Timing-based LTP and LTD at vertical inputs to layer II/III pyramidal cells in rat barrel cortex 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
Feldman DE 《Neuron》2000,27(1):45-56
Experience-dependent plasticity in somatosensory (S1) and visual (V1) cortex involves rapid depression of responses to a deprived sensory input (a closed eye or a trimmed whisker). Such depression occurs first in layer II/III and may reflect plasticity at vertical inputs from layer IV to layer II/III pyramids. Here, I describe a timing-based, associative form of long-term potentiation and depression (LTP/LTD) at this synapse in S1. LTP occurred when excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) led single postsynaptic action potentials (APs) within a narrow temporal window, and LTD occurred when APs led EPSPs within a significantly broader window. This long LTD window is unusual among timing-based learning rules and causes EPSPs that are uncorrelated with postsynaptic APs to become depressed. This behavior suggests a simple model for depression of deprived sensory responses in S1 and V1. 相似文献

Protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) has been implicated in the control of long-term potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD) in rat hippocampal CA1 neurons. PP1 catalytic subunits associate with multiple postsynaptic regulatory subunits, but the PP1 complexes that control hippocampal LTP and LTD in the rat hippocampus remain unidentified. The neuron-specific actin-binding protein, neurabin-I, is enriched in dendritic spines, and tethers PP1 to actin-rich postsynaptic density to regulate morphology and maturation of spines. The present studies utilized Sindbis virus-mediated expression of wild-type and mutant neurabin-I polypeptides in organotypic cultures of rat hippocampal slices to investigate their role in synaptic plasticity. While wild-type neurabin-I elicited no change in basal synaptic transmission, it enhanced LTD and inhibited LTP in CA1 pyramidal neurons. By comparison, mutant neurabins, specifically those unable to bind PP1 or F-actin, decreased basal synaptic transmission, attenuated LTD and increased LTP in slice cultures. Biochemical and cell biological analyses suggested that, by mislocalizing synaptic PP1, the mutant neurabins impaired the functions of endogenous neurabin-PP1 complexes and modulated LTP and LTD. Together, these studies provided the first biochemical and physiological evidence that a postsynaptic actin-bound neurabin-I-PP1 complex regulates synaptic transmission and bidirectional changes in hippocampal plasticity. 相似文献

Long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) are widely accepted to be synaptic mechanisms involved in learning and memory. It remains uncertain, however, which particular activity rules are utilized by hippocampal neurons to induce LTP and LTD in behaving animals. Recent experiments in the dentate gyrus of freely moving rats revealed an unexpected pattern of LTP and LTD from high-frequency perforant path stimulation. While 400 Hz theta-burst stimulation (400-TBS) and 400 Hz delta-burst stimulation (400-DBS) elicited substantial LTP of the tetanized medial path input and, concurrently, LTD of the non-tetanized lateral path input, 100 Hz theta-burst stimulation (100-TBS, a normally efficient LTP protocol for in vitro preparations) produced only weak LTP and concurrent LTD. Here we show in a biophysically realistic compartmental granule cell model that this pattern of results can be accounted for by a voltage-based spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) rule combined with a relatively fast Bienenstock-Cooper-Munro (BCM)-like homeostatic metaplasticity rule, all on a background of ongoing spontaneous activity in the input fibers. Our results suggest that, at least for dentate granule cells, the interplay of STDP-BCM plasticity rules and ongoing pre- and postsynaptic background activity determines not only the degree of input-specific LTP elicited by various plasticity-inducing protocols, but also the degree of associated LTD in neighboring non-tetanized inputs, as generated by the ongoing constitutive activity at these synapses. 相似文献

In the brain, most fast excitatory synaptic transmission is mediated through L-glutamate acting on postsynaptic ionotropic
glutamate receptors. These receptors are of two kinds—the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA)/kainate
(non-NMDA) and theN-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which are thought to be colocalized onto the same postsynaptic elements. This excitatory transmission
can be modulated both upward and downward, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), respectively. Whether
the expression of LTP/LTD is pre-or postsynaptically located (or both) remains an enigma. This article will focus on what
postsynaptic modifications of the ionotropic glutamate receptors may possibly underly long-term potentiation/depression. It
will discuss the character of LTP/LTD with respect to the temporal characteristics and to the type of changes that appears
in the non-NMDA and NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic currents, and what constraints these findings put on the possible expression
mechanism(s) for LTP/LTD. It will be submitted that if a modification of the glutamate receptors does underly LTP/LTD, an
increase/decrease in the number of functional receptors is the most plausible alternative. This change in receptor number
will have to include a coordinated change of both the non-NMDA and the NMDA receptors. 相似文献

