诱导成年大鼠海马CA1区长时程压抑的强直刺激型式

摘要:
低频率连续刺激(1Hz,15min)能够诱导幼年大鼠(<4周)
海马CAI区同突触长时程压抑(1ong.termdepression,
LTD),而只有较高频率且持续时间较长的连续刺激才能诱导出成年
动物该部位稳定的LTD.本研究采用成年大鼠海马脑片
标本,电刺激Schaffer侧枝传入纤维,在CAI区锥体细胞层记录群体
锋电位,选用两种新的刺激参数以观测不同刺激型式在
诱导成年大鼠LTD中的作用.诱导LTD的刺激参数为:(1)2Hz,5串,
串长60S,串间隔60S;(2)5Hz,5串,串长
24S,串间隔96S;(3)对照组参数:2Hz,300S.结果显示,对照参数未能诱
导出LTD;而两种频率不同但脉冲总数与
刺激总时程相同的多串刺激,即参数(1)与参数(2),均在成年大鼠海马
CAI区诱导产生了LTD.两种参数所诱导的LTD特征
具有参数特异性,该特征主要表现为LTD诱导潜伏期和LTD的幅度:
参数(1),(2)诱导的LTD的潜伏期分别为15~25min
和30-40min.强直刺激后80min时LTD的幅度分别为(57.5~2.8)%和
(67.7~3.4)%.以上结果表明:特定型式的低频率刺激
能够诱导成年大鼠海马CAI区的LTD,提示LTD的诱导与刺激的组
合型式相关,并且2Hz较5Hz的多串刺激在诱导LTD
中更为有效.
