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.
