[134 journals]- Neuroendocrinology: Hypothalamic self-tuning to stress
- Authors: Leonie Welberg
Pages: 377 - 377
Abstract: Stress induces a metaplastic signal at GABA synapses in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus that can account for both the early sensitization and the delayed inhibition of responses to subsequent stressors.

- Pain: Feeling the heat (and cold)
- Authors: Sian Lewis
Pages: 378 - 378
Abstract: A new study shows that a subtype of dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons that express calcitonin gene-related peptide-α are involved in sensing heat but also indirectly modulate cold-sensing neurons.

- Visual processing: Area V4 in motion
- Authors: Leonie Welberg
Pages: 379 - 379
Abstract: Although visual area V4 is known to process object colour and form, it also contains motion-direction sensitive neurons. The authors investigated the functional organization of directional responses in this area using optical imaging and single-cell recording in monkeys. The neurons that respond to stimuli moving

- Neuroimaging: Evaluating ads with fMRI
- Authors: Leonie Welberg
Pages: 379 - 379
Abstract: This study used functional MRI (fMRI) to assess smokers' responses to the content of anti-smoking television advertisements. Advertisements with strong arguments (as rated by smokers) evoked greater responses in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) than those with weaker arguments, and dmPFC activation negatively correlated with

- Psychiatric disorders: Astrocytic ATP in depression
- Authors: Leonie Welberg
Pages: 379 - 379
Abstract: Depression has been associated with glial dysfunction, but the underlying mechanisms have remained elusive. Here, mice that developed depression-like behaviour after chronic social defeat stress had reduced ATP levels in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus compared with non-depressed and control mice. Central or peripheral

Abstract: Animals can form preferences for flavours previously paired with another, undetectable, calorie-rich substance, suggesting the formation of associations between flavours and nutritional value. The authors showed that in humans, increases in plasma glucose levels after ingestion of a flavour paired with the carbohydrate maltodextrin correlated

Abstract: Obtaining high-resolution structural and molecular information from intact brain tissue is a key goal, but existing techniques face several limitations. In a new approach, named CLARITY by the authors, an intact mouse brain tissue was hybridized with a hydrogel to preserve its structure and then

- Neural transplantation: Reprogramming fibroblasts to OPCs
- Authors: Katherine Whalley
Pages: 380 - 380
Abstract: Cell transplantation has potential as a treatment strategy for myelin disorders; however, identifying a source of myelinating cells is essential. The authors exposed mouse fibroblasts to three key transcription factors, generating an expandable population of induced oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). When transplanted into forebrain slices

Abstract: It is hard to demonstrate the presence of conscious processing in pre-verbal infants, but objective measures of consciousness might overcome this problem. The authors recorded event-related potentials in 5-, 12- and 15-month-old infants during trials in which a briefly displayed image of a face was

Abstract: The circadian clock is entrained by daily light fluctuations, but daily temperature fluctuations can also entrain circadian rhythms through an as yet poorly understood mechanism.

- NMDA receptor subunit diversity: impact on receptor properties, synaptic plasticity and disease
- Authors: Pierre Paoletti|Camilla Bellone|Qiang Zhou
Pages: 383 - 400
Abstract: NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are glutamate-gated ion channels and are crucial for neuronal communication. NMDARs form tetrameric complexes that consist of several homologous subunits. The subunit composition of NMDARs is plastic, resulting in a large number of receptor subtypes. As each receptor subtype has distinct biophysical,

Abstract: Contexts surround and imbue meaning to events; they are essential for recollecting the past, interpreting the present and anticipating the future. Indeed, the brain's capacity to contextualize information permits enormous cognitive and behavioural flexibility. Studies of Pavlovian fear conditioning and extinction in rodents and humans

- Sleep and the single neuron: the role of global slow oscillations in individual cell rest
- Authors: Vladyslav V. Vyazovskiy|Kenneth D. Harris
Pages: 443 - 451
Abstract: Sleep is universal in animals, but its specific functions remain elusive. We propose that sleep's primary function is to allow individual neurons to perform prophylactic cellular maintenance. Just as muscle cells must rest after strenuous exercise to prevent long-term damage, brain cells must rest after
