We have previously found that stimulation of serotonin 5-HT1A receptors inhibits the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the rat visual cortex. In the present study, the selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(N,N-dipropylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) significantly reduced N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated synaptic responses recorded in Mg2+-free medium in rat visual cortical slices. In addition, there was good correlation between the inhibitory effects of 8-OH-DPAT on NMDA responses and LTP. These results suggest that 5-HT1A receptor stimulation inhibits the induction of LTP by suppressing NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic excitation in the rat visual cortex.
我们之前发现,刺激5-羟色胺5-HT1A受体可抑制大鼠视觉皮层中长时程增强(LTP)的诱导。在本研究中,选择性5-HT1A受体激动剂8-羟基-2-(N,N-二丙基氨基)四氢萘(8-OH-DPAT)显著降低了在无镁培养基中记录的大鼠视觉皮层切片中N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(NMDA)受体介导的突触反应。此外,8-OH-DPAT对NMDA反应的抑制作用与LTP之间存在良好的相关性。这些结果表明,刺激5-HT1A受体通过抑制大鼠视觉皮层中NMDA受体介导的突触兴奋来抑制LTP的诱导。
