Changes in synaptic efficacy are crucial for the development of appropriate neural circuits and brain information storage. We have investigated mechanisms underlying long-term depression (LTD) at glutamatergic synapses in the striatum, a brain region important in motor performance and cognition, and a target for Huntington and Parkinson diseases. Induction of striatal LTD is dependent on postsynaptic depolarization and calcium influx through L-type channels. Surprisingly, LTD maintenance appears to involve a decrease in the probability of neurotransmitter release from presynaptic terminals as evidenced by increases in paired-pulse facilitation and the coefficient of variation of synaptic responses that are tightly associated with LTD expression. Furthermore, both the apparent probability of neurotransmitter release and the magnitude of LTD decrease concomitantly during postnatal development, consistent with the idea that striatal LTD is involved in a developmental decrease in the probability of neurotransmitter release at corticostriatal synapses. The presynaptic changes that underlie striatal LTD may also be important for motor performance and certain forms of learning and memory.
