Sensory discrimination is essential for survival. However, how sensory information is finely controlled in the brain is not well defined. Here, we show that astrocytes control tactile acuity via tonic inhibition in the thalamus. Mechanistically, diamine oxidase (DAO) and the subsequent aldehyde dehydrogenase 1a1 (Aldh1a1) convert putrescine into GABA, which is released via Best1. The GABA from astrocytes inhibits synaptically evoked firing at the lemniscal synapses to fine-tune the dynamic range of the stimulation-response relationship, the precision of spike timing, and tactile discrimination. Our findings reveal a novel role of astrocytes in the control of sensory acuity through tonic GABA release.

星形胶质细胞通过丘脑中的补药抑制来控制感觉敏锐度。

感觉辨别对于生存至关重要。但是,如何很好地控制大脑中的感官信息尚不清楚。在这里,我们显示星形胶质细胞通过丘脑中的补品抑制来控制触觉敏锐度。从机理上讲,二胺氧化酶(DAO)和随后的醛脱氢酶1a1(Aldh1a1)将腐胺转化为GABA,并通过Best1释放。星形胶质细胞中的GABA抑制突触突触突触诱发的放电,以微调刺激-应答关系的动态范围,尖峰时间的精确度和触觉辨别力。我们的发现揭示了星形胶质细胞在通过滋补GABA释放控制感觉敏锐度方面的新作用。
