by phosphorilation of postsynaptic receptor molecules not requiring protein synthesis. Long-term synaptic memory parallels expression of immediate early genes that mediates structural gene expression and protein synthesis. A simple detector-command neuron association becomes more complex in the course of evolution. Input mechanism is supplemented with predetector interneurons preceding detectors. Detector selectively tuned to specific input stimulus is converging on a command neuron constitute selectivity mechanism for conditioned reflexes to complex stimuli. The complication also concerns the output mechanisms. Command neurons become more specialized, and an additional link of premotor interneurons is incorporated between command neurons and motor neurons. Via synapses, the command neurons can produce excitation in a particular set of premotor neurons controlling a specific set of motor neurons responsible for behavioral act configuration. Specialization of command neurons in combination with premotor neuron structures increases the variability of outputs. Conditioned reflexes with more complex inputs and more flexible outputs determine the diversity of acquired behaviors. 相似文献

It is known from the experimental data that at different cerebellar neurons there are voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, NMDA receptors, metabotropic glutamate and GABAB receptors. This receptor arrangement ensures that activation of excitatory and inhibitory input results in changes in activity of protein kinases and phosphatases and subsequent modification of synaptic efficacy. The mechanism of synaptic plasticity is advanced that in accordance with the known experimental data concerning the modification of excitatory and inhibitory inputs to Purkinje cells, granule cells, and deep cerebellar nuclei cells. The mechanism is based on a postulate that phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of AMPA (GABAA) receptors on cerebellar cells causes the LTP/LTD of excitatory (LTD/LTP of inhibitory) transmission. It is assumed that modification rules for Purkinje cells, granule cells, and deep cerebellar nuclei cells, wherein cGMP-dependent protein kinase G is involved in synaptic plasticity, are distinct from those of hippocampal/neocortical cells, wherein cAMP-dependent protein kinase A is involved in synaptic plasticity, since cGMP (cAMP) concentration decreases (increases) with Ca2+ rise. 相似文献

Dynamic modulation of ion channel expression, localization, and/or function drives plasticity in intrinsic neuronal excitability. Voltage-gated Kv2.1 potassium channels are constitutively maintained in a highly phosphorylated state in neurons. Increased neuronal activity triggers rapid calcineurin-dependent dephosphorylation, loss of channel clustering, and hyperpolarizing shifts in voltage-dependent activation that homeostatically suppress neuronal excitability. These changes are reversible, such that rephosphorylation occurs after removal of excitatory stimuli. Here, we show that cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5), a Pro-directed Ser/Thr protein kinase, directly phosphorylates Kv2.1, and determines the constitutive level of Kv2.1 phosphorylation, the rapid increase in Kv2.1 phosphorylation upon acute blockade of neuronal activity, and the recovery of Kv2.1 phosphorylation after stimulus-induced dephosphorylation. We also demonstrate that although the phosphorylation state of Kv2.1 is also shaped by the activity of the PP1 protein phosphatase, the regulation of Kv2.1 phosphorylation by CDK5 is not mediated through the previously described regulation of PP1 activity by CDK5. Together, these studies support a novel role for CDK5 in regulating Kv2.1 channels through direct phosphorylation. 相似文献

A complete understanding of the cellular mechanisms underlying the formation of associations between stimuli, as occurs during classical conditioning, requires an understanding of the non-associative effects of the individual stimuli. The siphon withdrawal reflex of Aplysia exhibits both non-associative and associative learning when a tactile stimulus to the siphon serves as a conditioned stimulus, and tail shock serves as an unconditioned stimulus. In this chapter we describe experiments which examine the non-associative effects of tail shock at three different levels of analysis. At a behavioural level we found that the magnitude, and even the sign of reflex modulation induced by tail shock depended critically on three parameters: (i) the state of the reflex (habituated or non-habituated); (ii) the strength of the tail shock, and (iii) the time of testing after tail shock. Specifically, when non-habituated responses produced by water jet stimuli to the siphon were examined, tail shock produced transient inhibition 90 s later; facilitation of non-habituated responses (sensitization) only emerged after a considerable delay of 20-30 min. When habituated responses were examined, tail shock produced immediate facilitation (dishabituation); the amount of facilitation was inversely related to the strength of tail shock, with stronger shock producing no dishabituation. At a cellular level it was found that the complex excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) in siphon motor neurons produced by water jet stimuli to the siphon provides a reliable cellular correlate of several of the non-associative effects of tail shock that we observe behaviourally. When non-decremented complex EPSPS were examined, strong tail shock produced transient inhibition at a test 90 s after shock.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Activity-dependent presynaptic facilitation and hebbian LTP are both required and interact during classical conditioning in Aplysia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Using a simplified preparation of the Aplysia siphon-withdrawal reflex, we previously found that associative plasticity at synapses between sensory neurons and motor neurons contributes importantly to classical conditioning of the reflex. We have now tested the roles in that plasticity of two associative cellular mechanisms: activity-dependent enhancement of presynaptic facilitation and postsynaptically induced long-term potentiation. By perturbing molecular signaling pathways in individual neurons, we have provided the most direct evidence to date that each of these mechanisms contributes to behavioral learning. In addition, our results suggest that the two mechanisms are not independent but rather interact through retrograde signaling. 相似文献

