Experience shapes brain function throughout life to varying degrees. In a recent issue of Nature, Donato et al. identify reversible shifts in focal parvalbumin cell state during adult learning, placing it on a mechanistic continuum with developmental critical periods. A disinhibitory microcircuit controls the plasticity switch to modulate memory formation.
经验在不同程度上塑造了整个生命过程中的大脑功能。在最近一期的《自然》杂志上,Donato 等人确定了成年学习过程中局部钙蛋白细胞状态的可逆转变,并将其置于与发育关键期具有相同机制的连续体上。一种去抑制性的微电路控制着可塑性的转变,从而调节记忆的形成。
