| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Regulation of axonal action potentials (APs) by K+ channels is important in the CNS. Application of BK channel blockers and T-type Ca2+ channel blockers to axons of cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) increased the failure rate of antidromic APs, suggesting that paranodal BK channels support high-fidelity firing at the node of Ranvier. Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are the extracellular matrix of neurons and are found around large neurons in the deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN). Enzymatic PNN depletion of DCN neurons reduced the paired-pulse ratio of inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) and increased the miniature IPSC frequency without changing the amplitude, suggesting that PNN depletion enhances GABA release from presynaptic terminals. Mice having received the enzyme in the interpositus nuclei exhibited a higher conditioned response rate in delay eyeblink conditioning than control mice, suggesting that PNNs suppress GABAergic transmission and impede motor learning in the adult cerebellum.
