In recent years, it has been shown that central nervous system agents, such as antidepressants and antiepileptic drugs, reopen a critical period in mature animals. Fingolimod, which is used for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, also restores neuroplasticity. In this study, we investigated the effects of parvalbumin (PV)-positive neurons and perineuronal nets (PNN) on fingolimod administration with respect to neuroplasticity. Fingolimod was chronically administered intraperitoneally to mature mice. PV-positive neurons and PNN in the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and somatosensory cortex were analyzed. An increase in PV-positive neurons was observed in the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and somatosensory cortex of the fingolimod-treated mice. An increase in Wisteria floribunda agglutinin-positive PNN was confirmed in mice treated with fingolimod in the somatosensory cortex only. Fingolimod increased the density of PV-positive neurons in the brains of mature mice. The results indicate that fingolimod may change the critical period in mature animals. |
