The synapse made by hippocampal mossy fibers onto pyramidal neurons
of hippocampal area CA3 displays a form of long-term potentiation (LTP)
that is independent of the activation of NMDA receptors. Considerable
controversy exists as to whether the induction of mossy fiber LTP
requires postsynaptic activation and, thus, whether mossy fiber LTP is
Hebbian or non-Hebbian. Here we report the induction of both Hebbian
and non-Hebbian forms of long-term potentiation at the mossy fiber-CA3
synapse in in vitro slice preparation. These two forms of
potentiation can be induced selectively by different induction
conditions. Sustained presynaptic activation is sufficient to induce
the non-Hebbian form of mossy fiber LTP, whereas brief presynaptic
activation coincident with postsynaptic depolarization is required to
induce the Hebbian form. We suggest that non-Hebbian forms of
plasticity may play an important role in dynamically regulating the
thresholds for inducing Hebbian forms of plasticity.
