1 Long-term synaptic plasticity N500, 6 Sept., 2016

2 We just finished describing short-term synaptic changes

3 What about long-term changes?

4 How does the brain store information?

5 Outline Origins of the synaptic hypothesis of memory The hippocampus and the tragic case of H.M. The discovery of Long term potentiation (LTP) Associative and Hebbian LTP Spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) Induction and expression Long-term depression (LTD) The BCM rule

13 The case of H.M. Surgery to prevent continued epileptic seizures Both hippocampi removed Unable to learn new declarative information Can learn new motor skills: golf, mirror writing

21 So it looks like synapses change in longterm ways. What next?

22 Outline Origins of the synaptic hypothesis of memory The hippocampus and the tragic case of H.M. The discovery of Long term potentiation (LTP) Associative and Hebbian LTP Spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) Induction and expression Long-term depression (LTD) The BCM rule

27 A post-synaptic potential (psp)

28 An action potential (spike)

29 Typical LTP protocol

30 Associative properties, like Aristotle and James suggested

31

32 As Hebb predicted!

33 Just as Hebb suggested

34 Sensitive to temporal contiguity, like Pavlov observed

35 Outline Origins of the synaptic hypothesis of memory The hippocampus and the tragic case of H.M. The discovery of Long term potentiation (LTP) Associative and Hebbian LTP Spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) Induction and expression Long-term depression (LTD) The BCM rule

36

37 LTP can be temporally very precise Bi and Poo, 1998

38 Why is STDP important?

39 Why is STDP important?

40 Synaptic strength Why is STDP important? time Fire early -> get stronger -> fire earlier Fire late -> get weaker -> fire later

41 Why is STDP important?

42 Outline Origins of the synaptic hypothesis of memory The hippocampus and the tragic case of H.M. The discovery of Long term potentiation (LTP) Associative and Hebbian LTP Spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) Induction and expression Long-term depression (LTD) The BCM rule

57 High frequency LTP

58 Low frequency LTD

59 Test pulse at Hz: no change

60 Synaptic change (%) The BCM theory of synaptic plasticity Frequency (Hz) -

61 BCM predicts a leftward shift for lower spontaneous activity % = Light reared = Dark reared

62 BCM predicted the data % = Light reared = Dark reared A new type of LTP

63 Timing induced LTP

64 Timing induced LTD

65 Unresolved issues Asymmetry of induction: 120 vs. 900 pulses What causes the shape of the BCM curve? Frequency results did not predict timing results Timing results do not say why 1 Hz unpaired induces LTD, yet 0.1 Hz unpaired induces no change
