Memento (2001)
“When an axon of cell A is near enough to excite a cell B and repeatedly or persistently takes part in firing it, some growth process or metabolic change takes place in one or both cells such that A’s efficiency, as one of the cells firing B, is increased.”
Donald Hebb: The Cell-Assembly (1949)

Synaptic learning rulesSynaptic learning rules
• Learning rules: mapping activity to plasticity
• Hippocampal learning rules– Plasticity at the CA3-CA1 synapse– Saturation and all-or-none storage– Timing-dependent and higher-order learning rules
• Cerebellar learning rules– Plasticity at the parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapse– A reverse timing rule– Coincidence detection at the IP3 receptor
• Beyond spike-based rules

Plasticity is usually measured across many synapses…
30,000 synapses
…what are its properties at single synapses?
CA3-CA1 synapse of hippocampus
Rich history of extracellular and single-cell recordingThe cell biology and plasticity literature is vastOne synapse per connectionHas AMPA, NMDA, mGluR,…
Plasticity at CA3-CA1: a separable process?
• Is timing between single spikes sufficient to describe the actual learning rule?
• How different are the requirements for potentiation and depression?
• How might the learning rule map to behavior?
• What unitary events underlie plasticity in the synaptic ensemble?
Questions at the CA3-CA1 synapse
Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II: a molecular switch
J. Lisman, H. Schulman, and H. Cline (2002)Nature Rev. Neurosci. 3:175
Delivery of glutamate receptors
10 pA
5 ms
Plasticity occurs in sudden steps
O’Connor, Wittenberg and Wang (2005) PNAS 102:9679
Potentiation and depression events are symmetrically sized
Unitary properties of plasticity at CA3-CA1 synapses
All-or-none
Single steps up and down
Steps are of similar size
Unitary events can account for the time course of plasticity
Binary transitionsin single synapses
LTD is fully reversible
LTP is not fully reversible!
After being induced, LTP becomes locked in
