Accession:244848
The spatiotemporal spread of biochemical signals in neurons and other cells regulate signaling specificity, tuning of signal propagation, along with specificity and clustering of adaptive plasticity. Theoretical and experimental studies have demonstrated a critical role for cellular morphology and the topology of signaling networks in regulating this spread. In this study, we add a significantly complex dimension to this narrative by demonstrating that voltage-gated ion channels (A-type Potassium channels and T-type Calcium channels) on the plasma membrane could actively amplify or suppress the strength and spread of downstream signaling components. We employed a multiscale, multicompartmental, morphologically realistic, conductance-based model that accounted for the biophysics of electrical signaling and the biochemistry of calcium handling and downstream enzymatic signaling in a hippocampal pyramidal neuron. We chose the calcium – calmodulin – calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) – protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) signaling pathway owing to its critical importance to several forms of neuronal plasticity, and employed physiologically relevant theta-burst stimulation (TBS) or theta-burst pairing (TBP) protocol to initiate a calcium microdomain through NMDAR activation at a synapse.

//This HOC file was used to generate Figure 13 of the article. The parameters for generating other figures may be found in Table S1 of the article.
// The most important procedures in terms of adding calcium handling mechanisms, spines, recording species etc are:
// addspine()
//createspines()
//spineconnect()
//AddSynapse2()
//Record_species()
//defaultgrad_Dependent():run this to get the results in .txt format
//the calcium handling .mod file is called modcamechs, which is inserted in apical[59], as well as all the spines originating from it
