Newest firstTiming-dependent long-term depression (tLTD) is a form of spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) that has been attributed to presynaptic NMDA and CB1 receptors at synapses between layer 5 (L5) pyramidal cells (PCs) in visual cortex. Here, we asked whether astrocytes, known for gliotransmission and tripartite synapse formation, are also required. Using quadruple whole-cell recordings in acute slices from C57BL/6…
Open article record in new tab ↗Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) signaling plays a key role in learning and memory. IGF-I increases the spiking and induces synaptic plasticity in the mice barrel cortex (Noriega-Prieto et al., 2021), favoring the induction of the long-term potentiation (LTP) by Spike Timing-Dependent Protocols (STDP) (Noriega-Prieto et al., 2021). Here, we studied whether these IGF-I effects depend on endocannabinoids (eCBs)…
Spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) is a Hebbian learning rule important for synaptic refinement during development and for learning and memory in the adult. Given the importance of the hippocampus in memory, surprisingly little is known about the mechanisms and functions of hippocampal STDP. In the present work, we investigated the requirements for induction of hippocampal spike timing-dependent long-term po…
