Developmental switch from GABA to glycine release in single central synaptic terminals
Abstract
Early in postnatal development, inhibitory inputs to rat lateral superior olive (LSO) neurons change from releasing predominantly GABA to releasing predominantly glycine into the synapse. Here we show that spontaneous miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs) also change from GABAergic to glycinergic over the first two postnatal weeks. Many 'mixed' mIPSCs, resulting from co-release of glycine and GABA from the same vesicles, are seen during this transition. Immunohistochemistry showed that a large number of terminals contained both GABA and glycine at postnatal day 8 (P8). By P14, both the content of GABA in these mixed terminals and the contribution of GABA to the mixed mIPSCs had decreased. The content of glycine in terminals increased over the same period. Our results indicate that switching from GABAergic to glycinergic inputs to the LSO may occur at the level of a single presynaptic terminal. This demonstrates a new form of developmental plasticity at the level of a single central synapse.

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.
