Abstract:
:Short-term augmentation of synaptic transmission at sensory neuron synapses of Aplysia contributes to behavioral sensitization and is one of the current models for a cellular mechanism of learning. This neuromodulatory process, mediated at least in part by the facilitatory neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) acting through cAMP, has been thought to result largely from prolongation of the sensory neuron action potential (AP). The quantitative contribution of AP prolongation to synaptic augmentation was examined using a new culture preparation that is favorable for controlling the voltage at the presynaptic terminals. Preventing AP prolongation by using unvarying voltage-clamp commands in place of triggered APs did not reduce augmentation significantly, and pharmacological prolongation of APs caused by a high concentration of 5-HT led to a negligible increase in the synaptic response. Together with earlier evidence against the involvement of changes in Ca2+ current, these results suggest that synaptic augmentation may result from modulation of steps in the secretory process that lie distal to the flow of ion currents across the nerve terminal membrane.
