text: The hippocampal mossy fiber synapse is a key synapse of the trisynaptic circuit.
Post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) is the most powerful form of plasticity at this
synaptic connection. It is widely believed that mossy fiber PTP is an entirely
presynaptic phenomenon, implying that PTP induction is input-specific, and requires
neither activity of multiple inputs nor stimulation of postsynaptic neurons. To
directly test cooperativity and associativity, we made paired recordings between
single mossy fiber terminals and postsynaptic CA3 pyramidal neurons in rat brain
slices. By stimulating non-overlapping mossy fiber inputs converging onto single
CA3 neurons, we confirm that PTP is input-specific and non-cooperative. Unexpectedly,
mossy fiber PTP exhibits anti-associative induction properties. EPSCs show only
minimal PTP after combined pre- and postsynaptic high-frequency stimulation with
intact postsynaptic Ca2+ signaling, but marked PTP in the absence of postsynaptic
spiking and after suppression of postsynaptic Ca2+ signaling (10 mM EGTA). PTP
is largely recovered by inhibitors of voltage-gated R- and L-type Ca2+ channels,
group II mGluRs, and vacuolar-type H+-ATPase, suggesting the involvement of retrograde
vesicular glutamate signaling. Transsynaptic regulation of PTP extends the repertoire
of synaptic computations, implementing a brake on mossy fiber detonation and a
“smart teacher” function of hippocampal mossy fiber synapses.