Abnormal phosphorylation and aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein Tau are hallmarks of various neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer disease. Molecular mechanisms that regulate Tau phosphorylation are complex and currently incompletely understood. We have developed a novel live cell reporter system based on protein-fragment complementation assay to study dynamic changes in Tau phosphorylation status. In this assay, fusion proteins of Tau and Pin1 (peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans-isomerase 1) carrying complementary fragments of a luciferase protein serve as a sensor of altered protein-protein interaction between Tau and Pin1, a critical regulator of Tau dephosphorylation at several disease-associated proline-directed phosphorylation sites. Using this system, we identified several structurally distinct GABA(A) receptor modulators as novel regulators of Tau phosphorylation in a chemical library screen. GABA(A) receptor activation promoted specific phosphorylation of Tau at the AT8 epitope (Ser-199/Ser-202/Thr-205) in cultures of mature cortical neurons. Increased Tau phosphorylation by GABA(A) receptor activity was associated with reduced Tau binding to protein phosphatase 2A and was dependent on Cdk5 but not GSK3β kinase activity. 相似文献

Posttranslational modifications and receptor-associated proteins in AMPA receptor trafficking and synaptic plasticity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) mediate most fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the mammalian brain. It is widely believed that the long-lasting, activity-dependent changes in synaptic strength, including long-term potentiation and long-term depression, could be the molecular and cellular basis of experience-dependent plasticities, such as learning and memory. Those changes of synaptic strength are directly related to AMPAR trafficking to and away from the synapse. There are many forms of synaptic plasticity in the mammalian brain, while the prototypic form, hippocampal CA1 long-term potentiation, has received the most intense investigation. After synthesis, AMPAR subunits undergo posttranslational modifications such as glycosylation, palmitoylation, phosphorylation and potential ubiquitination. In addition, AMPAR subunits spatiotemporally associate with specific neuronal proteins in the cell. Those posttranslational modifications and receptor-associated proteins play critical roles in AMPAR trafficking and regulation of AMPAR-dependent synaptic plasticity. Here, we summarize recent studies on posttranslational modifications and associated proteins of AMPAR subunits, and their roles in receptor trafficking and synaptic plasticity. 相似文献

Bidirectional regulation of neuronal nitric-oxide synthase phosphorylation at serine 847 by the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
At glutamatergic synapses, the scaffolding protein PSD95 links the neuronal isoform of nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS) to the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Phosphorylation of nNOS at serine 847 (Ser(847)) by the calcium-calmodulin protein kinase II (CaMKII) inhibits nNOS activity, possibly by blocking the binding of Ca(2+)-CaM. Here we show that the NMDA mediates a novel bidirectional regulation of Ser(847) phosphorylation. nNOS phosphorylated at Ser(847) colocalizes with the NMDA receptor at spines of cultured hippocampal neurons. Treatment of neurons with 5 microm glutamate stimulated CaMKII phosphorylation of nNOS at Ser(847), whereas excitotoxic concentrations of glutamate, 100 and 500 microm, induced Ser(847)-PO(4) dephosphorylation by protein phosphatase 1. Strong NMDA receptor stimulation was likely to activate nNOS under these conditions because protein nitration to form nitrotyrosine, a marker of nNOS activity, correlated in individual neurons with Ser(847)-PO(4) dephosphorylation. Of particular note, stimulation with low glutamate that increased phosphorylation of nNOS at Ser(847) could be reversed by subsequent high glutamate treatment which induced dephosphorylation. The reversibility of NMDA receptor-induced phosphorylation at Ser(847) by different doses of glutamate suggests two mechanisms with opposite effects: 1). a time-dependent negative feedback induced by physiological concentrations of glutamate that limits nNOS activation and precludes the overproduction of NO; and 2). a pathological stimulation by high concentrations of glutamate that leads to unregulated nNOS activation and production of toxic levels of NO. These mechanisms may share pathways, respectively, with NMDA receptor-induced forms of synaptic plasticity and excitotoxicity. 相似文献

