Abstract(in English) Cerebellar long-term depression(LTD) is induced by conjunctive inputs of parallel and climbing fiber. When parallel fiber inputs proceed to climbing fiber input, ca^2+ concentration at the spine in the Purkinje cell dramatically increases and LTD occurs. However, molecular dynamics of coincidence detection is unclear. We developed a quantitive model of signal transdution and analyzed the dynamics to convert input timing to Ca^2+ concentration. We found that increase in ca^2+ concentration is a threshold phenomenon. The larger inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate(IP_3) concentration increases via parallel fiber inputs, the lower the threshold becomes. Experiments for cerebellar LTD with various conditions can be interpreted as different aspects of the same mechanism.
