nervous system
• the number of docked vesicles and synaptic density is lower in the synapses of the stratum radiatum of the hippocampal CA1 region, however the total number of synaptic vesicles in the presynaptic terminals is normal
• size of the readily releasable vesicle pool in glutamatergic and GABAergic synapses of neurons is 61% and 30% that of wild-type, respectively
|
• at GABAergic synapses, synaptic vesicles in the reluctant component are greater in mutant neurons, with no difference in vesicle recycling rate
• reduction in the number of spontaneous vesicles in the total readily releasable vesicle pool
|
• at glutamatergic synapses, the vesicle recycling rate is greater than in wild-type, with no difference in effective pool size
|
• reduction in the frequency of spontaneous neurotransmitter release at glutamatergic and GABAergic synapses
|
• the mean frequency of GABA(A) receptor-mediated spontaneous miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs) is lower in neurons indicating a reduction in the frequency of spontaneous neurotransmitter release at GABAergic synapses
|
• the mean frequency of AMPA receptor-mediated spontaneous miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) are lower in neurons indicating a reduction in the frequency of spontaneous neurotransmitter release at glutamatergic synapses
|
• the mean frequency of AMPA receptor-mediated spontaneous miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) are lower in neurons indicating a reduction in the frequency of spontaneous neurotransmitter release at glutamatergic synapses
|
• the mean frequency of GABA(A) receptor-mediated spontaneous miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs) is lower in neurons indicating a reduction in the frequency of spontaneous neurotransmitter release at GABAergic synapses
|
• mice show a higher paired-pulse ratio of evoked excitatory synaptic current responses (eEPSCs)
• neurons show initial facilitation until approximately 40 stimuli, followed by overall reduced depression relative to wild-type neurons during a 20 Hz train
• mice show an increase in the paired-pulse ratio of evoked inhibitory synaptic responses (eIPSCs)
• at a 20 Hz stimulatory train, the early rapid depression is weaker in mutant neurons than in wild-type neurons
