Dynamic actin filaments are required for stable long-term potentiation (LTP) in area CA1 of the hippocampus
Open accessAbstract
The hypothesis that dynamic actin filaments participate in specific aspects of synaptic plasticity was investigated at the Schaffer-collateral-CA1 pyramidal cell synapse of mouse hippocampus. Low concentrations (0.01–1 μM) of compounds that inhibit actin filament assembly were bath applied to hippocampal slices during extracellular recording of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials. Cytochalasin D, cytochalasin B, and latrunculin A all impaired the maintenance of LTP induced by brief high-frequency stimulation. This effect on LTP maintenance was specific, because none of the compounds affected basal synaptic transmission, paired-pulse facilitation, LTP induction, or post-tetanic potentiation. The effect of cytochalasin B was reversible. The results are consistent with a model in which dynamic actin filaments play an essential role in the molecular mechanisms underlying the early maintenance phase of LTP, such as growth of new synaptic connections or conversion of silent synapses.

TL;DR
Low concentrations of actin filament assembly inhibitors selectively impaired maintenance of LTP at Schaffer-collateral–CA1 synapses without affecting basal synaptic transmission, paired-pulse facilitation, LTP induction, or post-tetanic potentiation. The results suggest dynamic actin filaments are required during the early maintenance phase of LTP, possibly for structural remodeling or receptor trafficking.
Key findings
- Cytochalasin D, cytochalasin B, and latrunculin A (0.01–1 μM) did not significantly alter basal pEPSPs, pharmacologically isolated NMDA-pEPSPs, presynaptic fiber volleys, or paired-pulse facilitation over 90 min.
- In untreated slices, LTP was stable at 214 ± 17% of baseline at 100 min and 211 ± 20% at 130 min after tetanus. Pretreatment with actin assembly inhibitors reduced maintained LTP: cytochalasin D reached about 140% of baseline after 60 min, cytochalasin B about 148% at 130 min, and latrunculin A about 139% at 130 min.
- When superfused after LTP induction, cytochalasin D reduced LTP to 165 ± 17% at 100 min and 121 ± 12% at 180 min; cytochalasin B to 182 ± 12% at 100 min and 146 ± 15% at 180 min; latrunculin A to 165 ± 3% at 100 min and 140 ± 12% at 180 min.
- Cytochalasin B effects were at least partially reversible: after washout and a second tetanus, LTP was stable, and 0.01 μM cytochalasin B for 5 min reduced first LTP but allowed robust, nondecremental LTP of about 200% after the second tetanus.
Methods
- Hippocampal slices (400 μm) from normal C57BL/6 male mice (32 ± 0.8 days old) were maintained in oxygenated ACSF at 32 ± 0.2°C.
- Extracellular recordings of presynaptic fiber volleys and population EPSPs were made in stratum radiatum of CA1 with Schaffer-collateral stimulation; input–output curves and paired-pulse facilitation at 20, 50, 100, and 200 ms were tested.
- LTP was induced by two tetani of 100 Hz, 20 sec apart, with responses followed up to 180 min; drugs were bath-applied before or immediately after LTP induction. pEPSP slope, amplitude, and area were analyzed, with Mann–Whitney U tests and P ≤ 0.05 considered significant.
Limitations
- The paper states that the precise time window when dynamic actin filaments participate in LTP maintenance remains to be determined, and the precise nature and location of the essential actin filaments are not identified.
- The authors state their studies do not rule out a role for dynamic actin in other regions of the neuron or in glial cells.
- Evident from the text: experiments used only male C57BL/6 mice at one developmental age, in vitro slices, extracellular field recordings, and small group sizes (e.g., n = 3–7 per condition), which limits generalization and statistical power.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
