英文摘要The strength of all chemical synapses can be rapidly up-or down-regulated by their recent activities to reshape the postsynaptic signal through a mechanism of short-term facilitation or depression. it is also true that sensory experience is essential for maturation of cortical circuits and function. we studied the effect of sensory experience on the short-term plasticity in brain slices of rat visual cortex. repetitive stimulation was applied in layer ii/iii and the response of pyramidal neuron in layer v was examined by whole-cell recording. we deprived the visual experience of rats by rearing the animals in dark environment. we found that dark rearing (dr) had no effects on paired-pulse interactions of either excitatory postsynaptic currents (epscs) or inhibitory postsynaptic currents (ipscs). however, dr increased the level of ipscs steady-state depression at stimulation frequency of 20 hz or more. this result, together with the finding that dr reduced the excitability of neural circuit in visual cortex, suggested a compensatory mechanism, which may be important in enhancing the network excitability at a time when synapses are immature.
