Research Abstract |
Activity input to spines changes its morphology such as the size and shape related to structural plasticity, contributing to acquire long-term potentiation(LTP) underling learning and memory. However what kind of factor regulates the change in the morphology remains. We found that the number of the spinule and the degree of PIP_3 accumulation in spinules increased in a PIP_3-concentration dependent manner. Spinules accumulating PIP_3 may be sent to presynaptic side through trans-endocytosis proposed in electromicroscopy study, resulting in strengthen synapse connectivity.
