Abstract

The soft cranial window using polydimethylsiloxane allows direct multiple access to neural tissue during long-term monitoring. However, the chronic effects of soft window installation on the brain have not been fully studied. Here, we investigate the long-term effects of soft window installation on sensory-evoked cerebral hemodynamics and neuronal activity. We monitored the brain tissue immunocytohistology for 6 weeks postinstallation. Heightened reactive astrocytic and microglia levels were found at 2 weeks postinstallation. By 6 weeks postinstallation, mice had expression levels similar to those of normal animals. We recorded sensory-evoked hemodynamics of the barrel cortex and LFP during whisker stimulation at these time points. Animals at 6 weeks postinstallation showed stronger hemodynamic responses and focalized barrel mapping than 2-week postoperative mice. LFP recordings of 6-week postoperative mice also showed higher neural activity at the barrel column corresponding to the stimulated whisker. Furthermore, the expression level of interleukin- 1 β was highly upregulated at 2 weeks postinstallation. When we treated animals postoperatively with minocycline plus N-acetylcystein, a drug-suppressing inflammatory cytokine...Continue Reading

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.
