    Abstract Serotonin (5-HT) imbalances in the developing prefrontal cortex (PFC) are linked to long-term behavioral deficits. However, the synaptic mechanisms underlying 5-HT-mediated PFC development are unknown. We found that chemogenetic suppression and enhancement of 5-HT release in the PFC during the first two postnatal weeks decreased and increased the density and strength of excitatory spine synapses, respectively, on prefrontal layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in mice. 5-HT release on single spines induced structural and functional long-term potentiation (LTP), requiring both 5-HT2A and 5-HT7 receptor signals, in a glutamatergic activity-independent manner. Notably, LTP-inducing 5-HT stimuli increased the long-term survival of newly formed spines ( ≥ 6 h) via 5-HT7 Gα

    Abstract Bidirectional trans-synaptic signaling is essential for the formation, maturation, and plasticity of synaptic connections. Synaptic cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are prime drivers in shaping the identities of trans-synaptic signaling pathways. A series of recent studies provide evidence that diverse presynaptic cell adhesion proteins dictate the regulation of specific synaptic properties in postsynaptic neurons. Focusing on mammalian synaptic CAMs, this article outlines several exemplary cases supporting this notion and highlights how these trans-synaptic signaling pathways collectively contribute to the specificity and diversity of neural circuit architecture.

    Abstract In the brain, dendrites of pyramidal neurons contain intermingled excitatory and inhibitory synapses. Synaptic connections dynamically change during development and throughout our lifetime, yet the brain can properly maintain an optimal ratio of synaptic excitation to inhibition. Despite recent advances in our understanding of the formation and refinement of excitatory glutamatergic synapses, little is known about signals that regulate inhibitory GABAergic synapse development. In this review, we discuss previous and recent insights in the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie GABAergic synapse formation and plasticity, with a specific focus on the key roles of synaptic activity and postsynaptic membrane molecules.

    Abstract Shrinkage and loss of dendritic spines are vital components of the neuronal plasticity that supports learning. To investigate the mechanisms of spine shrinkage and loss, Oh and colleagues established a two-photon glutamate uncaging protocol that reliably induces input-specific spine shrinkage on dendrites of rodent hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. Here, we provide a detailed description of that protocol and also an optimized version that can be used to induce input- and synapse-specific shrinkage of dendritic spines at physiological Ca

    Abstract Stress adversely affects an array of cognitive functions. Although stress-related disorders are often addressed in adulthood, far less is known about how early-life stress (ELS) affects the developing brain in early postnatal periods. Here we show that ELS, induced by maternal separation, leads to synaptic alteration of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of mice. We find that layer 2/3 neurons show increased excitatory synapse numbers following ELS and that this is accompanied by hyperexcitability of PFC-projecting dopamine (DA) neurons in the ventral tegmental area. Notably, excitatory synaptic change requires local signaling through DA D2 receptors. In vivo pharmacological treatment with a D2 receptor agonist in the PFC of control mice mimics the effects of ELS on synaptic alterations. Our findings reveal a neuromodulatory mechanism underlying ELS-induced PFC dysfunction, and this mechanism may facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of how ELS leads to mental disorders.

    Abstract Competition between synapses contributes to activity-dependent refinement of the nervous system during development. Does local competition between neighboring synapses drive circuit remodeling during experience-dependent plasticity in the cerebral cortex? Here, we examined the role of activity-mediated competitive interactions in regulating dendritic spine structure and function on hippocampal CA1 neurons. We found that high-frequency glutamatergic stimulation at individual spines, which leads to input-specific synaptic potentiation, induces shrinkage and weakening of nearby unstimulated synapses. This heterosynaptic plasticity requires potentiation of multiple neighboring spines, suggesting that a local threshold of neural activity exists beyond which inactive synapses are punished. Notably, inhibition of calcineurin, IP3Rs, or group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) blocked heterosynaptic shrinkage without blocking structural potentiation, and inhibition of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) blocked structural potentiation without blocking heterosynaptic shrinkage. Our results support a model in which activity-induced shrinkage signal, and not competition for limited structural resources, drives heterosynaptic structural and functional depression during neural circuit refinement.

    Abstract Balanced synaptic inhibition, controlled by multiple synaptic adhesion proteins, is critical for proper brain function. MDGA1 (meprin, A-5 protein, and receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase mu [MAM] domain-containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor protein 1) suppresses synaptic inhibition in mammalian neurons, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying MDGA1-mediated negative regulation of GABAergic synapses remain unresolved. Here, we show that the MDGA1 MAM domain directly interacts with the extension domain of amyloid precursor protein (APP). Strikingly, MDGA1-mediated synaptic disinhibition requires the MDGA1 MAM domain and is prominent at distal dendrites of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. Down-regulation of APP in presynaptic GABAergic interneurons specifically suppressed GABAergic, but not glutamatergic, synaptic transmission strength and inputs onto both the somatic and dendritic compartments of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. Moreover, APP deletion manifested differential effects in somatostatin- and parvalbumin-positive interneurons in the hippocampal CA1, resulting in distinct alterations in inhibitory synapse numbers, transmission, and excitability. The infusion of MDGA1 MAM protein mimicked postsynaptic MDGA1 gain-of-function phenotypes that involve the presence of presynaptic APP. The overexpression of MDGA1 wild type or MAM, but not MAM-deleted MDGA1, in the hippocampal CA1 impaired novel object-recognition memory in mice. Thus, our results establish unique roles of APP-MDGA1 complexes in hippocampal neural circuits, providing unprecedented insight into