Ubiquitous forms of long-term potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD) are caused by enduring increases or decreases in neurotransmitter release. Such forms or presynaptic plasticity are equally observed at excitatory and inhibitory synapses and the list of locations expressing presynaptic LTP and LTD continues to grow. In addition to the mechanistically distinct forms of postsynaptic plasticity, presynaptic plasticity offers a powerful means to modify neural circuits. A wide range of induction mechanisms has been identified, some of which occur entirely in the presynaptic terminal, whereas others require retrograde signaling from the postsynaptic to presynaptic terminals. In spite of this diversity of induction mechanisms, some common induction rules can be identified across synapses. Although the precise molecular mechanism underlying long-term changes in transmitter release in most cases remains unclear, increasing evidence indicates that presynaptic LTP and LTD can occur in vivo and likely mediate some forms of learning.At several excitatory and inhibitory synapses, neuronal activity can trigger enduring increases or decreases in neurotransmitter release, thereby producing long-term potentiation (LTP) or long-term depression (LTD) of synaptic strength, respectively. In the last decade, many studies have revealed that these forms of plasticity are ubiquitously expressed in the mammalian brain, and accumulating evidence indicates that they may underlie behavioral adaptations occurring in vivo. These studies have also uncovered a wide range of induction mechanisms, which converge on the presynaptic terminal where an enduring modification in the neurotransmitter release process takes place. Interestingly, presynaptic forms of LTP/LTD can coexist with classical forms of postsynaptic plasticity. Such diversity expands the dynamic range and repertoire by which neurons modify their synaptic connections. This review discusses mechanistic aspects of presynaptic LTP and LTD at both excitatory and inhibitory synapses in the mammalian brain, with an emphasis on recent findings. 相似文献

The dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus express numerous types of voltage-gated ion channel, but the distributions or densities of many of these channels are very non-uniform. Sodium channels in the dendrites are responsible for action potential (AP) propagation from the axon into the dendrites (back-propagation); calcium channels are responsible for local changes in dendritic calcium concentrations following back-propagating APs and synaptic potentials; and potassium channels help regulate overall dendritic excitability. Several lines of evidence are presented here to suggest that back-propagating APs, when coincident with excitatory synaptic input, can lead to the induction of either long-term depression (LTD) or long-term potentiation (LTP). The induction of LTD or LTP is correlated with the magnitude of the rise in intracellular calcium. When brief bursts of synaptic potentials are paired with postsynaptic APs in a theta-burst pairing paradigm, the induction of LTP is dependent on the invasion of the AP into the dendritic tree. The amplitude of the AP in the dendrites is dependent, in part, on the activity of a transient, A-type potassium channel that is expressed at high density in the dendrites and correlates with the induction of the LTP. Furthermore, during the expression phase of the LTP, there are local changes in dendritic excitability that may result from modulation of the functioning of this transient potassium channel. The results support the view that the active properties of dendrites play important roles in synaptic integration and synaptic plasticity of these neurons. 相似文献

Bidirectional changes in spatial dendritic integration accompanying long-term synaptic modifications
Information processing in the neuron requires spatial summation of synaptic inputs at the dendrite. In CA1 pyramidal neurons of the hippocampus, a brief period of correlated pre- and postsynaptic activity, which induces long-term potentiation (LTP) or long-term depression (LTD), results in a persistent increase or decrease in the linearity of spatial summation, respectively. Such bidirectional modification of the summation property is specific to the modified input and reflects localized dendritic changes involving I(h) channels and NMDA receptors. Thus, correlated pre- and postsynaptic activity alters not only the strength of the activated input but also its dendritic integration with other inputs. 相似文献

