Mossy fiber Zn2+ spillover modulates heterosynaptic N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor activity in hippocampal CA3 circuits
Although Zn2+ is contained in large amounts in the synaptic terminals of hippocampal mossy fibers (MFs), its physiological role in synaptic transmission is poorly understood. By using the newly developed high-sensitivity Zn2+ indicator ZnAF-2, the spatiotemporal dynamics of Zn2+ was monitored in rat...
