The rodent whisker system provides an excellent model to study experience dependent plasticity in neural morphology, circuitry, and behavior. Rodents use bilateral whisker sensation to gather information about their environment. Unilateral whisker denervation disrupts whisker circuitry but its impact on task specific behavior is largely unknown. Adult mice with unilateral whisker denervation display a preference to using the intact whisker set to inspect objects, but do not have altered open field navigation. An object localization task requiring only the intact whisker set did not detect any change in performance, but gap crossing was impaired after unilateral whisker denervation. Finally, chronic whisker denervation led to increased anxiety-like behavior which was rescued by training on the gap cross task. These findings indicate that mice use behavioral strategies to adapt to life with only one set of intact whiskers.

The discovery of the brain's mirror neuron system enables researchers to gain a deeper understanding of social cognitive activities from the level of neural mechanisms. Mirror neurons are situated in bilateral brain regions, overlapping with the swallowing neural network, and there are complex network pathways connecting the two. Repeatedly inducing the activation of mirror neurons in stroke patients can enhance the brain's ability to relearn its original swallowing function, and then restore the swallowing neural network. With the deepening of related studies, rehabilitation therapies based on the mirror neuron system have been discussed and explored by numerous scholars and applied to the rehabilitation of dysphagia after stroke. In this paper, we review the basic theory of mirror neuron system, its mechanism, its relevance to the swallowing neural network, and the clinical application and research progress of related rehabilitation therapies in stroke dysphagia, with a view to triggering relevant researchers to comprehend and innovate the rehabilitation of dysphagia after stroke.
大脑镜像神经元系统的发现,使研究人员能够从神经机制层面对社会认知活动有更深入的了解。镜像神经元位于双侧大脑区域,与吞咽神经网络重叠,两者之间有复杂的网络通路连接。反复诱导脑卒中患者镜像神经元的激活,可以增强大脑对原有吞咽功能的重新学习能力,进而恢复吞咽神经网络。随着相关研究的深入,基于镜像神经元系统的康复疗法已被众多学者讨论和探索,并应用于脑卒中后吞咽困难的康复。本文就镜像神经元系统的基本理论、作用机制、与吞咽神经网络的相关性以及相关康复治疗在脑卒中吞咽困难中的临床应用和研究进展进行综述,以期引发相关研究者对脑卒中后吞咽困难康复的认识和创新。

Pharmacotherapy in Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS), which is a mental disorder, generally involves benzodiazepines due to their action via GABA, but their side effects, such as excessive sedation, mental confusion and risk of dependence, are considerable. It is important to investigate the anxiolytic potential of plants such as Caryocar coriaceum, due to the presence of secondary metabolic compounds, such as isoquercitrin, capable of promoting the reduction of anxiety during AWS. We evaluated the anxiolytic-like potential of ethanolic extracts from the leaves (EEPL) and pulp (EEPP) of C. coriaceum, and its major compound, isoquercitrin (IsoQuer), in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) during alcohol withdrawal. Adult zebrafish (n = 8 per group) were treated (20 µL; p.o) with EEPL, or EEPP or IsoQuer (0.01 or 0.05 or 0.1 or 0.5 or 1.0 mg/mL) and submitted to the 96-hour acute toxicity test. Flumazenil in adult zebrafish and molecular Docking of IsoQuer were used to investigate the GABAergic involvement. Finally, the anxiolytic-like activity was evaluated during alcohol withdrawal in adult zebrafish. The results indicated that EEPL, EEPP and IsoQuer are safe and have no sedative effect on adult zebrafish. Furthermore, they demonstrated a pharmacological potential in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal-induced anxiety, mediated by the GABAergic system, evidenced in the in-silico study by the stable isoquercitrin-GABAA complex, the main constituent of the extracts. These findings suggest an anxiolytic herbal potential of C. coriaceum and isoquercitrin, providing an alternative for the treatment of anxiety associated with AWS.
酒精戒断综合征(AWS)是一种精神障碍,药物治疗通常涉及苯二氮卓类药物,因为它们通过GABA起作用,但它们的副作用,如过度镇静、精神混乱和依赖风险,是相当大的。由于存在次级代谢化合物,如异槲皮苷,能够促进减少AWS期间的焦虑,因此研究诸如核桃树等植物的抗焦虑潜力非常重要。我们评估了芫荽叶(EEPL)和果肉(EEPP)的乙醇提取物及其主要化合物异槲皮素(IsoQuer)在成年斑马鱼(Danio rerio)酒精戒断期间的抗焦虑作用。成年斑马鱼(n = 8 /组)以20µL;p.o)含EEPL,或EEPP或IsoQuer(0.01或0.05或0.1或0.5或1.0 mg/mL),并进行96小时急性毒性试验。利用氟马西尼在aZF中的作用和IsoQuer的分子对接来研究gaba的能参与。最后,对成年斑马鱼在酒精戒断期间的抗焦虑活性进行了评估。结果表明,EEPL、EEPP和IsoQuer对成年斑马鱼是安全的,无镇静作用。此外,他们还证明了由gaba能系统介导的治疗酒精戒断性焦虑的药理潜力,这在计算机研究中得到了稳定的异槲皮素- gabaa复合物(提取物的主要成分)的证明。这些发现表明,芫荽和异槲皮苷具有抗焦虑的草药潜力,为治疗与AWS相关的焦虑提供了一种替代方法。

