Quantal transmission of CA1 synapses Quantal response does not mean opening of all channels at CA1 synapses Quantal size is 10pA (22) Single AMPA channels generate pA (23), quantal response is generated by ~ 20 channels

Properties relevant to Quantal Transmission Fast rise time indicate that the subset of channels that open at the peak of the response are localized in a hotspot (~100 nm radius) near the location at which the vesicle is re- leased (Fig. 4, A2) (25). This hotspot represents a small fraction of large synapses, which can be up to 1 μm in diameter (18). Only near the site of release is the cleft glutamate concentration in the millimolar range that is required to effectively load the multiple glutamate binding sites on the multimeric AMPARs. Synapse stained to reveal both presynaptic active zone and postsynaptic density shows alignment of the edges of the two structures. [From (52)] Amplitude histograms of evoked responses (minimal stimulation) before LTP induction and shortly afterward. There is reduction in failure probability and increase in quantal size.

The GluR1 Subunit in Distance Dependent Scaling C1) Current evoked by glutamate application to excised extrasynaptic membrane is larger distally than proximally and is virtually abolished in the GluR1 knockout. C2) mEPSC amplitude is normally higher distally than proximally, but amplitudes become equal in the GluR1 knockout. [From (12)]

LTP and postsynaptic insertion of AMPA channels (C1) Noise analysis used to estimate number and conductance of AMPA channels in the extrasynaptic membrane before LTP. (C2) Same after LTP. (D1 and D2) Summary data show that LTP produces an increase in channel number but not in conductance. [From (50)]

LTP and presynaptic mode of vesicle release (A1) Before LTP induction, L-AP5 abolishes the NMDA EPSC, indicating low cleft glutamate concentration. (A2) LTP induced by a pairing protocol produces a very large increase in AMPA current. (A3) After LTP induction, the NMDA EPSC is no longer strongly inhibited by L-AP5, suggesting the presence of a higher cleft glutamate concentration. [From (39)]

LTP and presynaptic mode of vesicle release (C1) Direct measurement of vesicle release using activity-dependent destaining of FM 1-43 shows faster destaining after LTP induction, indicating enhanced probability of vesicle release. FM 1-43 labels synaptic vesicles. (C2) Statistics before and after LTP induction or control. [From (57)]
