Basal forebrain atrophy in frontotemporal dementia
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2020 The basal forebrain is a subcortical structure that plays an important role in learning, attention, and memory. Despite the known subcortical involvement in frontotemporal dementia (FTD), there is little research into the role of the basal forebrain in this disease.

Single-cell RNA sequencing identifies distinct mouse medial ganglionic eminence cell types. [PDF]
, 2017 Many subtypes of cortical interneurons (CINs) are found in adult mouse cortices, but the mechanism generating their diversity remains elusive. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing on the mouse embryonic medial ganglionic eminence (MGE), the major ...

The basal forebrain serves social information processing
Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences, 2023 Empirical evidence suggests a critical, but little understood, contribution of the basal forebrain (BF) to motivational aspects of social cognition. Therefore, we review the current literature on reward and punishment processing in the BF, including social information, in both animals and more recently human imaging studies.

State-Dependent Subnetworks of Parvalbumin-Expressing Interneurons in Neocortex. [PDF]
, 2019 Brain state determines patterns of spiking output that underlie behavior. In neocortex, brain state is reflected in the spontaneous activity of the network, which is regulated in part by neuromodulatory input from the brain stem and by local inhibition ...

Competence, specification and commitment to an olfactory placode fate [PDF]
, 2008 The nasal placode shares a common origin with other sensory placodes within a pre-placodal domain at the cranial neural plate border. However, little is known about early events in nasal placode development as it segregates from prospective lens, neural ...

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials in rat neocortical neurons in vitro. III. Effects of a quinoxalinedione non-NMDA receptor antagonist [PDF]
, 1990 1. Intracellular microelectrodes were used to obtain recordings from neurons in layer II/III of rat frontal cortex. A bipolar electrode positioned in layer IV of the neocortex was used to evoke postsynaptic potentials.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Overexpression of the type 1 adenylyl cyclase in the forebrain leads to deficits of behavioral inhibition [PDF]
, 2015 The type 1 adenylyl cyclase (AC1) is an activity-dependent, calcium-stimulated adenylyl cyclase expressed in the nervous system that is implicated in memory formation. We examined the locomotor activity, and impulsive and social behaviors of AC1+ mice, a