Maternal immune activation (MIA) is a risk factor for schizophrenia. Since memory for sequence and stimulus order are disrupted in individuals with schizophrenia, we tested whether MIA animals showed deficits in a sequence learning and object-place recency memory task. In experiment one, control and MIA-challenged rats were required to nose poke five ports in a cued sequence. The sequences were presented randomly except for one structured sequence that was repetitive and initiated from the same port. Both groups were more accurate on the structured sequence and learned the task at similar rates. When a new structured sequence was presented, control animals were able to respond flexibly and take advantage of the structure, whereas the performance of MIA animals was similar for random and structured sequences. Experiment two tested MIA and control rats were evaluated in a Temporal Ordering for Spatial Locations task (TOSL). Control animals had a significant preference for the object in the least-recent location, indicating a novelty preference, while MIA animals did not, although the between-group difference failed to reach significance. Exploration patterns changed differentially over time, possibly because of variation in habituation processes. As a result, MIA animals were significantly less likely to explore the object at the least-recent location during the second half of the exploration session, compared to control animals. Collectively these studies indicate that while MIA animals are unimpaired in simple sequence learning, they display changes in behaviour compared to controls. Differences may result from habituation rate or inflexibility when responding to change.
母体免疫激活(MIA)是精神分裂症的一个危险因素。由于对序列和刺激顺序的记忆在精神分裂症患者中被破坏,我们测试了MIA动物是否在序列学习和物体位置近因记忆任务中表现出缺陷。在实验一中,对照组和mia挑战的大鼠被要求按提示顺序用鼻子戳五个端口。这些序列是随机呈现的,除了一个结构化的序列是重复的,从同一端口发起。两组在结构化顺序上都更准确,学习任务的速度也差不多。当出现新的结构化序列时,对照组动物能够灵活地响应并利用该结构,而MIA动物对随机序列和结构化序列的表现相似。实验二对MIA大鼠和对照大鼠进行时间排序空间定位任务(Temporal Ordering for Spatial Locations task, TOSL)评价。对照组动物对最近位置的物体有明显的偏好,表明有新奇偏好,而MIA动物没有,尽管组间差异没有达到显著性。随着时间的推移,探索模式发生了不同的变化,可能是因为习惯过程的变化。结果,与对照组动物相比,MIA动物在探索过程的后半段探索最近位置的可能性明显降低。总的来说,这些研究表明,虽然MIA动物在简单序列学习方面没有受损,但与对照组相比,它们表现出行为上的变化。差异可能是由于适应率或在应对变化时缺乏灵活性造成的。精神分裂症,失忆症,顺序,逆向学习,认知,行为。