Persistent, use-dependent modulation of synaptic strength has been demonstrated for fast synaptic transmission mediated by glutamate and has been hypothesized to underlie persistent behavioral changes ranging from memory to addiction. Glutamate released at synapses is sequestered by the action of excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) in glia and postsynaptic neurons. So, the efficacy of glutamate transporter function is crucial for regulating glutamate spillover to adjacent presynaptic and postsynaptic receptors and the consequent induction of plastic or excitotoxic processes. Here, we report that tetanic stimulation of cerebellar climbing fiber-Purkinje cell synapses results in long-term potentiation (LTP) of a climbing fiber-evoked glutamate transporter current recorded in Purkinje cells. This LTP is postsynaptically expressed and requires activation of an mGluR1/PKC cascade. Together with a simultaneously induced long-term depression (LTD) of postsynaptic AMPA receptors, this might reflect an integrated antiexcitotoxic cellular response to strong climbing fiber synaptic activation, as occurs following an ischemic episode. 相似文献

Near coincidental pre- and postsynaptic action potentials induce associative long-term potentiation (LTP) or long-term depression (LTD), depending on the order of their timing. Here, we show that in visual cortex the rules of this spike-timing-dependent plasticity are not rigid, but shaped by neuromodulator receptors coupled to adenylyl cyclase (AC) and phospholipase C (PLC) signaling cascades. Activation of the AC and PLC cascades results in phosphorylation of postsynaptic glutamate receptors at sites that serve as specific "tags" for LTP and LTD. As a consequence, the outcome (i.e., whether LTP or LTD) of a given pattern of pre- and postsynaptic firing depends not only on the order of the timing, but also on the relative activation of neuromodulator receptors coupled to AC and PLC. These findings indicate that cholinergic and adrenergic neuromodulation associated with the behavioral state of the animal can control the gating and the polarity of cortical plasticity. 相似文献

Coincident pre- and postsynaptic activity generates long-term potentiation (LTP), a possible cellular model of learning and memory. LTP has two components: (1) an increase in the excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP), and (2) an increase in the ability of the EPSP to generate a spike (E-S coupling of LTP). We have used pharmacological and genetic approaches to address the molecular nature of E-S coupling in CA1 pyramidal neurons. Blockade of the Ca2+-sensitive phosphatase, calcineurin, prevents induction of E-S coupling without interfering with LTP of the EPSP. Calcineurin produces its effect on E-S coupling by inducing a long-lasting depression (LTD) of the GABA(A)-mediated inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs). This LTD of the IPSP was prevented by blockade of NMDA receptors. Thus, the tetanus that elicits NMDA-dependent LTP mediates a coordinately regulated double function. It produces LTP of the EPSP and, concomitantly, LTD of the IPSP that leads to enhancement of E-S coupling. 相似文献

Mechanisms and significance of spike-timing dependent plasticity 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Hebb's original postulate left two important issues unaddressed: (i) what is the effective time window between pre- and postsynaptic activity that will result in potentiation? and (ii) what is the learning rule that underlies decreases in synaptic strength? While research over the past 2 decades has addressed these questions, several studies within the past 5 years have shown that synapses undergo long-term depression (LTD) or long-term potentiation (LTP) depending on the order of activity in the pre- and postsynaptic cells. This process has been referred to as spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP). Here we discuss the experimental data on STDP, and develop models of the mechanisms that may underlie it. Specifically, we examine whether the standard model of LTP and LTD in which high and low levels of Ca(2+) produce LTP and LTD, respectively, can also account for STDP. We conclude that the standard model can account for a type of STDP in which, counterintuitively, LTD will be observed at some intervals in which the presynaptic cell fires before the postsynaptic cell. This form of STDP will also be sensitive to parameters such as the presence of an after depolarization following an action potential. Indeed, the sensitivity of this type of STDP to experimental parameters suggests that it may not play an important physiological role in vivo. We suggest that more robust forms of STDP, which do not exhibit LTD at pre-before-post intervals, are not accounted for by the standard model, and are likely to rely on a second coincidence detector in addition to the NMDA receptor. 相似文献

