IL-6 Regulation of Hippocampal Synaptic Function

描述(由申请人提供)：神经免疫因子已被证明在正常的中枢神经系统功能和与具有神经炎性成分的中枢神经系统疾病相关的认知功能障碍中发挥作用。我们对调节与神经炎症相关的认知问题的神经元底物的了解是有限的。这一领域的进展需要对神经免疫因子与调节正常大脑功能的细胞和分子机制之间的相互作用有基本的了解。拟议的研究集中在这一问题上，因为它与中枢神经系统疾病有关。公共卫生相关性：项目叙述神经免疫因子已被证明在正常的中枢神经系统功能和与具有神经炎性成分的中枢神经系统疾病相关的认知功能障碍中发挥作用。我们对调节与神经炎症相关的认知问题的神经元底物的了解是有限的。这一领域的进展需要对神经免疫因子与调节正常大脑功能的细胞和分子机制之间的相互作用有基本的了解。拟议的研究集中在这一问题上，因为它与中枢神经系统疾病有关。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Neuroimmune factors have been shown to play a role in both normal CNS function and in the cognitive dysfunction associated with CNS disorders that have a neuroinflammatory component. Our knowledge about the neuronal substrates that mediate the cognitive problems associated with neuroinflammation is limited. Progress in this area will require a basic understanding of the interactions between neuroimmune factors and the cellular and molecular mechanisms that mediate normal brain function. The proposed studies focus on this issue as it relates to CNS disorders.
