--- _id: '7665' abstract: - lang: eng text: Acute brain slice preparation is a powerful experimental model for investigating the characteristics of synaptic function in the brain. Although brain tissue is usually cut at ice-cold temperature (CT) to facilitate slicing and avoid neuronal damage, exposure to CT causes molecular and architectural changes of synapses. To address these issues, we investigated ultrastructural and electrophysiological features of synapses in mouse acute cerebellar slices prepared at ice-cold and physiological temperature (PT). In the slices prepared at CT, we found significant spine loss and reconstruction, synaptic vesicle rearrangement and decrease in synaptic proteins, all of which were not detected in slices prepared at PT. Consistent with these structural findings, slices prepared at PT showed higher release probability. Furthermore, preparation at PT allows electrophysiological recording immediately after slicing resulting in higher detectability of long-term depression (LTD) after motor learning compared with that at CT. These results indicate substantial advantages of the slice preparation at PT for investigating synaptic functions in different physiological conditions. article_number: '63' article_processing_charge: Yes (via OA deal) article_type: original author: - first_name: Kohgaku full_name: Eguchi, Kohgaku id: 2B7846DC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Eguchi orcid: 0000-0002-6170-2546 - first_name: Philipp full_name: Velicky, Philipp id: 39BDC62C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Velicky orcid: 0000-0002-2340-7431 - first_name: Elena full_name: Hollergschwandtner, Elena id: 3C054040-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hollergschwandtner - first_name: Makoto full_name: Itakura, Makoto last_name: Itakura - first_name: Yugo full_name: Fukazawa, Yugo last_name: Fukazawa - first_name: Johann G full_name: Danzl, Johann G id: 42EFD3B6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Danzl orcid: 0000-0001-8559-3973 - first_name: Ryuichi full_name: Shigemoto, Ryuichi id: 499F3ABC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Shigemoto orcid: 0000-0001-8761-9444 citation: ama: Eguchi K, Velicky P, Saeckl E, et al.
