Abstract EN
Early loss of one sensory system can cause improved function of other sensory systems.
However, both the time course and neuronal mechanism of cross-modal plasticity remain elusive.
Recent study using functional MRI in humans suggests a role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in cross-modal plasticity.
Since this phenomenon is assumed to be associated with altered GABAergic inhibition in the PFC, we have tested the hypothesis that early postnatal sensory deprivation causes the changes of inhibitory neuronal circuit in different regions of the PFC of the mice.
We determined the effects of sensory deprivation from birth to postnatal day 28 (P28) or P58 on the density of parvalbumin (PV), calbindin (CB), and calretinin (CR) neurons in the prelimbic, infralimbic, and dorsal anterior cingulate cortices.
The density of PV and CB neurons was significantly increased in layer 5/6 (L5/6).
Moreover, the density of CR neurons was higher in L2/3 in sensory deprived mice compared to intact mice.
These changes were more prominent at P56 than at P28.
These results suggest that long-term sensory deprivation causes the changes of intracortical inhibitory networks in the PFC and the changes of inhibitory networks in the PFC may contribute to cross-modal plasticity.
