Abstract: 目的研究大鼠听皮层(AC)-内侧膝状体(MGB)突触传递的长时程增强(long-term potentiation,LTP)及其突触前机制.方法刺激听辐射纤维,采用脑片膜片钳全细胞技术在MGB分离和记录兴奋性突触后电流(EPSCs);诱导LTP,并观察谷氨酸受体阻断剂对LTP的影响;采用配对脉冲实验对LTP的发生机制进行探讨.结果①AC-MGB突触的兴奋性传递主要由NMDA和AMAP/kainate受体介导,可在MGB成功诱导出LTP;②应用AP-5或KYN阻断突触后神经元的去极化后仍然可在MGB成功诱导出LTP;但用无Ca2+的ACSF替代正常ACSF后,在MGB难以诱导出LTP.③AC-MGB突触传递的LTP伴随着配对脉冲比率(paired-pulse ratio,PPR)的下降.结论AC-MGB突触传递存在LTP机制,其诱导过程不依赖于突触后NMDA受体,但依赖于细胞外Ca2+的浓度;LTP的发生与突触前兴奋性神经递质释放概率增加有关.
