A Role of Actin Filament in Synaptic Transmission and Long-Term Potentiation
Open accessAbstract
The role of actin filaments in synaptic function has been studied in the CA1 region of the rat hippocampal slice. Bath application (2 hr) of the actin polymerization inhibitor latrunculin B did not substantially affect the shape of dendrites or spines. However, this and other drugs that affect actin did affect synaptic function. Bath-applied latrunculin B reduced the synaptic response. Several lines of evidence indicate that a component of this effect is presynaptic. To specifically test for a postsynaptic role for actin, latrunculin B or phalloidin, an actin filament stabilizer, was perfused into the postsynaptic neuron. The magnitude of long-term potentiation (LTP) was decreased at times when baseline transmission was not yet affected. Longer applications produced a decrease in baseline AMPA receptor (AMPAR)-mediated transmission. The magnitude of the NMDA receptor-mediated transmission was unaffected, indicating a specific effect on the AMPAR. These results suggest that postsynaptic actin filaments are involved in a dynamic process required to maintain AMPAR-mediated transmission and to enhance it during LTP.

Interfering with actin polymerization blocks both sLTP and LTP.
“Interfering with actin polymerization blocks both sLTP (247) as well as LTP (310).”
From Synaptic memory and CaMKII (2023) · cites this paper as [310]
Citation 310 supports the LTP portion of the sentence, not the separately cited sLTP portion. In “LTP induction is inhibited by actin polymerization inhibitors” (page unavailable), the paper reports that latrunculin B reduced potentiation rather than completely blocking LTP, so “blocks” overstates its finding. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredBlocking actin remodeling blocks both sLTP and LTP.
“However, blocking actin remodeling blocks both sLTP (247) and LTP (310).”
From Synaptic memory and CaMKII (2023) · cites this paper as [310]
Citation 310 is attached to the LTP portion of the sentence; the separate sLTP citation is not assessed here. In “LTP induction is inhibited by actin polymerization inhibitors” (page unavailable), latrunculin B reduced LTP, but potentiation remained at 113% versus 160% in controls. The source supports inhibition of LTP, not its complete blockade. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredActin polymerization is an essential step of LTP-stabilizing processes.
“Actin polymerization is an essential step of this kind (9, 15–17)”

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.
