Stress and glucocorticoids are among the strongest inhibitors of adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Despite the known role of the hippocampus in negative feedback regulation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis, whether the loss of hippocampal neurogenesis affects this inhibition has not been examined. Here we tested whether suppression of adult neurogenesis affected the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis response. Our results show that suppression of neurogenesis leads to a potentiated hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis response after an exposure to a mild stressor. This study suggests that suppressed neurogenesis regulates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis response.
应激和糖皮质激素是成年海马神经发生最强的抑制剂。尽管已知海马体在下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴的负反馈调节中发挥作用,但海马神经发生的丧失是否会影响这种抑制作用尚未得到研究。在此,我们测试了成年神经发生的抑制是否会影响下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴的反应。我们的结果表明,神经发生的抑制会导致在暴露于轻度应激源后下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴反应增强。这项研究表明,受抑制的神经发生调节下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴反应。
