Mechanisms of GABAergic homeostatic plasticity Wenner PNeural Plast 2011[]; 2011 (�): 489470Homeostatic plasticity ensures that appropriate levels of activity are maintained through compensatory adjustments in synaptic strength and cellular excitability. For instance, excitatory glutamatergic synapses are strengthened following activity blockade and weakened following increases in spiking activity. This form of plasticity has been described in a wide array of networks at several different stages of development, but most work and reviews have focussed on the excitatory inputs of excitatory neurons. Here we review homeostatic plasticity of GABAergic neurons and their synaptic connections. We propose a simplistic model for homeostatic plasticity of GABAergic components of the circuitry (GABAergic synapses onto excitatory neurons, excitatory connections onto GABAergic neurons, cellular excitability of GABAergic neurons): following chronic activity blockade there is a weakening of GABAergic inhibition, and following chronic increases in network activity there is a strengthening of GABAergic inhibition. Previous work on GABAergic homeostatic plasticity supports certain aspects of the model, but it is clear that the model cannot fully account for some results which do not appear to fit any simplistic rule. We consider potential reasons for these discrepancies.|Animals[MESH]|Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials/physiology[MESH]|Homeostasis/*physiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Nerve Net/metabolism[MESH]|Neuronal Plasticity/*physiology[MESH]|Neurons/*metabolism[MESH]|Synapses/*metabolism[MESH]|Synaptic Transmission/physiology[MESH]|gamma-Aminobutyric Acid/*metabolism[MESH] |