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic complex neurodegenerative disease characterized with amyloid plaques and loss of neurons. TGF-β1 is important growth factor, plays critical roles in cell metabolism, tissue homeostasis, neuronal development, and synaptic plasticity. In this study, we aimed to examine the effect of TGF-β1 on the regulation of α, β, and γ-secretase enzymes, Aβ-40 accumulation, apoptosis, and neuronal damage in an experimental Scopolamine-induced AD-like model. The subjects were divided into 5 groups such as control, sham, TGF-β1 control, Scopolamin group, TGF-β1 treatment groups.Then all groups were divided into 2 subgroups according to 28th-56th days. Except for Morris water maze (MWM) test, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex tissues were taken for light-electron microscopic, immunohistochemical, and biochemical examinations. It was observed that learning and memory abilities, which decreased in the MWM test of the Scopolamine group, increased in the treatment groups. In addition, α-secretase expression decreased in the Scopolamin group, while it increased in the TGF-β1 treatment group. It was determined that Aβ-40 and caspase-3 immunoreactivity, β and γ-secretase enzyme levels increased in the Scopolamin group and decreased in TGF-β1 treatment group. Cellular degenerations were relatively decreased in TGF-β1 treatment group. It was thought that TGF-β1 might have a therapeutic effect on Alzheimer's disease by increasing memory performance and preventing Aβ-40 accumulation in the AD-like model induced by Scopolamine and also, may be effective preventing neuronal damage by down-regulating caspase-3 expression. When all the findings evaluated together, it was concluded that TGF-β1 could be evaluated as a therapeutic agent in Alzheimer's disease.
阿尔茨海默病是一种以淀粉样斑块和神经元丧失为特征的慢性复杂神经退行性疾病。TGF-β1是一种重要的生长因子,在细胞代谢、组织稳态、神经元发育、突触可塑性等方面发挥重要作用。在本研究中,我们旨在研究TGF-β1在实验性东莨菪碱诱导ad样模型中对α、β和γ分泌酶、a -β -40积累、细胞凋亡和神经元损伤的调节作用。将受试者分为5组:对照组、假手术组、TGF-β1对照组、东莨菪碱组、TGF-β1治疗组。各组按第28 ~ 56天分为2个亚组。除Morris水迷宫(MWM)外,取海马和前额皮质组织进行光电子显微镜、免疫组织化学和生化检查。观察发现,东莨菪碱组在MWM测试中下降的学习和记忆能力在治疗组中有所提高。此外,东莨菪碱组α-分泌酶表达降低,TGF-β1治疗组α-分泌酶表达升高。结果表明,东莨菪碱组小鼠a -β -40、caspase-3免疫反应性及β、γ分泌酶水平升高,TGF-β1治疗组小鼠β、γ分泌酶水平降低。TGF-β1治疗组细胞变性明显减少。我们认为TGF-β1可能通过在东莨菪碱诱导的ad样模型中提高记忆性能和阻止a -β -40积累而起到治疗阿尔茨海默病的作用,也可能通过下调caspase-3的表达而有效预防神经元损伤。综合评价这些结果,我们认为TGF-β1可以作为阿尔茨海默病的治疗药物。

