生物谷报道:四氢大麻酚(THC)是大麻中的一种活性成分,海马区是大脑中与记忆有重要关系的区域。研究人员在12月号的《自然—神经科学》期刊上说,THC能干扰小鼠大脑海马区域中神经细胞间的协同作用,并认为这也许能解释毒品为何会损害记忆。
Gyrgy Buzsaki和同事记录了小鼠海马区中多种神经细胞的活动。正常情况下,这种区域中神经细胞会形成团簇,以每秒4~10次的速度激发动能或神经脉冲。但当研究人员将THC或相关的合成药物注射进海马区后,这种协同作用被破坏了。
这种药物没有改变动能产生的数量,而是改变了它们同时发生的趋势。在这种药物的作用下,小鼠的记忆水平低于正常水平,研究人员由此推测,神经细胞的同时放电对海马区功能的正常行使很重要。

Scale bars (top-down), 20 min/0.5 mV, 150 ms/0.2 mV, 10 ms/0.2 mV. (b) Power spectra of respective segments in a. (c) Power spectrogram during the control condition and after increasing doses of CP55940. (d) Similar to c but the agonist application is preceded by injection of the CB1 inverse agonist SR141716A. Data from a single rat shown in a–d. (e,f) Group results, showing spectral differences from baseline. Thin lines, individual experiments; bold lines, mean for each drug condition.
