Annotation description:To study synaptic plasticity, the authors correlated pre- and postsynaptic activation using a train of stimuli (16s, 5 Hz) delivered to one Schaffer collateral/commissural input that was paired with a postsynaptic injection of a spike-inducing depolarizing current. Two conditions were studied: (1) when the onset of EPSPs was about 20 ms after postsynaptic spiking, the EPSC amplitude of both stimulated (homosynaptic) and non-stimulated (heterosynaptic) inputs showed a persistent reduction following the correlated activation (LTD protocol) and (2) when the onset of EPSPs was about 5 ms before postsynaptic spiking, the EPSC amplitude of the homosynaptic input showed a persistent increase in amplitude whereas the one of the heterosynaptic input was not affected (LTP protocol).

Functional blockade of IP3R1 by postsynaptic loading of a monoclonal antibody against IP3R1 or genetic deletion of IP3R1 using IP3R1-deficient mice impacted both conditions: when studying LTD (1) lacking IP3R1 function led to a conversion of homosynaptic LTD to LTP and eliminated heterosynaptic LTD. When studying LTP (2) a significant enhancement of homosynaptic LTP was observed, resulting in even higher potentiation. Therefore, IP3R1 presents a role in regulating Ca2+ release from internal stores in the postsynaptic neuron, which can control polarity and magnitude of postsynaptic plasticity.
