The cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent potentiation of neurotransmitter release is important for higher brain functions such as learning and memory. To reveal the underlying mechanisms, we applied paired pre- and postsynaptic recordings from hippocampal mossy fiber-CA3 synapses. Ca2+ uncaging experiments did not reveal changes in the intracellular Ca2+ sensitivity for transmitter release by cAMP, but suggested an increase in the local Ca2+ concentration at the release site, which was much lower than that of other synapses before potentiation. Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy indicated a clear increase in the local Ca2+ concentration at the release site within 5 to 10 min, suggesting that the increase in local Ca2+ is explained by the simple mechanism of rapid Ca2+ channel accumulation. Consistently, two-dimensional time-gated stimulated emission depletion microscopy (gSTED) microscopy showed an increase in the P/Q-type Ca2+ channel cluster size near the release sites. Taken together, this study suggests a potential mechanism for the cAMP-dependent increase in transmission at hippocampal mossy fiber-CA3 synapses, namely an accumulation of active zone Ca2+ channels.
