概括

在青少年前额叶皮质 (PFC) 中,N-甲基-D-酸盐受体 (NMDARs) 的逐渐丧失最初会减少树突脊柱密度. 随后,脊柱密度和突触传输的补偿性增加,表明网络重组.

科学领域:

神经科学是一个神经科学.
分子生物学分子生物学
精神病学是一个精神病学.

背景情况:

前额叶皮质 (PFC) 中的N-甲基-D-酸盐受体 (NMDARs) 调节神经元刺激性和认知能力.
NMDAR功能障碍与精神分裂症有关,可能是由于改变了谷氨酸的信号传递.
青少年NMDAR逐渐丧失对PFC刺激突触的影响尚不清楚.

研究的目的:

研究在青少年小鼠PFC中抑制NMDAR表达对激发性突触结构和功能的影响.
在NMDAR损失后,探索PFC网络中的潜在补偿机制.

主要方法:

在体内编辑基因组以切除青少年小鼠中介性PFC神经元中的Grin1基因 (编码NMDAR GluN1子单元).
全细胞补丁电生理学和V层金字塔神经元中的树突的共聚焦成像.

主要成果:

NMDAR切除导致基础树突脊柱密度的初始下降.
随后观察到脊柱密度的反弹和AMPA受体介导 (AMPAR) 突触传播的增加.
这些效应是泛神经NMDAR除的特征,在向刺激神经元操纵时没有观察到.

结论:

在青少年PFC中逐渐的NMDAR损失触发了局部神经网络的级联重组.
补偿过程可能会发生以维持静止,但在精神分裂症等疾病状态中可能会受到损害.

Long-term Depression

Long-term Depression

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.
