Regulation of adult neurogenesis by excitatory input and NMDA receptor activation in the dentate gyrus
HA Cameron, BS McEwen and E Gould
Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology, Rockefeller University, New York, New York 10021, USA.
The effects of afferent input and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor
activation on neurogenesis were examined in an intact system, the rat
dentate gyrus, where neurons are naturally born in the adult. In the adult
dentate gyrus, activation of NMDA receptors rapidly decreased the number of
cells synthesizing DNA, whereas blockade of NMDA receptors rapidly
increased the number of cells in the S phase identified with 3H- thymidine.
Acute treatment with NMDA receptor antagonists increased the birth of
neurons and increased the overall density of neurons in the granule cell
layer. Lesion of the entorhinal cortex, the main excitatory afferent
population to the granule neurons, also increased the birth of cells in the
dentate gyrus. These results suggest that adult neurogenesis in the dentate
gyrus of the rat is altered by afferent input, via NMDA receptors, and may
be regulated naturally by endogenous excitatory amino acids.