Exposure to extreme stress can negatively impact behavior and lead to prolonged fear sensitization. These processes can be studied in the lab using stress-enhanced fear learning (SEFL), where prior exposure to inescapable stress exacerbates later contextual fear conditioning. A common method to reduce conditional fear is through extinction, where a conditional stimulus once paired with an unconditional (US; e.g., a footshock) is presented alone. Previous research shows that extinction learning may not be as effective at reducing fear behavior in rodents previously exposed to stress, mirroring similar extinction impairments observed in aged rodents. Weak-shock exposure (termed US deflation) following conditioning with a strong shock has been proposed to be an alternative to extinction where presentations of weaker versions of the US would work to modify the original fear memory rather than create a new memory as in extinction and thus more precisely target the original context fear memory. While effective under normal conditions, it has yet to be studied how effective US deflation is at reducing stress-enhanced context fear. Here we aimed to test if US deflation could reduce fear in a SEFL paradigm and identify any constraints of this effect. Following 15 inescapable footshocks or matched chamber exposure, male and female Long Evans rats received 1 context-shock pairing or 5 context-shock pairings in a novel context. The next day, they were given either 10 weak footshocks (US deflation) or extinction before behavioral testing. Following training with 1 context-shock pairing, both US deflation and extinction functioned similarly in reducing freezing behavior of stressed rodents. However, following 5 context-shock pairings, only the unstressed rodents displayed a significant decrease in fear behavior, suggesting that prior stress coupled with more robust conditioning can limit the efficacy of US deflation in reducing fear behavior. Finally, we replicated the SEFL effect in aged rodents and found that they showed a significant decrease in stress-enhanced fear learning following US deflation, whereas our previous research showed impairments of traditional extinction in aged rodents. Together, these results suggest that US deflation can reduce SEFL in both adult and aged rodents following a single context-shock pairing, with additional pairings rendering this procedure ineffective at mitigating the effects of prior stress.
暴露在极端压力下会对行为产生负面影响,并导致长期的恐惧敏感。这些过程可以在实验室中使用压力增强恐惧学习(SEFL)进行研究,其中先前暴露于不可避免的压力会加剧后来的情境恐惧条件反射。减少条件性恐惧的一种常见方法是通过灭绝,即条件刺激与无条件刺激配对(美国;例如,脚震)单独呈现。先前的研究表明,在先前暴露于压力的啮齿动物中,灭绝学习可能不会有效地减少恐惧行为,这反映了在老年啮齿动物中观察到的类似的灭绝损伤。弱冲击暴露(被称为美国通缩)在强冲击条件下被提出是一种替代灭绝的方法,在这种情况下,美国较弱版本的呈现将有助于修改原始恐惧记忆,而不是像灭绝那样创造新的记忆,从而更精确地针对原始情境恐惧记忆。尽管在正常情况下是有效的,但美国通缩在减轻压力增强的情境恐惧方面的效果如何,还有待研究。在这里,我们的目的是测试美国通货紧缩是否可以在SEFL范式中减少恐惧,并确定这种效应的任何约束条件。在经历了15次不可避免的脚冲击或匹配的室暴露后,雄性和雌性Long Evans大鼠分别接受了1次情境-冲击配对或5次新情境中的情境-冲击配对。第二天,在行为测试之前,他们要么受到10次微弱的冲击(美国通缩),要么受到灭绝。在1情境-冲击配对训练后,美国通缩和灭绝在减少应激啮齿动物的冻结行为方面具有相似的功能。然而,在5次情境-冲击配对后,只有没有压力的啮齿动物表现出明显的恐惧行为减少,这表明先前的压力加上更强大的条件反射可以限制美国通货紧缩在减少恐惧行为方面的效果。最后,我们在老年啮齿动物中复制了SEFL效应,发现它们在美国通货紧缩后表现出压力增强的恐惧学习显著下降,而我们之前的研究显示,老年啮齿动物的传统灭绝功能受损。综上所述,这些结果表明,在单一情境-电击配对后,美国通缩可以降低成年和老年啮齿动物的SEFL,而额外的配对使该过程在减轻先前压力的影响方面无效。

