This important theoretical paper indicates that presynaptic plasticity is a plausible principle to explain how working memory is sustained in the brain. The paper underlines that the temporal characteristics of presynaptic plasticity, especially the build-up of residual calcium during repetitive activation of terminals, make this type of neuronal plasticity an excellent candidate to explain how recurrent connections in neuronal networks support working memory.

This review highlights an aspect of synaptic plasticity that was recently developed by the authors and others on how the postsynaptic cell and dendritic activity are involved in dynamically setting the neurotransmitter release probability in individual nerve terminals through local feedback regulation. The authors elaborate on the implications of this local tuning of synaptic strength for single-neuron computation and network performance.

This paper resolves discrepancies that existed in literature on the relative importance of PKC-dependent and PKC-independent pathways to enhance synaptic strength via enhancing secretion in the nerve terminal. It is shown that two parallel pathways exist, one that activates Munc13 in a PKC-independent and one that phosphorylates Munc18 in a PKC-dependent manner, and the two pathways are interdependent.

Qualitative and quantitative analyses of protein phosphorylation in naive and stimulated mouse synaptosomal preparations. Mol Cell Proteomics 6 (2007) 283-293. This paper uses modern phosphopeptide enrichment methods and proteomics methods to identify biologically relevant phosphorylation sites in synaptic proteins. Importantly, the collection of biologically relevant phosphosites that this study obtained overlaps poorly with phosphosites predicted in silico (see main text), underlining the importance of this large scale mapping experiments using biological material.
