The striatum, the input stage of the basal ganglia, is a critical brain structure for the learning of stimulus-response habits as well as motor, perceptual, and cognitive skills. Roles of dopamine (DA) and acetylcholine (ACh) in this form of implicit memory have long been considered essential, but the underlying cellular mechanism is still unclear. By means of patch-clamp recordings from corticostriatal slices of the mouse, we studied whether the identified striatal cholinergic interneurons undergo long-term synaptic changes after tetanic stimulation of cortico- and thalamostriatal fibers. Electrical stimulation of the fibers revealed a depolarizing and hyperpolarizing postsynaptic potential in the striatal cholinergic interneurons. The early depolarizing phase was considered to be a cortico/thalamostriatal glutamatergic EPSP, and the hyperpolarizing component was considered to be an intrastriatally evoked GABAergic IPSP. Tetanic stimulation of cortico/thalamostriatal fibers was found to induce simultaneously occurring long-term potentiation (LTP) of the EPSPs as well as the disynaptically mediated IPSPs. The induction of LTP of EPSP required a rise in intracellular Ca2+ concentration and dopamine D5, but not D2 receptor activation. Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptors might also play a part in the LTP induction. Blockade of NMDA receptors, metabotropic glutamate receptors, or serotonin receptors had no significant effects. The long-term enhancement of the disynaptic IPSPs was caused by a long-term increase in the occurrence rate but not the amplitude of disynaptically mediated IPSP in the striatal cholinergic interneurons. This dual mechanism of synaptic plasticity may be responsible for the long-term modulation of the cortico/thalamostriatal synaptic transmission.
