Spatial learning induces presynaptic structural remodeling in the hippocampal mossy fiber system of two rat strains

Abstract: Hebb (1949) proposed that after learning both presynaptic and postsynaptic structural changes form the neural substrate of long-lasting memory. Despite this, there are few instances linking presynaptic remodeling with learning. Here the authors demonstrate in two different rat strains that learning the location of a hidden platform induces expansion of the presynaptic hippocampal mossy fiber terminal field (MFTF) from the stratum lucidum to the distal stratum oriens (dSO). Prior to any training, Long Evans rat… Show more

“…Moreover, the significant training-dependent increments in the SOSP of HIDDEN rats were restricted to the rostralmost third of the septal hippocampus ( Fig. 2A), a point emphasized by both Ramirez-Amaya et al (2001) and Holahan et al (2006).In rats sacrificed 48 h after training, the size and relative distribution of MFTFs did not differ as a function of training. Specifically, no significant effect of training on the size of the SOSP, the SL, or the SOSP/SL within the regio inferior was found (data not shown).…”

“…For example, rats with hippocampal lesions perform indistinguishably from sham controls when the location of the platform is clearly marked (Morris et al 1982;Save and Poucet 2000). Thus, if the observed learning-dependent changes in MFTFs are truly caused by hippocampal-dependent spatial learning (Holahan et al 2006), then the amount of hippocampal processing necessary should be increased during spatial processing relative to learning cued by a marked platform (Rudy et al 1987). The present study tests whether such processing differences will be reflected in alterations in MFTF organization.…”
