4The gill-withdrawal reflex in aplysia can be sensitized (potentiated) when tail and mantle shelf are stimulated
- Atogether
- Bseparately
5Short term potentiation in aplysia
An action potential arrives through the sensory neuron and [blank_start]Ca2+[blank_end] influx leads to transmitter release into the synaptic cleft.
Neurotransmitters from the interneuron lead to the release of [blank_start]Protein kinase A[blank_end] (PKA) within the presynaptic sensory neuron.
PKA does three things:
(a) K+ channels are [blank_start]inhibited[blank_end] and the AP stays longer
(b) Synaptic vesicles are [blank_start]phosphorelated[blank_end]
(c) The [blank_start]exocytosis[blank_end] of the synaptic vesicles is sensitized.
Additionally, [blank_start]calmodulin[blank_end] reacts on Ca2+ and amplifies the whole mehanism.- ACa2+

8In the hippocampus neurons from the dentate region [blank_start]induce[blank_end] LTP. This happens via the [blank_start]mossy fiber pathway[blank_end] (dentate region to CA3).
Neurons from the other hemisphere [blank_start]do not induce[blank_end] LTP. Their signals travel via the [blank_start]commissural pathway[blank_end].- Ainduce

- Acan happen after one signal
- Bneeds multiple signals to be activated
11Early phase of long-term potentiation:
During normal, low-frequency synaptic transmission Na+ and K+ flow only through [blank_start]AMPA[blank_end] receptors.
During a high or repeated depolarization of the postsynaptic membrane the [blank_start]Mg2+[blank_end] blockade of the [blank_start]NMDA[blank_end] receptors is released and K+, Na+ and Ca2+ flow through these channels.
This leads to an electric-independent [blank_start]Ca2+[blank_end] signal.- AAMPA
- BNMDA
- CMg2+
- DK+
- ECa2+
- FNMDA
- GAMPA
- HCa2+

12During the late phase of LTP
- Athe number of synapses increases.

- Cthe increase of synapses can be measured, because we know that each synapse transmits a signal of 4 pA.
- Dthe increase of synapses can be measured, because we know that each synapse transmits a signal of 8 pA.

17Since there are so many different neuronal phenotypes that all serve different purposes, the [blank_start]morphology[blank_end] of a neuron is very important when it comes to STP and LTP.
- Amorphology
18While the dendrites of neurons are [blank_start]relatively stable[blank_end], filopodia are [blank_start]dynamic[blank_end] and can extend and retract.
After a contact to [blank_start]a neighbouring axon[blank_end], the filopodium [blank_start]becomes a dendritic spine[blank_end].
The process of filopodia growth is triggered by electrical activity and the activation of [blank_start]NMDA[blank_end] receptors.- Arelatively stable

20The more mature the neuron, the [blank_start]better[blank_end] the LTP.
The more mature the neuron, the [blank_start]less dense[blank_end] are its protrusions (filopodia).- Abetter
- Bworse
- Cless dense

21Molecules like SynCAM that initiate intracellular synaptogenesis programs are called [blank_start]extracellular recognition molecules[blank_end].
- Aextracellular recognition molecules
- Bintracellular recognition molecules

22Developing neurons have [blank_start]low[blank_end] potential for synaptic plasticity because [blank_start]stable[blank_end] synapses are required for proper synapse function.

23Attached to the postsynaptic membrane is [blank_start]PSD[blank_end] ([blank_start]postsynaptic density[blank_end]).

This is done with [blank_start]AMPA[blank_end] receptors.- AAMPA
- BNMDA
27Three models of the formation of new dendritic spines
- ANew spines emerge directly.
- BLTP induction leads to generation of new spines via filopodia.
- CNew spines originate via the division of existing spines.
28[blank_start]NMDA[blank_end] receptor properties provide the biological correlate for Hebb's postulate.
[blank_start]Presynaptic[blank_end] glutamate release depolarizes the postsynaptic neuron via [blank_start]AMPA[blank_end] receptors.
After removal of the [blank_start]Mg2+[blank_end] block by depolarization glutamate causes [blank_start]Ca2+[blank_end] influx via NMDA receptors.
Ca2+-dependent [blank_start]postsynaptic[blank_end] mechanisms lead then to the change in synaptic efficacy.

30A very important role in LTP play [blank_start]theta[blank_end]-rhythms.
The [blank_start]formatio reticularis[blank_end] activates the [blank_start]septum[blank_end] with a rhythm of [blank_start]10-30[blank_end] Hz. The rhythm is received by [blank_start]granule cells[blank_end] and [blank_start]CA1[blank_end] neurons in the [blank_start]hippocampus[blank_end].

32A kind of backpropagation within the cells happens when an AP travels from the cell body back to the dendrites. This is called [blank_start]dendritic action potential[blank_end].
- Adendritic action potential
33[blank_start]Single[blank_end] synaptic contacts can lead to LTP or LTD processes triggering multiple neuronal circuit processes.

35In what respect are dendritic action potentials different to APs in the axon?
- ADendrites are passive and the signal is attenuated.
- BThey do not differ, a dAP is created by the influx of Na+ ions through Na+-channels.
- CAdditional K+ channels make the dendritic membrane much less excitable than the axonal membrane and there is an active reduction of the dAP amplitude along the dendrite.
36What are these different types of inputs called?

- Abasal
- Bproximal
- Cdistal
37There can be different types of STDP even within one neuron, depending on the location, e.g. further down the axon or at the dendrites.

41Short-term habituation in aplysia's gill withdrawal reflex are due to [blank_start]reduced transmitter release[blank_end].

42Short-term potentiation in aplysia
Release of [blank_start]serotonin[blank_end] of the facilitating interneuron leads to activation of [blank_start]adenylyl cyclase[blank_end], the production of [blank_start]cAMP[blank_end] and release of inhibition on [blank_start]PKA[blank_end].
PKA [blank_start]blocks[blank_end] K+ channels which leads to a longer action potential.
PKA also [blank_start]increases[blank_end] the exocytosis of neurotransmitters and [blank_start]opens[blank_end] further Ca2+ channels.
An amplifying mechanism is provided by [blank_start]calmodulin[blank_end] which activates more adenylyl cyclase.- Acalmodulin

44NMDA receptors work as a coincidence detector in LTP.
The two signals that must be present are:
- [blank_start]depolarization[blank_end] of the postsynaptic cell

- Bglutamate
45SynCAM is expressed in the [blank_start]dendritic[blank_end] cell.
It is an extracellular recognition molecule, meaning that it [blank_start]sticks out of the membrane[blank_end].- Adendritic
- Bpresynaptic
- Csticks out of the membrane
- Dfloats around in the synaptic cleft
46In the early phase of LTP on the presynaptic site [blank_start]more[blank_end] neurotransmitters are released and on the postsynaptic site new [blank_start]AMPA[blank_end] receptors are brought to the membrane.
- Amore
- Bless
- CAMPA
- DNMDA
47During the late phase of LTP new synapses are grown via [blank_start]CREB[blank_end]-mediated gene expression.