These processes can be studied in the lab using stress-enhanced fear learning (SEFL), where prior exposure to inescapable stress exacerbates later contextual fear conditioning. A common method to reduce conditional fear is through extinction, where a conditional stimulus once paired with an unconditional (US; e.g., a footshock) is presented alone. Previous research shows that extinction learning may not be as effective at reducing fear behavior in rodents previously exposed to stress, mirroring similar extinction impairments observed in aged rodents. Weak-shock exposure (termed US deflation) following conditioning with a strong shock has been proposed to be an alternative to extinction where presentations of weaker versions of the US would work to modify the original fear memory rather than create a new memory as in extinction and thus more precisely target the original context fear memory. While effective under normal conditions, it has yet to be studied how effective US deflation is at reducing stress-enhanced context fear. Here we aimed to test if US deflation could reduce fear in a SEFL paradigm and identify any constraints of this effect. Following 15 inescapable footshocks or matched chamber exposure, male and female Long Evans rats received 1 context-shock pairing or 5 context-shock pairings in a novel context. The next day, they were given either 10 weak footshocks (US deflation) or extinction before behavioral testing. Following training with 1 context-shock pairing, both US deflation and extinction functioned similarly in reducing freezing behavior of stressed rodents. However, following 5 context-shock pairings, only the unstressed rodents displayed a significant decrease in fear behavior, suggesting that prior stress coupled with more robust conditioning can limit the efficacy of US deflation in reducing fear behavior. Finally, we replicated the SEFL effect in aged rodents and found that they showed a significant decrease in stress-enhanced fear learning following US deflation, whereas our previous research showed impairments of traditional extinction in aged rodents. Together, these results suggest that US deflation can reduce SEFL in both adult and aged rodents following a single context-shock pairing, with additional pairings rendering this procedure ineffective at mitigating the effects of prior stress.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8823,"journal":{"name":"Behavioural Brain Research","volume":"481 ","pages":"Article 115438"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142999297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hypertension, if untreated, can disrupt the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and reduce cerebral flow in the central nervous system (CNS) inducing hippocampal atrophy, potentially leading to cognitive deficits and vascular dementia. Spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) demonstrated neuroplastic alterations in the hippocampus, hyperlocomotion and memory deficits in males. Cerebrolysin (CBL), a neuropeptide preparation, induces synaptic and neuronal plasticity in various populations of neurons and repairs the integrity of the BBB. This research aims to investigate the behavioral outcomes in locomotion and recognition memory in the Novel Object Recognition Test (NORT) and assess the neuroreparative effect of CBL on the cytoarchitecture of neurons and the spine density in pyramidal neurons of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), the entorhinal cortex (EC) and the CA1 region of the dorsal hippocampus, as well as spheroidal neurons of the dentate gyrus (DG). Our findings indicate that SHR exhibited elevated diastolic and systolic pressures, and increased locomotion. Importantly, CBL treatment improved recognition memory in SHR strain. Hypertension led to reduced arborization in the EC, CA1, and DG regions. Moreover, CBL treatment increased arborization in both normotensive and hypertensive rats in the CA1, and DG regions of hippocampus and EC and selectively increased spine density in the hippocampus of hypertensive rats. These findings suggest that CBL neurotrophic treatment enhances recognition memory and promotes dendritic growth or spine density, depending on the neurochemical environment within the brain.
高血压如果不治疗,会破坏血脑屏障(BBB),减少中枢神经系统(CNS)的脑流量,诱发海马萎缩,可能导致认知缺陷和血管性痴呆。自发性高血压大鼠(SHR)表现出海马神经可塑性改变,雄性运动过度和记忆缺陷。脑溶素(CBL)是一种神经肽制剂,在不同的神经元群体中诱导突触和神经元的可塑性,并修复血脑屏障的完整性。本研究旨在研究新物体识别测试(NORT)中运动和识别记忆的行为结果,并评估CBL对前额叶皮质(PFC)、内嗅皮质(EC)和海马背侧CA1区锥体神经元以及齿状回(DG)球体神经元的细胞结构和脊柱密度的神经修复作用。我们的研究结果表明SHR表现为舒张压和收缩压升高,运动增加。重要的是,CBL处理改善了SHR品系的识别记忆。高血压导致EC、CA1和DG区域的树杈减少。此外,CBL治疗增加了正常和高血压大鼠海马和EC的CA1、DG区域的树枝化,并选择性地增加了高血压大鼠海马的脊柱密度。这些发现表明,CBL神经营养治疗可以增强识别记忆,促进树突生长或脊柱密度,这取决于大脑内的神经化学环境。

Chronic non-specific neck pain (CNSNP) is a common condition and its relationship to the pain catastrophizing construct in terms of sensorimotor functions and dual task performance is not fully understood. We aimed to investigate the differences in sensorimotor integration, cervical sensorimotor control, and cognitive-motor dual tasking abilities between CNSNP patients (> 3 months) with high versus low catastrophizing tendencies and healthy controls. Ninety participants were recruited, 30 asymptomatic controls, and 60 patients with CNSNP; 30 scoring high (> 75th percentile) and 30 scoring low (< 25th percentile) on the pain catastrophizing scale (PCS). The variables of sensorimotor integration (frontal N30 amplitude), cervical sensorimotor control (head repositioning accuracy (HRA) - left and right), and cognitive-motor dual tasking (percentage of gait speed time increase with a cognitive load) were assessed and compared across groups. In general, performance of sensorimotor integration, cervical sensorimotor control, and cognitive-motor dual tasking abilities was incrementally better comparing the high to low catastrophizing groups, and the low catastrophizing group to the controls. Correlation coefficients between PCS and HRA (left and right) was strong (r = .8, p < 0.001), between PCS and dual tasking cost was moderate (r = .7, p < 0.001), and between PCS and frontal N30 amplitude was moderate (r = .57, p < 0.001). In conclusion, we found that higher pain catastrophizing was associated with poorer sensorimotor integration, cervical sensorimotor control, and cognitive-motor dual tasking in CNSNP patients highlighting the importance of both assessing and treating catastrophizing in the treatment of CNSNP.

Perspective

This study highlights the significant impact of pain catastrophizing on sensorimotor integration, cervical sensorimotor control, and cognitive-motor dual tasking in CNSNP patients. High catastrophizers are particularly vulnerable to these impairments, suggesting the need for comprehensive treatment approaches that address both psychological as well as physical components.