Protracted presynaptic activity can induce long-term potentiation (LTP) or long-term depression (LTD) of the synaptic strength. However, virtually all the experiments testing how LTP and LTD depend on the conditioning input are carried out with trains of stimuli at constant frequencies, whereas neurons in vivo most likely experience a stochastic variation of interstimulus intervals. We used a computational model of synaptic transmission to test if and to what extent the stochastic fluctuations of an input signal could alter the probability to change the state of a synapse. We found that, even if the mean stimulation frequency was maintained constant, the probability to induce LTD and LTP could be a function of the temporal variation of the input activity. This mechanism, which depends only on the statistical properties of the input and not on the onset of additional biochemical mechanisms, is not usually considered in the experiments, but it could have an important role to determine the amount of LTP/LTD induction in vivo. In response to a change in the distribution of the interstimulus intervals, as measured by the coefficient of variation, a synapse could be easily adapted to inputs that might require immediate attention, with a shift of the input thresholds required to elicit LTD or LTP, which are restored to their initial conditions as soon as the input pattern returns to the original temporal distribution. 相似文献

A hypothetic mechanism explaining the influence of various neuromodulators and modifiable disynaptic inhibition on the long-term potentiation and depression (LTP and LTD) of excitatory inputs to granule and pyramidal hippocampal cells is proposed. According to this mechanism, facilitation of the LTD/LTP of excitatory inputs to an inhibitory interneuron caused by the action of a neuromodulator on a receptor bound with Gi/0/(Gs or Gq/11) protein can reduce/augment the GABA release, weaken/intensify the target cell inhibition, and promote the induction of the LTP/LTD of excitatory inputs to this cell. In the absence of the inhibition, the same neuromodulator would promote the LTD/LTP induction in the target cell by activating the same receptor types. The resulting effect of a neuromodulator on a target cell depends on the ratio between the "strengths" of its excitatory and inhibitory inputs, on the presence of receptors of the same or different types at the interneuron and the target cell, and on the neuromodulator concentration due to its different affinity for receptors, interaction with which provide its influence on postsynaptic processes in opposite directions. The consequences of suggested mechanism are in agreement with the known experimental data. 相似文献

The brain is able to change the synaptic strength in response to stimuli that leave a memory trace. Long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) are forms of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity proposed to underlie memory. The induction of LTP appears mediated by glutamate acting on AMPA and then on NMDA receptors. Cholinergic muscarinic agonists facilitate learning and memory. Acetylcholine depolarizes pyramidal neurons, reduces inhibition, upregulates NMDA channels and activates the phosphoinositide cascade. Postsynaptic Ca2+ rises and stimulates Ca-dependent PK, promoting synaptic changes. Electroencephalographic desynchronization and hippocampal theta rhythm are related to learning and memory, are inducible by Cholinergic agonists and elicited by hippocampal Cholinergic terminals. Their loss results in memory deficits. Hence, Cholinergic pathways may act synergically with glutamatergic transmission, regulating and leading to synaptic plasticity. The stimulation that induces plasticity in vivo has not been established. The patterns for LTP/LTD induction in vitro may be due to the loss of ascending Cholinergic inputs. As a rat explores pyramidal cells fire bursts that could be relevant to plasticity. 相似文献

Synaptic strength is modified by the temporal coincidence of synaptic inputs without back-propagating action potentials (BPAPs)
in CA1 pyramidal neurons. In order to clarify the interactive mechanisms of associative long-term potentiation (LTP) without
BPAPs, local paired stimuli were applied to the dendrites using high-speed laser uncaging stimulation equipment. When the
spatial distance between the paired stimuli was <10 micrometer, nonlinear amplification in excitatory postsynaptic potential
summation was observed. In the time window from −20 to 20 ms, supralinear amplification was observed. Supralinear amplification
was modulated by antagonist of voltage-gated Na+/Ca2+ channels and NMDA-type glutamate receptors. These results are closely related to the spatiotemporal-characteristics of associative
LTP without BPAPs. This study proposes an essential aspect of dendritic information processing. 相似文献