The metabotropic glutamate receptor type 7 (mGluR7) is the predominant group III mGluR in the presynaptic active zone, where it serves as an autoreceptor to inhibit neurotransmitter release. Our previous studies show that PKC phosphorylation of mGluR7 on Ser-862 is a key mechanism controlling constitutive and activity-dependent surface expression of mGluR7 by regulating a competitive interaction of calmodulin and protein interacting with C kinase (PICK1). As receptor phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are tightly coordinated through the precise action of protein kinases and phosphatases, dephosphorylation by phosphatases is likely to play an active role in governing the activity-dependent or agonist-induced changes in mGluR7 receptor surface expression. In the present study, we find that the serine/threonine protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) has a crucial role in the constitutive and agonist-induced dephosphorylation of Ser-862 on mGluR7. Treatment of neurons with PP1 inhibitors leads to a robust increase in Ser-862 phosphorylation and increased surface expression of mGluR7. In addition, Ser-862 phosphorylation of both mGluR7a and mGluR7b is a target of PP1. Interestingly, agonist-induced dephosphorylation of mGluR7 is regulated by PP1, whereas NMDA-mediated activity-induced dephosphorylation is not, illustrating there are multiple signaling pathways that affect receptor phosphorylation and trafficking. Importantly, PP1γ1 regulates agonist-dependent Ser-862 dephosphorylation and surface expression of mGluR7. 相似文献

Although experience-dependent changes in neural circuits are commonly assumed to be mediated by synaptic plasticity, modifications of intrinsic excitability may serve as a complementary mechanism. In whole-cell recordings from spontaneously firing vestibular nucleus neurons, brief periods of inhibitory synaptic stimulation or direct membrane hyperpolarization triggered long-lasting increases in spontaneous firing rates and firing responses to intracellular depolarization. These increases in excitability, termed firing rate potentiation, were induced by decreases in intracellular calcium and expressed as reductions in the sensitivity to the BK-type calcium-activated potassium channel blocker iberiotoxin. Firing rate potentiation is a novel form of cellular plasticity that could contribute to motor learning in the vestibulo-ocular reflex. 相似文献

The nervous system of the marine mollusk Aplysia californica is relatively simple, consisting of approximately 20,000 neurons. The neurons are large (up to 1 mm in diameter) and identifiable, with distinct sizes, shapes, positions and pigmentations, and the cell bodies are externally exposed in five paired ganglia distributed throughout the body of the animal. These properties have allowed investigators to delineate the circuitry underlying specific behaviors in the animal1. The monosynaptic connection between sensory and motor neurons is a central component of the gill-withdrawal reflex in the animal, a simple defensive reflex in which the animal withdraws its gill in response to tactile stimulation of the siphon. This reflex undergoes forms of non-associative and associative learning, including sensitization, habituation and classical conditioning. Of particular benefit to the study of synaptic plasticity, the sensory-motor synapse can be reconstituted in culture, where well-characterized stimuli elicit forms of plasticity that have direct correlates in the behavior of the animal2,3. Specifically, application of serotonin produces a synaptic strengthening that, depending on the application protocol, lasts for minutes (short-term facilitation), hours (intermediate-term facilitation) or days (long-term facilitation). In contrast, application of the peptide transmitter FMRFamide produces a synaptic weakening or depression that, depending on the application protocol, can last from minutes to days (long-term depression). The large size of the neurons allows for repeated sharp electrode recording of synaptic strength over periods of days together with microinjection of expression vectors, siRNAs and other compounds to target specific signaling cascades and molecules and thereby identify the molecular and cell biological steps that underlie the changes in synaptic efficacy.An additional advantage of the Aplysia culture system comes from the fact that the neurons demonstrate synapse-specificity in culture4,5. Thus, sensory neurons do not form synapses with themselves (autapses) or with other sensory neurons, nor do they form synapses with non-target identified motor neurons in culture. The varicosities, sites of synaptic contact between sensory and motor neurons, are large enough (2-7 microns in diameter) to allow synapse formation (as well as changes in synaptic morphology) with target motor neurons to be studied at the light microscopic level.In this video, we demonstrate each step of preparing sensory-motor neuron cultures, including anesthetizing adult and juvenile Aplysia, dissecting their ganglia, protease digestion of the ganglia, removal of the connective tissue by microdissection, identification of both sensory and motor neurons and removal of each cell type by microdissection, plating of the motor neuron, addition of the sensory neuron and manipulation of the sensory neurite to form contact with the cultured motor neuron.Open in a separate windowClick here to view.(105M, flv) 相似文献

