中国科学技术大学最新Science论文:揭开神经信号传递中的“亲吻-收缩-逃逸”机制
生物世界· 2025-10-17 10:00
大脑功能的实现,依赖于神经元之间高效而精准的 突触传递 。当动作电位到达突触前终端时,突触囊泡释 放神经递质实现信号的跨神经元传递。 20 世纪 50 年代,伯纳德·卡茨 (Bernard Katz) 提出了突触传递过程中神经递质的 量子化释放 假说,奠 定了神经信息传递的细胞机制基础。至 1970 年代初,学界逐渐形成两种对立的突触囊泡释放模型: 全融 合 (Full-collapse) 和 亲吻-逃逸 (Kiss-and-run) 。 然而,由于囊泡释放过程发生在毫秒时间尺度、结构变化处于纳米空间尺度,技术手段的局限,使得关于这 两种模型的争议长期悬而未决,成为困扰神经科学领域半个世纪的难题。 2025 年 10 月 17 日,中国科学技术大学 /中国科学院深圳先进技术研究院 脑认知与脑疾病研究所/深港脑 科学创新研究院 毕国强 、 刘北明 、 陶长路 团队,联合加州大学洛杉矶分校 周正洪 团队,在国际顶尖学 术期刊 Science 上发表了题为: "Kiss-shrink-run" unifies mechanisms for synaptic vesicle exocytosis and hyperf ...

中外团队开发毫秒级成像技术 揭示大脑“微观密码”

中外团队开发毫秒级成像技术 揭示大脑"微观密码" 这一成果为深入理解神经信息加工以及相关脑功能和疾病机理提供了全新视角。(完) 来源:中国新闻网 编辑:张嘉怡 大脑功能的实现,依赖于数千亿个神经元之间高效、精准的突触传递,突触囊泡作为神经递质的载体, 其释放机制一直是神经科学领域的重要问题。 为攻克这一难题,毕国强教授团队联合多个中外团队,经过十五年的持续科研攻关,开发具有毫秒时间 分辨的原位冷冻电镜技术,实现了对神经元突触传递过程的毫秒级"动态定格"。 在具体实验中,科研人员经过一系列的精准控制,得以在囊泡释放的不同阶段捕获其结构快照。再基于 上千套高分辨率三维结构数据的系统分析,他们发现囊泡释放与快速回收是一个可分为三阶段的动态过 程:囊泡首先与突触前膜形成纳米级融合孔("亲吻"),随后迅速收缩为表面积减半的小囊泡("收缩"), 最终大部分囊泡以"逃逸"方式回收,少数发生"全融合"。 "这个中间收缩是一个关键",毕国强解释道,"为神经突触实现高效、高保真信号传递提供了结构基 础"。 《科学》审稿人称"这是一项卓越的研究,提供了富有洞察力的视角"。 中新社合肥10月17日电 (记者 吴兰)17日,国际知名学 ...
绵延之河,时间是否只是空间的倒影?

Core Insights - The article discusses the perception of time in the human brain, suggesting that it is not reliant on an internal clock but rather on interactions with the environment and behaviors [1][17][39] - David Robbe's research indicates that animals, such as rats, develop motor routines to estimate time, which aligns with Henri Bergson's philosophical concepts of time and memory [17][22][39] Group 1: David Robbe's Research - David Robbe conducts experiments to explore how the striatum in the brain may represent time perception through motor control [17][18] - In a treadmill experiment, rats exhibited superstitious behaviors to estimate time, indicating they do not have a true concept of time but rely on learned motor sequences [18][21] - The findings suggest that animals measure time through actions rather than an internal understanding, contrasting with human time perception [37][39] Group 2: Henri Bergson's Philosophy - Henri Bergson's ideas on time, particularly the concept of "durée," emphasize the qualitative, continuous flow of time as opposed to a quantifiable measure [27][39] - Bergson argues that our misunderstanding of time arises from spatializing it, which aligns with Robbe's findings that rats spatialize their actions to estimate time [22][29] - The article highlights the relevance of Bergson's philosophy in understanding the limitations of scientific approaches to time and consciousness [46][48] Group 3: Implications for Science and AI - The discussion raises questions about the nature of time in artificial intelligence, suggesting that AI lacks the continuous, subjective experience of time that living beings possess [41][42] - The article posits that the understanding of time and memory in neuroscience could benefit from integrating philosophical insights, particularly those of Bergson [46][48] - It emphasizes the need for a cross-disciplinary approach to explore the complexities of time perception and consciousness [48]
