Prolonged anesthesia alters brain synaptic architecture
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA(2021)
摘要
Prolonged medically induced coma (pMIC) is carried out routinely in intensive care medicine. pMIC leads to cognitive impairment, yet the underlying neuromorphological correlates are still unknown, as no direct studies of MIC exceeding similar to 6 h on neural circuits exist. Here, we establish pMIC (up to 24 h) in adolescent and mature mice, and combine longitudinal two-photon imaging of cortical synapses with repeated behavioral object recognition assessments. We find that pMIC affects object recognition, and that it is associated with enhanced synaptic turnover, generated by enhanced synapse formation during pMIC, while the postanesthetic period is dominated by synaptic loss. Our results demonstrate major side effects of prolonged anesthesia on neural circuit structure.