Gap junctions, specialized membrane structures that mediate cell-to-cell communication in almost all animal tissues, are composed of channel-forming integral membrane proteins termed connexins. Most of them, particularly connexin43 (Cx43), the most ubiquitous connexin, the major connexin present in cardiac myocytes, are phosphoproteins. Connexin phosphorylation has been thought to regulate gap junctional protein trafficking, gap junction assembly, channel gating, and turnover. Some connexins, including Cx43, show mobility shifts in gel electrophoresis when cells are exposed to phosphorylating or dephosphorylating treatments. However, after exposure of rat cardiac myocytes to different uncoupling dephosphorylating agents such as H7 or butanedione monoxime, no modification in the Cx43 phosphorylation profile was generally observed. The lack of direct correlation between the inhibition of cell-to-cell communication and changes in the phosphorylation pattern of Cx43 or, conversely, modifications of the latter without modifications of the intercellular coupling degree, suggest that the functional state of junctional channels might rather be determined by regulatory proteins associated with Cx43. The modulation of the activity of junctional channels by protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation processes very likely requires (as for several other membrane channels) the formation of a multiprotein complex, where pore-forming subunits bind to auxiliary proteins (e.g. scaffolding proteins, enzymes, cytoskeleton elements) that play essential roles in channel localization and activity. Such regulatory proteins, behaving as targets for phosphorylation/dephosphorylation catalysers, might in particular control the open probability of junctional channels. A schematic illustration of the regulation of Cx43-made channels by protein phosphorylation involving a partner phosphoprotein is proposed.Presented at the Biophysical Society Meeting on Ion channels – from Biophysics to disorders, held in May 2003, Rennes, France 相似文献

N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) stimulation activates many downstream mechanisms involved in both cell survival and cell death. The manner in which the NMDAR regulates one of these pathways, the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38) pathway, is currently unknown. In the present study, we have defined a developmental-, concentration-, and time-dependent phosphorylation and subsequent dephosphorylation of p38. In cultured hippocampal neurons 7-8 days in vitro (DIV7-8), NMDAR stimulation leads to a concentration-dependent increase in p38 phosphorylation (phospho-p38). However, in more mature neurons (>DIV17) application of NMDA produces concentration-dependent effects, such that low concentrations result in sustained increases in phospho-p38 levels, and high concentrations dephosphorylate p38 within 5 min. Conantokin G, an antagonist of NR1/2A/2B and NR1/2B receptors, inhibits p38 phosphorylation, while NR1/2B-specific antagonists prevent the rapid dephosphorylation of p38 without affecting p38 activation. Furthermore, inhibition of calcineurin prevents the activation of p38, whereas inhibition of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) prevents the rapid dephosphorylation of p38. Our results support the presence of subtype-dependent pathways regulating p38 activation and deactivation: one involves NR1/2A/2B receptors activating calcineurin and resulting in p38 phosphorylation, and the other utilizes NR1/2B receptors binding to and activating PI3K and leading to the dephosphorylation of p38 in a manner involving both NR1/2A/2B receptor activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of NR2B. The ability of NMDAR subtype-specific mechanisms to regulate p38 has implications for NMDAR-mediated synaptic plasticity, gene regulation, and excitotoxicity. 相似文献

Unified postsynaptic mechanism of plasticity in the striatum, neocortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum

The unitary postsynaptic mechanism of plasticity in striatum, neocortex, hippocampus and cerebellum involves the LTP/LTD excitation as result of AMPA and NMDA receptor phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, while the LTP/LTD of inhibition is the result of the GABA receptor phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. It follows from this mechanism that when NMDA channels are closed, the determinant role in receptor phosphorylation is played by the PKG. When the NMDA channels are open, the determinant role in receptor phosphorylation is played by the PKC and CaMKII. 相似文献

Abstract: Microtubules and their associated proteins play a prominent role in many physiological and morphological aspects of brain function. Abnormal deposition of the microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs), MAP2 and γ , is a prominent aspect of Alzheimer's disease. MAP2 and γ are heat-stable phosphoproteins subject to high rates of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. The phosphorylation state of these proteins modulates their affinity for tubulin and thereby affects the structure of the neuronal cytoskeleton. The dinoflagellate toxin okadaic acid is a potent and specific inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A. In cultured rat cortical neurons and a human neuroblastoma cell line (MSN), okadaic acid induces increased phosphorylation of MAP2 and γ concomitant with early changes in the neuronal cytoskeleton and ultimately leads to cell death. These results suggest that the diminished rate of MAP2 and γ dephosphorylation affects the stability of the neuronal cytoskeleton. The effect of okadaic acid was not restricted to neurons. Astrocytes stained with antibodies to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) showed increased GFAP staining and changes in astrocyte morphology from a flat shape to a stellate appearance with long processes. 相似文献
