项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cognitive and memory impairments associated with normal aging and neurodegenerative disease are emerging as one of our nation's greatest health concerns. Therapeutic exercise has emerged as a non- invasive technique to improve learning, memory and cognition in both healthy and neurologically compromised populations. We posit a novel position that exercise-induced improvements in learning and memory are driven by two factors: First, acute rises in brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) enhance memory; and second, the protracted increases in neurotrophins lead to a selective rescue of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons that co-express nestin that ultimately produces an increase in synaptic efficacy. These enhancements intensify activity-related acetylcholine (ACh) release within the septohippocampal circuit and this is what produces the delayed improvements in learning after exercise. This work will advance the field by providing proof of principle for a new mechanistic theory for how exercise can lead to improved cognitive functioning based on the modulation of the cholinergic system. In this proposal we will determine whether sustained exercise-induced release of neurotrophins, in particular nerve growth factor (NGF), will rescue a select population of cholinergic forebrain neurons that co-express nestin from a hypotrophic quiescent state produced by thiamine deficiency in a rodent model of amnesia (AIM 1). In addition, we will demonstrate the exercise-facilitated improvements in activity-dependent release of BDNF and ACh are time-dependent and uniquely drive the enhancement of different cognitive processes. Moreover, exercise activation of TrkA or TrkB receptors selectively upregulate critical synaptic proteins involved in the distinct temporal profile of neurochemical release and behavioral improvement (AIM 2). Developing both behavioral and pharmacological therapeutic interventions for cognitive/memory disorders requires a greater understanding of how the pathological brain reacts and adapts differently from the healthy brain. Such critical pre-clinical information is needed to improve the development of therapeutic strategies that are effective for the recovery of cognitive functions.

描述（由申请人提供）：与正常衰老和神经退行性疾病有关的认知和记忆障碍已成为我们国家最大的健康问题之一。治疗运动已成为一种非侵入性技术，可改善健康和神经学损害人群中的学习，记忆和认知。我们提出了一个新的立场，即运动引起的学习和记忆的改善是由两个因素驱动的：首先，脑衍生的神经营养因子（BDNF）急性升高可以增强记忆；其次，神经营养蛋白的持久增加导致对基底前脑胆碱能神经元的选择性营救，这些神经元共表达巢穴，最终会产生突触功效的提高。这些增强功能加强了与活动相关的乙酰胆碱（ACH）在Septohappocampal电路中的释放，这就是运动后学习延迟改善的原因。这项工作将通过提供新的原理证明来推进该领域基于胆碱能系统的调节，如何进行运动如何导致认知功能提高。在该提案中，我们将确定持续运动引起的神经营养蛋白的释放，特别是神经生长因子（NGF），是否会挽救从硫胺素静脉曲张中共表达的胆碱能前脑神经元的精选群，从硫胺素缺乏症中产生的降低性静态状态（AIM 1）。此外，我们将证明BDNF和ACH活动依赖性释放的运动相关改善是时间依赖性的，并且独特地推动了不同认知过程的增强。此外，TRKA或TRKB受体的运动激活有选择地上调与神经化学释放和行为改善的独特时间谱有关的关键突触蛋白（AIM 2）。为认知/记忆障碍开发行为和药理治疗干预措施，需要对病理大脑的反应和适应健康大脑的反应和适应方式有更多了解。需要这样的关键临床前信息来改善有效恢复认知功能的治疗策略的发展。
