Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) regulates hippocampal plasticity, learning, and memory. While circulating, liver-derived IGF1 is known to play an essential role in hippocampal function and plasticity, IGF1 is also synthesized in multiple brain regions, including the hippocampus. However, little is known about the role of hippocampus-derived IGF1 in synaptic plasticity, the type of cells that may provide relevant IGF1, and the spatiotemporal dynamics of IGF1 signaling. Here, using a new FRET sensor for IGF1 signaling, we show that IGF1 in the hippocampus is primarily synthesized in CA1 pyramidal neurons and released in an activity-dependent manner in mice. The local IGF1 release from dendritic spines triggers local autocrine IGF1 receptor activation on the same spine, regulating structural and electrophysiological plasticity of the activated spine. Thus, our study demonstrates a novel mechanism underlying synaptic plasticity by the synthesis and autocrine signaling of IGF1 specific to CA1 pyramidal neurons.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
