Neuronal Depolarization Drives Increased Dopamine Synaptic Vesicle Loading via VGLUT

Brian Donal McCabe

The ability of presynaptic dopamine terminals to tune neurotransmitter release to meet the demands of neuronal activity is critical to neurotransmission. Although vesicle content has been assumed to be static, in vitro data increasingly suggest that cell a ...

Predicting non-linear dynamics by stable local learning in a recurrent spiking neural network

Wulfram Gerstner, Aditya Gilra

The brain needs to predict how the body reacts to motor commands, but how a network of spiking neurons can learn non-linear body dynamics using local, online and stable learning rules is unclear. Here, we present a supervised learning scheme for the feedfo ...

Nano Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry Imaging of Dopamine Distribution Across Nanometer Vesicles

Anders Meibom

We report an approach to spatially resolve the content across nanometer neuroendocrine vesicles in nerve-like cells by correlating super high-resolution mass spectrometry imaging, NanoSIMS, with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, intracel ...

Neuromodulated-Spike-Timing-Dependent Pasticity, and Theory of Three-Factor Learning Rules

Wulfram Gerstner, Nicolas Frémaux

Classical Hebbian learning puts the emphasis on joint pre- and postsynaptic activity, but neglects the potential role of neuromodulators. Since neuromodulators convey information about novelty or reward, the influence of neuromodulators on synaptic plastic ...

Lactate release from astrocytes to neurons contributes to cocaine memory formation

Pierre Magistretti

The identification of neural substrates underlying the long lasting debilitating impact of drug cues is critical for developing novel therapeutic tools. Metabolic coupling has long been considered a key mechanism through which astrocytes and neurons active ...

The Structure of the Mouse Serotonin 5-HT3 Receptor in Lipid Vesicles

Horst Arthur Vogel, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Cédric Deluz, Luigino Grasso, Ghérici Hassaïne

The function of membrane proteins is best understood if their structure in the lipid membrane is known. Here, we determined the structure of the mouse serotonin 5-HT3 receptor inserted in lipid bilayers to a resolution of 12 Å without stabilizing antibodie ...

An Alien Divalent Ion Reveals a Major Role for Ca2+ Buffering in Controlling Slow Transmitter Release

Ralf Schneggenburger, Daniel Keller, Olexiy Kochubey

Ca2+-dependent transmitter release occurs in a fast and in a slow phase, but the differential roles of Ca2+ buffers and Ca2+ sensors in shaping release kinetics are still controversial. Replacing extracellular Ca2+ by Sr2+ causes decreased fast release but ...

Changing the responses of cortical neurons from sub- to suprathreshold using single spikes in vivo

Wulfram Gerstner

Action Potential (APs) patterns of sensory cortex neurons encode a variety of stimulus features, but how can a neuron change the feature to which it responds? Here, we show that in vivo a spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) protocol-consisting of pair ...

Matched Pre- and Post-Synaptic Changes Underlie Synaptic Plasticity over Long Time Scales

Henry Markram, Jean-Vincent Le Bé

Modifications of synaptic efficacies are considered essential for learning and memory. However, it is not known how the underlying functional components of synaptic transmission change over long time scales. To address this question, we studied cortical sy ...

Developmental expression of Synaptotagmin isoforms in single calyx of Held-generating neurons

Ralf Schneggenburger, Olexiy Kochubey, Yunyun Han, Le Xiao, Heather Mary Elizabeth Murray

The large glutamatergic calyx of Held synapse in the auditory brainstem has become a powerful model for studying transmitter release mechanisms, but the molecular bases of presynaptic function at this synapse are not well known. Here, we have used single-c ...

MicroPET imaging of 5-HT1A receptors in rat brain: a test-retest [F-18]MPPF study

Purpose Earlier studies have shown that positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with the radioligand [F-18] MPPF allows for measuring the binding potential of serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) (5-HT1A) receptors in different regions of animal and human ...

A limited contribution of Ca2+ current facilitation to paired-pulse facilitation of transmitter release at the rat calyx of Held

Ralf Schneggenburger, Martin Guillermo Mueller

Recent studies have suggested that transmitter release facilitation at synapses is largely mediated by presynaptic Ca2+ current facilitation, but the exact contribution of Ca2+ current facilitation has not been determined quantitatively. Here, we determine ...

Wlds-mediated protection of dopaminergic fibers in an animal model of Parkinson disease

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider

Parkinson disease (PD) is characterized by the progressive degeneration of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons projecting to the striatum. Since the deficit in striatal dopamine is the main cause of PD symptoms, it appears critical to preserve axon termi ...