The hippocampus plays a central role in memory formation in the mammalian brain. Its ability to encode information is thought to depend on the plasticity of synaptic connections between neurons. In the pyramidal neurons constituting the primary hippocampal output to the cortex, located in area CA1, firing of presynaptic CA3 pyramidal neurons produces monosynaptic excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) followed rapidly by feedforward (disynaptic) inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs). Long-term potentiation (LTP) of the monosynaptic glutamatergic inputs has become the leading model of synaptic plasticity, in part due to its dependence on NMDA receptors (NMDARs), required for spatial and temporal learning in intact animals. Using whole-cell recording in hippocampal slices from adult rats, we find that the efficacy of synaptic transmission from CA3 to CA1 can be enhanced without the induction of classic LTP at the glutamatergic inputs. Taking care not to directly stimulate inhibitory fibers, we show that the induction of GABAergic plasticity at feedforward inhibitory inputs results in the reduced shunting of excitatory currents, producing a long-term increase in the amplitude of Schaffer collateral-mediated postsynaptic potentials. Like classic LTP, disinhibition-mediated LTP requires NMDAR activation, suggesting a role in types of learning and memory attributed primarily to the former and raising the possibility of a previously unrecognized target for therapeutic intervention in disorders linked to memory deficits, as well as a potentially overlooked site of LTP expression in other areas of the brain. 相似文献

Changes in synaptic efficacies need to be long-lasting in order to serve as a substrate for memory. Experimentally, synaptic plasticity exhibits phases covering the induction of long-term potentiation and depression (LTP/LTD) during the early phase of synaptic plasticity, the setting of synaptic tags, a trigger process for protein synthesis, and a slow transition leading to synaptic consolidation during the late phase of synaptic plasticity. We present a mathematical model that describes these different phases of synaptic plasticity. The model explains a large body of experimental data on synaptic tagging and capture, cross-tagging, and the late phases of LTP and LTD. Moreover, the model accounts for the dependence of LTP and LTD induction on voltage and presynaptic stimulation frequency. The stabilization of potentiated synapses during the transition from early to late LTP occurs by protein synthesis dynamics that are shared by groups of synapses. The functional consequence of this shared process is that previously stabilized patterns of strong or weak synapses onto the same postsynaptic neuron are well protected against later changes induced by LTP/LTD protocols at individual synapses. 相似文献

Stress is a biological, significant factor shown to influence hippocampal synaptic plasticity and cognitive functions. Although
numerous studies have reported that stress produces a suppression in long-term potentiation (LTP; a putative synaptic mechanism
underlying learning and memory), little is known about the mechanism by which this occurs. Because the effects of stress on
LTP and its converse process, long-term depression (LTD), parallel the changes in synapticity that occur following the establishment
of LTP with tetanic stimulation (i.e., occluding LTP and enhancing LTD induction), it has been proposed that stress affects
subsequent hippocampal plasticity by sharing the same molecular machinery required to support LTP. This article summarizes
recent findings from ours and other laboratories to assess this view and discusses relevant hypotheses in the study of stress-related
modifications of synaptic plasticity. 相似文献

Information arriving at a neuron via anatomically defined pathways undergoes spatial and temporal encoding. A proposed mechanism by which temporally and spatially segregated information is encoded at the cellular level is based on the interactive properties of synapses located within and across functional dendritic compartments. We examined cooperative and interfering interactions between long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD), two forms of synaptic plasticity thought to be key in the encoding of information in the brain. Two approaches were used in CA1 pyramidal neurons of the mouse hippocampus: (1) induction of LTP and LTD in two separate synaptic pathways within the same apical dendritic compartment and across the basal and apical dendritic compartments; (2) induction of LTP and LTD separated by various time intervals (0-90 min). Expression of LTP/LTD interactions was spatially and temporally regulated. While they were largely restricted within the same dendritic compartment (compartmentalized), the nature of the interaction (cooperation or interference) depended on the time interval between inductions. New protein synthesis was found to regulate the expression of the LTP/LTD interference. We speculate that mechanisms for compartmentalization and protein synthesis confer the spatial and temporal modulation by which neurons encode multiplex information in plastic synapses. 相似文献

Input-specific long-term potentiation (LTP) in afferent inputs to the amygdala serves an essential function in the acquisition of fear memory. Factors underlying input specificity of synaptic modifications implicated in information transfer in fear conditioning pathways remain unclear. Here we show that the strength of naive synapses in two auditory inputs converging on a single neuron in the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA) is only modified when a postsynaptic action potential closely follows a synaptic response. The stronger inhibitory drive in thalamic pathway, as compared with cortical input, hampers the induction of LTP at thalamo-amygdala synapses, contributing to the spatial specificity of LTP in convergent inputs. These results indicate that spike timing-dependent synaptic plasticity in afferent projections to the LA is both temporarily and spatially asymmetric, thus providing a mechanism for the conditioned stimulus discrimination during fear behavior. 相似文献
