概括

动机变化发生在几天内. 鼠标交配研究显示,中介前视区域 (MPOA) 的多巴胺传播在交配后下降,并通过快速和缓慢的神经元可塑性机制在一周内恢复.

科学领域:

神经科学是一个神经科学.
行为生物学行为生物学

背景情况:

动机状态在长时间内波动,需要了解潜在的神经机制.
鼠标的交配行为为研究缓慢时间尺度的动机动态提供了一个模型.

研究的目的:

通过使用小鼠交配行为来研究动机中缓慢时间尺度变化的神经编排.
阐明多巴胺传播和神经元可塑性在调节交配驱动恢复中的作用.

主要方法:

深大脑光终身成像在雄性小鼠的中介前视区域 (MPOA) 中使用.
鼠标的交配行为被用来在一周内建模性和动机恢复.

主要成果:

在MPOA中,性多巴胺传输在交配后减少,并在一周内逐渐恢复.
成功的交配暂时降低了下丘脑多巴胺释放神经元的发射速度.
交配损害了这些神经元产生和释放多巴胺的能力,在为期一周的时间内恢复.

结论:

快速和渐进的神经元可塑性机制合作控制动机动态.
快速机制调节最初的交配行为抑制,而缓慢机制则控制长期的动机恢复.

Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation

Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation

The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent...
