Dopamine released from substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) neurons modulates movement, motivation, and reward. In addition to their tonic firing pattern, dopamine neurons also fire high-frequency bursts that cause superlinear increases in dopamine release. To study this poorly understood form of short-term plasticity, we used the fluorescent dopamine sensor dLight1.3b to examine the role of the calcium-binding protein synaptotagmin-7 (SYT7). We report that SYT7 mediates a hidden component of facilitation, which was unmasked by lowering initial release probability, or by low-frequency stimulation of nerve terminals. In Syt7 KO neurons, there was profound synaptic depression that significantly reduced release during stimulations that mimic in vivo firing patterns of SNc neurons. D2-mediated inhibitory postsynaptic currents in the SNc revealed a similar role for SYT7 in somatodendritic release. Our results indicate that SYT7 drives short-term facilitation of release from dopamine neurons, which likely underlies frequency-dependence of dopamine signaling in vivo.

"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.
