Thin Dendrites of Cerebellar Interneurons Confer Sublinear Synaptic Integration and a Gradient of Short-Term Plasticity

http://www.cell.com/neuron/abstract/S0896-6273%2812%2900182-1
Stellate cells are critical sources of inhibition in the cerebellum, but how their dendrites integrate excitatory synaptic inputs is unknown. Abrahamsson et al. show that thin dendrites and passive membrane properties of SCs promote sublinear synaptic summation and distance-dependent short-term plasticity.

The present study uses a double retrograde tracer technique in rats to examine the spatial localization and pattern of axonal branching in mossy fibres arising from three major sources in the medulla – the external cuneate nucleus, sensory trigeminal nucleus, and the reticular formation – to two electrophysiologically-identified parts of the cerebellar cortex that are linked by common climbing fibre input: the forelimb-receiving parts of the C1 zone in lobulus simplex and the paramedian lobule.

Cerebellar long-term depression (LTD) at parallel fiber (PF) – Purkinje cell synapses is thought to play an essential role in certain forms of motor learning. Like hippocampal LTD, cerebellar LTD is mediated by the endocytosis of AMPA ([alpha]-amino-3-hydroxyl-5- methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate) receptors at postsynaptic sites.
