parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse

Definition

Target type: cellularcomponent

An excitatory synapse formed by the parallel fibers of granule cells synapsing onto the dendrites of Purkinje cells. [PMID:16623829, PMID:3209740]

The parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse is a specialized structure in the cerebellar cortex, responsible for transmitting signals from granule cells to Purkinje cells. This synapse is characterized by a complex arrangement of cellular components that contribute to its unique function.

**Presynaptic Terminal (Parallel Fiber):**

* **Axon:** The parallel fiber, an axon of a granule cell, forms the presynaptic terminal. It is thin and unmyelinated, extending parallel to the Purkinje cell layer.
* **Synaptic Vesicles:** The axon contains numerous synaptic vesicles filled with neurotransmitters, primarily glutamate. These vesicles are clustered near the active zone, the site of neurotransmitter release.
* **Active Zone:** The active zone is a specialized region of the presynaptic membrane where synaptic vesicles dock and release their contents. It is characterized by a dense accumulation of proteins involved in exocytosis.

**Postsynaptic Dendrite (Purkinje Cell):**

* **Dendritic Spine:** The parallel fiber synapses onto specialized protrusions called dendritic spines on the Purkinje cell dendrite. These spines are highly plastic and can change in size and shape in response to synaptic activity.
* **Postsynaptic Density (PSD):** The PSD is a dense protein scaffold located on the postsynaptic membrane of the dendritic spine. It contains receptors for glutamate, as well as signaling molecules that mediate postsynaptic responses.
* **Calcium Channels:** Voltage-gated calcium channels are present on the dendritic spine membrane and are activated by the arrival of action potentials. The influx of calcium triggers the activation of intracellular signaling pathways.

**Extracellular Space:**

* **Synaptic Cleft:** The synaptic cleft is the narrow gap between the presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes. It is filled with extracellular matrix proteins and is the site of neurotransmitter diffusion.
* **Glial Cells:** Astrocytes and Bergmann glial cells surround the synapse and play important roles in regulating synaptic function. They contribute to neurotransmitter uptake, clearance, and the maintenance of the extracellular environment.

The parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse is a highly plastic structure, capable of undergoing significant changes in strength and morphology in response to experience. These changes contribute to cerebellar learning and motor coordination.'
