The Impact

Dendritic atrophy and impaired long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP) are hallmarks of chronic stress-induced plasticity in the hippocampus. It has been hypothesized that these disparate structural and physiological correlates of stress lead to hippocampal dysfunction by reducing postsynaptic dendritic surface, thereby adversely affecting the availability of synaptic inputs and suppressing LTP. Here we examine the validity of this framework using biophysical models of hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons. To statistically match with the experimentally observed region specificity of stress-induced atrophy, we use an algorithm to systematically prune three-dimensional reconstructions of CA3 pyramidal neurons. Using this algorithm, we build a biophysically realistic computational model to analyze the effects of stress on intrinsic and synaptic excitability. We find that stress-induced atrophy of CA3 dendrites leads to an increase in input resistance, which depends exponentially on the percentage of neuronal atrophy. This increase translates directly into higher spiking frequencies in response to both somatic current injections and synaptic inputs at various locations along the dendritic arbor. Remarkably, we also find that the dendritic regions that manifest atrophy-induced synaptic hyperexcitability are governed by the region specificity of the underlying dendritic atrophy. Coupled with experimentally observed modulation of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor currents, such hyperexcitability could tilt the balance of plasticity mechanisms in favor of synaptic potentiation over depression. Thus paradoxically, our results suggest that stress may impair hippocampal learning and memory, not by directly inhibiting LTP, but because of stress-induced facilitation of intrinsic and synaptic excitability and the consequent imbalance in bidirectional synaptic plasticity.

Experience-dependent modification in the electrical properties of central neurons is a form of intrinsic plasticity that occurs during development and has been observed following behavioral learning. We report a novel form of intrinsic plasticity in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons mediated by the KV7/KCNQ and CaV1/L-type Ca2+ channels. Enhancing Ca2+ influx with a conditioning spike train (30 Hz, 3 s) potentiated the KV7/KCNQ channel function and led to a long-lasting, activity-dependent increase in spike frequency adaptation—a gradual reduction in the firing frequency in response to sustained excitation. These effects were abolished by specific blockers for CaV1/L-type Ca2+ channels, KV7/KCNQ channels, and protein kinase A (PKA). Considering the widespread expression of these two channel types, the influence of Ca2+ influx and subsequent activation of PKA on KV7/KCNQ channels may represent a generalized principle in fine tuning the output of central neurons that promotes stability in firing—an example of homeostatic regulation of intrinsic membrane excitability.

SummarySynaptic diversity is a key feature of neural circuits. The structural and functional diversity of closely spaced inputs converging on the same neuron suggests that cell-surface interactions are essential in organizing input properties. Here, we analyzed the cell-surface protein (CSP) composition of hippocampal mossy fiber (MF) inputs on CA3 pyramidal neurons to identify regulators of MF-CA3 synapse properties. We uncover a rich cell-surface repertoire that includes adhesion proteins, guidance cue receptors, extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, and uncharacterized CSPs. Interactome screening reveals multiple ligand-receptor modules and identifies ECM protein Tenascin-R (TenR) as a ligand of the uncharacterized neuronal receptor IgSF8. Presynaptic Igsf8 deletion impairs MF-CA3 synaptic architecture and robustly decreases the density of bouton filopodia that provide feedforward inhibition of CA3 neurons. Consequently, loss of IgSF8 increases CA3 neuron excitability. Our findings identify IgSF8 as a regulator of CA3 microcircuit development and suggest that combinations of CSP modules define input identity.
