视皮层发育过程中神经元结构会随着外界环境的变化做出适应性改变和调整,具有结构可塑性。视皮层神经元结构变化是视皮层经验依赖的可塑性变化的基础。这些结构改变主要包括突触之间的连接发生变化、树突棘的消失或增加、树突棘的更替及大小的变化、突触后致密物以及神经元周围网络结构发生变化等。结构的变化与神经元内外分子及非神经元成分的活动密切相关,如配对免疫球蛋白样受体B、Ly-6/神经毒素样蛋白1、勿动蛋白、小胶质细胞、细胞外基质等,对视皮层功能和结构的可塑性具有重要影响。此外,异常视觉经验以及丰富环境等外界干预因素对视皮层神经元结构可塑性均可产生调控作用,最终影响视功能的发育或其损伤后恢复。相比于功能学研究,视皮层神经元结构可塑性的研究依赖于细胞及亚细胞水平的高级成像技术,结果更为直观和有说服力。对视皮层结构可塑性的不断探索会增进我们对弱视等视觉发育相关性疾病的理解,为开展相关基础研究和创新治疗手段奠定基础。本文就近年来视皮层结构可塑性方面的研究进展进行综述。
During the development of visual cortex, the structure of neurons will adaptively change and adjust according to the changes of external environment, which shows structural plasticity.The experience-dependent plasticity of visual cortex is based on the structural changes of neurons, which mainly include change of synaptic connections, disappearance or increase of dendritic spines, turnover of dendritic spines, changes in the size of dendritic spines, changes in postsynaptic density and alterations of perineuronal nets.The structural changes of neurons have significant influence on the plasticity of visual cortex function and structure, and are highly associated with some molecules or non-neuronal components such as paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B, Ly-6/neurotoxin-like protein 1, Nogo, microglia and extracellular matrix and so on.In addition, external intervention factors such as abnormal visual experience and environmental enrichment can have significant impact on the regulation of the structural changes of neurons, and finally influence the development of visual function and the recovery from visual impairment.In comparison with the functional studies, studies on the structural plasticity of visual cortical neurons depend on the state-of-the-art imaging techniques at cellular or sub-cellular level with more visualizable and convincing results.The constant exploration of the structural plasticity of visual cortex will enhance our understanding of visual development-related diseases, such as amblyopia, and lay the foundation for related basic research and innovative treatments.Advances in the structural plasticity of visual cortex were reviewed in this article.
