Activity-dependent scaling of quantal amplitude in neocortical neurons
Abstract
Information is stored in neural circuits through long-lasting changes in synaptic strengths. Most studies of information storage have focused on mechanisms such as long-term potentiation and depression (LTP and LTD), in which synaptic strengths change in a synapse-specific manner. In contrast, little attention has been paid to mechanisms that regulate the total synaptic strength of a neuron. Here we describe a new form of synaptic plasticity that increases or decreases the strength of all of a neuron's synaptic inputs as a function of activity. Chronic blockade of cortical culture activity increased the amplitude of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) without changing their kinetics. Conversely, blocking GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)-mediated inhibition initially raised firing rates, but over a 48-hour period mESPC amplitudes decreased and firing rates returned to close to control values. These changes were at least partly due to postsynaptic alterations in the response to glutamate, and apparently affected each synapse in proportion to its initial strength. Such 'synaptic scaling' may help to ensure that firing rates do not become saturated during developmental changes in the number and strength of synaptic inputs, as well as stabilizing synaptic strengths during Hebbian modification and facilitating competition between synapses.

“There is compelling evidence from experiments in neuronal cultures that central neurons are able to maintain average firing rates around a homeostatic set point.”
From Homeostatic Synaptic Plasticity: Local and Global Mechanisms for Stabilizing Neuronal Function (2012) · cites this paper as Turrigiano et al. 1998
In the citing paper
“One such mechanism is synaptic scaling, which allows neurons to detect changes in their own firing rates through a set of calcium-dependent sensors that then regulate receptor trafficking to increase or decrease the accumulation of glutamate receptors at synaptic sites.”

In the citing paper
“When cortical or hippocampal neurons are induced to fire more than normal, over many hours firing returns to baseline levels, and similarly, if neuronal firing is reduced over time, neurons compensate and again firing is restored (Fig. 1A) (Turrigiano et al. 1998;Burrone et al. 2002).”

“Synaptic scaling was first identified in cultured neocortical neurons, where it was observed that perturbing network activity generated compensatory changes in synaptic strength that were in the right direction to restore average firing rates to baseline values (Turrigiano et al. 1998).”

“by measuring minis arising from many synapses onto the same neuron, it was observed that modulating network activity induced uniform increases or decreases in the entire mini amplitude distribution, in effect scaling postsynaptic strength up or down (Turrigiano et al. 1998;Desai et al. 2002;Gainey et al. 2009).”

“Interestingly, the same manipulation (activity blockade using TTX or AMPAR antagonists) that only affects mini amplitude in young cultures (Turrigiano et al. 1998;Wierenga et al. 2005) can also induce changes in mini frequency and in presynaptic release probability in older neuronal cultures (Wierenga et al. 2006), through a process that involves postsynaptic hyperpolarization and a drop in”

“Although in neocortical networks the net effects of changes in excitation and inhibition appear to be homeostatic (Rutherford et al. 1998;Turrigiano et al. 1998;Maffei et al. 2004), different classes of inhibitory synapse are regulated differently by lowered activity.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