A majority of people with schizophrenia will experience motor symptoms such as impairments to coordination, balance and motor sequencing. These neurological soft signs are associated with negative social and functional outcomes, and poor disease prognosis. They occur prior to medication exposure, suggesting they are an intrinsic feature of schizophrenia. Despite the need to better understand this dysfunction, relatively few studies have provided a detailed focus on motor capability in animal models of schizophrenia. Here we investigate motor coordination in a rat maternal immune activation (MIA) model of schizophrenia risk. The female and male offspring of Polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C), and vehicle-treated, pregnant dams were tested in a horizontal ladder rung task using regular and irregular rung configurations. We extracted information about limb positions from video, and measured faults and gait coordination in the task. We found that adult male MIA rats were more likely to slip from the ladder rungs than control animals, and they were more likely to have multiple limbs slip simultaneously. MIA rats also exhibited more variability in stride length, a result that correlated with slips and mirrored disease-related changes in human gait. In contrast, female MIA rats displayed minimal alterations in motor performance. Our findings show that the ladder task uncovers sex-dependent effects on motor coordination in MIA rats and highlights the potential usefulness of the MIA model for investigating motor dysfunction in an animal model of schizophrenia risk.
大多数精神分裂症患者会出现运动症状,如协调、平衡和运动顺序受损。这些神经系统软体征与负面的社会和功能结局以及不良的疾病预后有关。它们发生在药物暴露之前,表明它们是精神分裂症的内在特征。尽管需要更好地了解这种功能障碍,但相对较少的研究提供了精神分裂症动物模型中运动能力的详细关注。在这里,我们研究运动协调在大鼠母体免疫激活(MIA)模型精神分裂症的风险。在水平阶梯梯级任务中,采用规则和不规则梯级配置对多肌苷-多胞酸(Poly I:C)雌性和雄性后代以及经车辆处理的怀孕水坝进行了测试。我们从视频中提取肢体位置信息,并测量任务中的故障和步态协调。我们发现成年雄性MIA大鼠比对照大鼠更容易从梯子上滑下,并且更容易同时出现多个肢体滑下。MIA大鼠在步长上也表现出更多的可变性,这一结果与滑倒有关,并反映了与疾病相关的人类步态变化。相比之下,雌性MIA大鼠的运动表现变化很小。我们的研究结果表明,阶梯任务揭示了MIA大鼠运动协调的性别依赖效应,并强调了MIA模型在研究精神分裂症风险动物模型中的运动功能障碍方面的潜在用途。

Memory is the ability to acquire and store information following an experience, which can be retrieved by related context exposure. Pioneering studies have demonstrated that sparsely distributed neuronal ensembles or engram cells can serve as neural substrates for storing and recalling memory traces. Many studies of neuronal ensembles have focused on the hippocampus, and increasing evidence has indicated that the neuronal oscillation is closely associated with hippocampal memory functions, including both encoding and retrieval processes. In particular, the theta synchronization of hippocampal ensembles with other brain regions mediates the retrieval of multiple types of memory. The recent progress of theta oscillations in the formation of memory engrams is reviewed, as well as the increased theta power and neurotransmitter regulation on memory function. Detailed information based on an analysis of hippocampal local theta rhythms is presented. Moreover, the hippocampus theta synchronization with the sensory cortex, prefrontal cortex and amygdala, which mediate different types of memory retrieval, are also reviewed. Together, these findings contribute to understanding the important role of hippocampal theta oscillation in the storage and recall of memory traces.
记忆是在经历之后获取和存储信息的能力,这些信息可以通过相关的上下文暴露来检索。开创性的研究表明,稀疏分布的神经元集合或印迹细胞可以作为存储和回忆记忆痕迹的神经基质。许多关于神经元集合的研究都集中在海马体上,越来越多的证据表明,神经元振荡与海马体的记忆功能密切相关,包括编码和检索过程。特别是,海马体与其他大脑区域的theta同步调节了多种类型记忆的检索。综述了近年来在记忆印痕形成过程中θ波振荡的研究进展,以及θ波功率的增加和神经递质对记忆功能的调节。详细的信息,基于分析海马局部θ节奏提出。此外,对海马与感觉皮层、前额叶皮层和杏仁核的同步化进行了综述。总之,这些发现有助于理解海马θ波振荡在记忆痕迹的存储和回忆中的重要作用。
